Tax Free

This year Tennessee set aside this weekend as a 'Tax Free' weekend on all school clothing and supplies.

We originally went to shopping for all the kids stuff yesterday, (Thur July 31) but we saw a sign announcing the Tax Free Day - and decided to hold off.

The only thing was we already picked out the new shoes for the girls - on clearance, so what to do with them so we could get them today? Humm!

We did our own version of layaway - I took the shoes and closed the boxes and stood them on end behind the stacks of boxes on the lowest shelf. They couldn't be seen. Sure enough - first thig this morning, we found them just where we left them.

So we ended up going to 2 different stores to acquire all we needed for J&N to start school a week from Monday. My how this summer has blown by!!!

Needless to say we were extremely happy about not paying any tax on the items we purchased today. We saved enough for 3 more pairs of pants for the girls!

Here's one dad who's very thankfully!!!
