School days, school days, good ole' .....wwwwhat?

Lilly and I spent the weekend picking up the rest of the supplies from the mile-long list provided by her school. OH. MY. GOSH. Since when did kindergarten require dry erase markers and Ziploc baggies?! What happened to the days of crayons, scissors, and glue? Now they're required to take not only two bottles of Elmer's glue, but also four jumbo glue sticks. How much gluing will take place in one school year? And, conveniently the #2 pencils (Ticonderoga, only) came in only a three-pack or a twenty-four pack, when the school list calls for only twelve. Hmmm? You think SACS has a deal with Ticonderoga?! LOL! Thus far, I've spent nearly $70 on the thirty-four item list...and I've yet to purchase the gym shoes which are required to stay at school.
I just cannot believe Lilly is about to start kindergarten. She's growing too quickly and I know time will go by even more quickly now that she's in school. Before we know it, Anderson will be starting kindergarten too! Eeek!

let me just say, as a (former) teacher, those supplies are greatly needed in the classroom. i know it seems like a lot, but it's really not, coming from the teacher's perspective.
