Back-to-school shopping

Now that school is over, its time for back-to-school shopping!  Summer things (clothes, shoes, etc.) are on big clearance, and new clothes, shoes, and school supplies for autumn are on display. 

We went shopping for sandals for the kids yesterday and had a hard time finding anything in their sizes.  We did eventually find a pair for each of them, and I'm hoping the kids wear them instead of their Crocs.  Ben loves his Crocs, but has had several wipe-outs on the sidewalk while running in them - his poor little knees (and elbows) are just now getting healed.

Today we did Susanna's back-to-school shopping.  It took about 5 minutes.  We bought a pair of grey trousers, a grey skirt, and two white polo shirts.  Along with her white button-downs, grey jumpers, and school dress, tie and cardigan from the year just ended, she'll be all set.  Having to wear a uniform certainly does simplify things!
