    Says you must be school employee, home schooler, etc... All the things I'm not. Any way around it?

    My kids attend public school also :) ... but I do spend lots of time home schooling them at homework time. I'm not a teacher, school employee or home schooler ... but they still send the invitations. I don't thinks that's really a requirement.

    That is what my friend said as well..she said if you work with your kid at home then yes you are still "homeschooling" in a sort of way. She has never had a problem getting in there.

    They also allow people who volunteer at the booksales to go to the warehouse sales.

    Thanks, I registered as a parent and they let me print off the coupon. It's what I get for trying to follow directions:lol: It does lend an explanation to the current state of schools though!!

    Yes. It will cut down on my spending if I have to chase him around:) Maybe we could rope off an area and bring the swords for the boys.

    Boy we would be popular amongst the other moms!! (not!) We can bribe my oldest to at least not loose them.

    For any one who has gone, do you need to bring something to carry the books in? I think I read that one year that it would be easier if you brought a stroller or something with wheels. (or was that kids exchange??)

    My memory may be failing me ... but it seems like they had buggies. I bought so many books while I was there that they provided me with two boxes to carry them out in. I'm pretty sure they had buggies ... because I don't think I could have carried that many books around otherwise. It may not hurt to bring a stoller or wagon ... but I really think buggies were available ... However, I could be wrong. I know .... I wasn't any help at all with that question. Sorry bout that :(

    That's a plan! Load the three year olds down with so many books that they can't walk, much less run.
