my senior

Today was my big boy Brenden's first day
of his last year of high school.

:(

A senior.


Where in the heck did all those years go?

It was just yesterday that he would sit with a bucket
on his head and read books.
And you can sure tell that I'm a seasoned mom.
Meaning,
I've learned not to fret over details...
because he came home from school today
and said,

"Yeah ummm, Mom, I really need school supplies.
All I had was a pencil...and I had to borrow that!"

So I hit Target pretty hard tonight.

Gotta love those clearance-priced left-overs
for those of us who wait until the day after the last minute.

awww- what a sweet little boy he is!!

Still haven't bought Johnny school supplies! BTW when were we supposed to do that??

<3 What a precious memory!

LOL, the one supply he had wasn't even his! You are my type of mom. I TOTALLY get that.

Though every year's most important school supply in our house is school shoes.

Which translates to slippers. :)

I bet you miss the days of having your little boy with his bucket on his head. They grow up way too fast!

Seeeee...we are so much alike. We are starting school on Tues., and my boys still need folders and paper and other things, and I am hoping and praying there will still be some decent stuff left when I finally get to the store tomorrow or Monday...

HA! This post made me laugh! My oldest just started her senior year. It's like you were in my head! I forced...and I mean FORCED...myself to go to w.mart at the very. last. second. Most of it was gone, picked over, and surrounded by manic parents. I grabbed a couple of packs of crayons and pencils and left. And the world kept turning the next day anyway.
