...to track down school supplies for Ethan and the rest of his class. And to figure out what the rest of my tax money is used for.

Oh my word I love shopping for school supplies SO much! Staples is one of my favorite stores in town, and I love this time of year for the excuse it affords me to shop there. Construction paper was on a great sale the other week, and I have SO much of it now! Of course, I'm only buying what I want to: no one is giving me a list, suggested or otherwise, and I'm sure that's part of the charm : )
How insane that it has to be ELMERS and other name brand stuff...good grief. Store brand will suffice I think?! I would be so mad if they made me do that.
Wow, that is absurd... I don't remember our teachers caring so much about our school supplies when I was in elementary school!
Good luck with the start of school!

ps, as I was going through my winter things from Russia I came across the fingerless mittens you knitted for me! Thankfully Russia did not destroy them too much. Definitely packing them for the UK! :)

SOAP? You have to bring soap?! And disposable snot rags?! Why don't they ask you to bring a year's supply of toilet paper while you're at it?
