Childhood Is A Journey, Not A Race.

I can't believe how fast this summer is flying by! Only 43 more days until school starts back up again. I've already started school clothes shopping but have barely put a dent in it. Buying clothes for 4 kids with varying styles isn't the easiest thing in the world. let me tell you. Thankfully Pacey and Chase are not as complicated to buy for as Venus and Sequel are, at least not yet.
Venus is into basketball shorts and tees, which wouldn't be too bad if he didn't request only Nike. :) Oh... it would also help if he didn't wear adult sizes. I'm hoping I find some good deals on this stuff as it gets closer to school starting. So far, I've had no such luck.
Sequel likes moto cross and skater gear. Oh boy. His favorite store is Zumiez ( a store I can't even pronounce most of the time ). Luckily he can still wear kid sizes but I don't see that lasting too much longer. At least Zumiez runs some pretty good deals before school.

It would probably help if I weren't so cheap when it comes to clothes. I can't stand spending a lot of money on something that will get worn out and outgrown in a year. I have limits. I refuse to spend more than $9.99 on a shirt, $12.99 on shorts, and $19.99 on jeans. Haha, it's back to school bargain shopping at it's finest. I normally do a pretty good job with just a few splurges here and there. Can't wait to see how well I can do this year!
