The day has finally arrived! School supplies day!
To start off, I awoke somewhat early to go off with mom to go shopping for school supplies, which I quite enjoy doing every year.
To start off, we went over to the Dollar Tree, and began checking off items in our list. We only had to get half of what we would have gotten normally, as one of mom's wonderful friends helped us generously, getting various items on the list.
We got a variety of good deals there, crossing off most of the list remaining. Now only the stuff that wouldn't come easy at the Dollar Tree.
We then headed off to Goodwill, but not your average Goodwill, it is a truly awesome one, to get some new school clothes, and as I was the biggest one, I was able to get the most stuff, mainly just some jackets and a lot of awesome Hawaiian shirts, one of them pops made a big deal of, as it was too cool. Thomas didn't get much, as he got what I had before, and Kawena got just enough girl stuff to spruce up her collection of clothes.
We then traveled to Fred Meyers, and finished off the list of school supplies, just getting some felt pens and stuff like that.
Soon after coming home, we had a large problem, and one that I am afraid to say that was my fault. Here is the story:
When we left Goodwill, we got a really long coupon, and we needed it to get anything else. I asked to see it, as it was soo long, and mom told me not to loose it, and I said I wouldn't. I was careless though, and I placed it in the small door handle, And apparently it got flung out of it's hiding place when I opened my door, but I didn't notice...
So after getting all the stuff at Fred Meyers, we drove home, tried out all of the clothes, and were going to return about $25 worth of them, when we couldn't find the coupon!!!
I guessed where it might be, and we took a side stop into the parking lot, and mom was so relieved when I found it stuck in a bush right where it got flung out.
That's what happened, and why Thomas and I got a reward of some new Lego's at Target after we returned the clothes!
We came back home, and after I managed to get to show pops my Hawaiian shirts among the chaos of my siblings, I settled down and wrote this blog!
So, until next post,
