Great News!

I have been waiting and wondering for months now what next year's school year would be like and where my kiddo's would be attending school! I found out yesterday! They were excepted to the Excelsior Academy in Erda!!! We have known that Dawson was going to kindergarten there since February, but we weren't going to send him if Cait couldn't go too and she was #3 on the waiting list. I was really starting to worry the other day when I got an email about kindergarten registration so I just asked about Cait and told them of my dilemma. They were so quick to respond yesterday with the good news. I am so relieved that I know what is going on for school next year and so excited for my kiddo's. I think they will both be pushed to achieve more, and be better citizens overall. If all goes right, they will go now through the eighth grade there.

I was so excited that I went school shopping last night. All the stores have uniforms on clearance so I was super excited especially since they are super expensive. It's kindof a bummer that they have to wear the same thing everyday, but I can see the benefits of school uniforms i.e. modesty, commonality all the good things. I thought I would show you some of the cute things Cait will get to wear next year. Dawson's stuff is pretty boring, white collared shirts, khaki pants, nothing exciting but I was able to get Cait some fun stuff. I actually also went shopping this morning too. All the stuff I got from Old Navy last night was on sale but I couldn't find a coupon to make it even lower, but as fate would have it I got a 25% off coupon this morning in my email. So I bought all the same stuff this morning that I purchased last night and I will just return the first set as soon as I get it. I am a little OCD about getting a good deal, especially the next day.
