Back to School

Listening to IPOD and texting...while shopping for shoes! Total teenage package!

6th grade here he comes!

Freshman year!

Cory's new shoes

For the first day of middle school, our 6th grader was jazzed, excited and could hardly sleep the evening before. He was up at the bus stop 20 minutes before the bus was to be there (just in case!). Our incoming highschool Freshman sauntered out of bed with enough time to get cleaned up just enough, throw on something that never made it to the drawer or closet, but was clean, grab a snack and head out. His biggest worry is girls. (Shhhhh!) He has been at school most of the summer already as he tried out for, and successfully made band. Marching and jazz. In marching band he plays xylaphone, and jazz he plays the keyboard. Being involved in band, he has been all over the school, and has made friends with several upper classmen so he is not worried at all. However, for his first day, he has to be at school extra early (6:30 am) to prepare to play for the student welcome party in the gym.

It's that time of year again! Back to School. While other parents were running around buying notebook paper and that special 3 ring binder, I was out looking for new tennis shoes for our boys. Now that they are young men..they don't wear kids shoes anymore. This means mens sizes - and prices.

I'm sure I've mentioned before, how different the boys are in everything. Shopping is no different. Cory is capable of in and out shopping, if his size is there. (he is very laid back and most of the time doesn't really care about what he wears) Brian on the other hand, is a shopper. He likes to look "GOOD". Fashion is very important and his wardrobe is planned - daily.



Brian's Puma's





Thankfully, I had done some research and based on selection and price we were able to narrow our shopping down to just two stores. Cory found some Reebok high tops, and Brian found some orange Puma's.
