I love this time of the year. We call the various school supplies sales,
unschoolers paradise! We laugh and get excited and then we watch other people with
their lists of what "school" requires in supplies. Then we talk about how sad
it is that their purchases are based on someone elses wants, not to mention
the economic downfall that has devestated public schools. We were at Walmart
the other day and saw a teacher purchasing crayons for her whole class. It was
sad in so many ways.

Anyway, we hope you all enjoy the great sales out there. I love buying stuff
we may never use, just because it was too cheap to pass up!!!

I just picked up a Classroom Direct catalog from my sister's
preschool. It is LOADED with lots of great stuff. I probably wont
buy anything from the catalog, but it gives me great ideas of things
to look for on Ebay!
