Tonight we went on the dreaded school supply shopping trip. Of all of the years we have gone, this by far was the easiest. That is because the boys all decided to bow out. Brett had already bought all he needed for school. Cal and Cam went golfing instead. In years past I probably would have made everyone go along, but in the past few months I have come to realize that everyone has found what makes them happy inside of the Heinisch family. So, unless it is important that we go somewhere as a six-some, I'm OK with them doing their own thing.
Thus, Meg and I picked out Cal and Cam's supplies for them. We had a third grade list for Cam and were able to find everything he needed. As we left Cal said he was showing up the first day with only a pencil. So, that was easy! Alright, we did get him some paper, pens and folders, but still no problems. Meg bought all that she needed (and a little more), so all in all extremely painless compared to years past. We also decided that shopping several weeks early helped as well as the supplies weren't picked over.
We celebrated our success with dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. Brett had ridden along so he could share in this part of our evening. Cal and Cam enjoyed golfing with their grandparents and dining on KFC. Life has changed for us over the years, but the members of the Heinisch family all still had a wonderful evening.
