I love the way you encourage Solomon . He is so quiet. The girls know what they want Lol 😂
Yes Solomon is just goes with the flow he never asked for anything and he's grateful for everything he gets
The girls have Dad wrapped around their little fingers. Much love and happiness in this family.
Ngl my dad was the same with his girls 😅 poor dads, they’re the absolute best 💝
So happy sophia is going to school.
Solly sitting in the back seat watching the girls talk about what they got. He is a kindhearted little boy. Maybe he can go to public school later if he wants to. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
im sure he knows whats best for each child
I still have my jansport backpack 20 years later. They are a great bag.
You are such a great father to your children. They are so fortunate to have you. Have a great shopping day❤
Claudia has blossomed so much since she has been going to school. It will be great for the kids to attend school together and make friends with other kids they need to have that. They are growing up so fast the older boys are amazing and such great help to you Asher is the best friend to all. Good luck with your adventure in finding your new partner she will need to be special and have so much love to give to your children.
Do you think Solly should go to public school, to get him used to socializing.
@cathyburger3466 no Solly would hate it. Public school isn't for everyone.
@@cathyburger3466 I would think he’d go sooner rather than later since he is nearing the age the older boys began working to encourage fiscal growth and foster familial responsibility. Working with the public without developing skills and abilities to assist with introvertness feels like a set up for failure. Mr Mills seems to have his kids best interests at heart and I’m sure will get Solly the help and experience he needs to grow beyond his comfort zone.
@@cathyburger3466 Sorry but is a complete MYTH that homeschooled kids don't have friends or are not socialized! School is for learning not socializing.
Tom you are a wonderful father. God Bless you and your beautiful family ❤🙏🏻
My God! This place is selling with very big prices. Annette is right. You are paying triple, at this store. May God continue blessing you all ❤
New school supplies smells so good.
Enjoyed this video. You can see how happy they were picking out their school supplies and sneakers. Best Dad!
I always loved this time of year when I was a kid... but after wearing all my new stuff, I was ready for summer to come back! 😂😂 good luck, kiddos, enjoy! Thx for sharing ❤❤❤
Back in the 80’s when my children went to elementary school we didn’t buy any supplies! It was all provided! Things have really changed! Good job Dad!
❤️💜 Wonderful video ! Always so exciting picking out all those new and glittery back-to-school supplies ! 📚 🖊️ 🎒 The kids are so well behaved and inspiring. Blessings to The Mills Family.
" yes, I know how to tie my shoes " 🤩 absolutely adorable. 😂😂😂
The kids made out very well for their school supplies.I remember those days with my kids.❤
Hope you wee guys have a fantastic first day at school ❤
Wow, ur patience level is godly...i was getting flustered just watching the video. And i agree with everyone else, Walmart wouldve been a much better and cheaper way to go especially because u have multiple kids to buy for.
I agree...you are one patient daddy! That place fleeced you big time. The prices were insane. Walmart would have been the best place to go...and the water bottle situation was insane! You spent over $100 just on unnecessary water bottles!
Hope the kids have a great school year
Hi Tom, I am from South Africa. So weird to see back to school in August, our school year runs from January to December. I hope all the kids have a fantastic year. The girls were super excited, and Solomon is a precious young man. You are such a good dad.
Here in uk kids don't go back for another three weeks they have six weeks of for summer and three weeks for Christmas
My kids are all grown ,so I really enjoyed this shopping trip. Thank you so much for sharing. It was a lot of fun.🥰
Thanks for taking us along❤
Tom, you are doing a great job. Your kids are so well behaved. I wish you and your family all the best.
Would love if you did a video explaining why you chose public school for some of your kids
I heard him say for Sophia he enrolled her so she could get speech therapy, Eden has decided not to go back to public, one of the older boys goes to public still, not sure about Claudia but Tom did say her personality is just like the older boy that goes to public school.
Walmart would have been cheaper on school supplies.
Yes. A lot cheaper. I was cringing at the prices. It doesn’t hurt to do a little research first.
Yes! But with 4 little kids I would have done the same! I avoid Walmart like the plague 😂!
Well, I think he did what worked for him. And he did GREAT!!! You know what they say about opinions???? We ALL have one.😉
Target had very good back to school supplies
Yeah that's what i was thinking.
You're an amazing dad, girls are getting so big and pretty,good luck on the new school year,have fun and stay safe.
This was a fun shopping trip! Hannah's back pack is so cute. Sophia and Claudia picked out nice ones as well. The purple lunch boxes are so nice!! Great choice. Looks like you all did well with your shopping!
This was so much fun Tom! Sophia has gotten so mature recently. Beautiful kids ❤😊
Patience of a saint … brilliant 😂
It was good to see you adventure out to different stores with the kids. You did good Tom!!!
Walmart is cheaper for school supplies! Ouch!
The prettier colored composition were the right ones for Claudia and Sophia.
@@1GGBEE The list said college ruled for 4th grade though.
Not sure about schools there, but when I was in school, the expo markers were for the teacher😂 and they took them up on the first day of school and I never saw them again. Kind of like the box of tissues, you are buying supplies for the classroom
Many time in classrooms now they use small dry erase boards, and do actually use their dry erase markers regularly!
@@farmhousefor6family60my granddaughters have a dry erase board of their own and they do lots on it. They don’t use much paper.
Walmart is the BEST place to go for school supplies. Composition notebooks are .50, Glues sticks are $1 a Pack, Ticonderoga Pack of pencils are $2.98 Erasers are .50-$1 a pack of 3, Binder paper are .50, Folders with pockets are .50, and crayons/Colored pencils and markers are .50-$1 a pack
Cheapest is not the best.
Staples had better prices
@@katemiller7874they have the same brands at Walmart
i think he did a great job ! and i love everything he bought
I was thinking Sophia's voice is going to be deep like her mum's and how much she is starting to look like her , when you said Andrea would have liked this back pack.
Always make sure your public school kids have a good water bottle. Most schools have water bottle refill stations. Just to make sure they stay hydrated during the day. ❤❤❤❤
Dear Solomon so quiet in the background. Hes a humble soul.
Soloman reminds me of his mother wise and knowledgeable
Claudia is so funny. She is so determined. You did such a good job compromising. Solomon is so quiet.
Each child has/was a different age, stage, and personality when tragedy struck. Solly was always a very emotionally sensitive child, sensitive in the sense that he was/is very aware.
He was a bubbly boy when Andrea showed him on camera, much like Justus. And with precisely both of them you can tell the impact of their mother’s absence.
Tom seems to be doing a very good job taking on multiple roles, it’s just that a mother can’t be replaced. Much like a father can’t.
I would know, I began slowly losing mine to illness when I was too young too.
I believe they can overcome and heal, but it’s going to be a journey. They’re already on it 💟
I love their backpacks they picked out and those glittery binders! Ya have such polite, well behaved kids. 🩷🌸🩷
Wow Walmart is so much more cheaper on school supplies, you could have got everything there even shoes and gotten them clothes too.
I knew you were going to lose that water bottle debate.😂😂
Does anyone else want a sparkly 3 ring Binder? Now I want to go to Office Depot. Those are adorable!
Yes please but have to ship it to uk because our office depot went bankup
I can't find 3 ring binders in the uk. I have a bunch of homeschooling curriculum all pre punched for a 3 ring binder. I Could do with one! Ive put most of it in plastic pockets so it can go in a two ring, but we need to take them out to write on them.@@catherinebarlow3079
I’m glad Claudia likes public school. She seems to love attention so it is probably good for her. Sophia will love it too. Do many new friends!
Great shop for school supplies and quality time together making for good memories. ❤
Thinking of you all today, August 19. ❤
Loved the video and glad you gave in to some of the things they wanted you are a fantastic dad ❤
Back to school shopping is one of my fondest memories from being a kid.
Sophias' voice is getting so mature!!!
Purple is my favorite color
A great haul. I got excited with the kids and was talking to the video. Great job everyone
I would always let my kids pick a new backpack because their tastes change each year. It was kind of symbolic of getting older and the phase they were in.
Shopping off of multiple lists for school supplies for multiple kids in different grades is not easy👏👏👏
I always went to Walmart to buy my kids back to school supplies. They seem to be cheaper. Never never thought about going to Office Depot. They probably would’ve had a better selection of better quality honestly.
Walmart has a better selection
Hi, I'm Misty! I'm from Idaho... Nice to meet you. I'm watching this video, I keep trying to tell you the Dollar Tree would be so much cheaper. I guess you just haven't heard me, haha! 😉😉
Walmart is cheaper than Dollar Tree at back to school time.
I think he has read your comments and is a grownup and is choosing to do what he wants.
They sure know how to twist you arounder the fingers bless them you do so good tom ❤
Fall!!! ❤
Wow they have gotten soooo big ❤ been awhile since watching your videos 🙏 to your family
Hope they all have a fantastic school year!
I remember buying school supplies for my daughters when went to school. Backpacks I would purchase I would purchase three each, one for elementary, one for middle school, and one for high-school. Erasers, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters,, pencil pouch, a set of folders (paper ones) 1 for notebook, and the hand in folders for repots.😊
you should have gone to Wal Mart for all those school supplies. Love watching your families video's. Keep being such a great dad.
Stop telling him where to shop
Enjoy going shopping with all of you. It brings back happy memories. However as a mother and a teacher, I would get so frustrated when purchased markers were dry; erasers , colored pens and pencils were poor quality. It was a challenge to find school supplies that were worth the money spent.
You are so organised dad! I had to buy school supplies but it wasn’t as much because my children’s school suppled a majority of it, I think my biggest expenses was school uniforms and shoes coats ECT that would cost me a lot of money
I would of went to Wal-Mart for the school supplies and then gotten backpack somewhere else
I love it you went somewhere other than the usual places. Love Office Depot
Sophia with the eyes when she looks at you.please day.the girls did and amazing job shoppping. Solomon is so handsome ❤
You are are great father to your kids have a great day 😀
This video reminds me and TWO Daughter's school shopping...They are NOW Mom's and get to do the SAME! Only difference? I never got the SUPPLY list, UNTIL DAY ONE of the year..Great Job Dad!
Have a blessed school year!
College ruled notebooks are usually for high school and above, because younger students need more room when they are learning to write legibly.
It specified on 4th grade college ruled loose leaf paper.
Walmart or Target would have been a better choice price wise for back to school supplies. And Walmart has some great water bottles.
Walmart seems far from his house and I don't know if he has a Target nearby.
The prices at office Depot was ridiculous, Walmart or target would of been much cheaper! Nice to see the children will experience public school, it will be good for them socially for sure...
Don’t be so cheap. Quality is better.
@@katemiller7874 You can get stuff that will last at Walmart too.
Can also run stationery supplies through his business for tax purposes
Sophia will have fun in public school. See if they have some speech class for Sophia
I recall him saying her access to them wasn’t available being homeschooled anymore so I am sure they will be available now
Backpacks need to fit your school folders girls!
I know Staples sells college rules/wide rule paper for a penny at least once a year before children go back to school. Reinforced paper also known as reinforced filler paper sometimes is a good idea to buy especially if the holes on the sides of regular paper in the packs keep tearing too easily on you. Another option is to buy a package of adhesive labels that are stickers in the shape of a circle with a hole in the middle that are made to put on the punched holes of loose leaf paper that tare too easily sometimes. These adhesive labels can be bought at any office supply stores like an Office Depot, an Office Max or a Staples when they are in stock on any of these stores.
❤ good picking out all that stuff. Those girls are so so so beautiful.
Nice video. Dollar Tree is cheaper.
Thats mental how much stuff each kid needs for different classes. I got stressed just picking school uniforms for my lot and the wee bits like stationery and schoolbags etc when they were at school 🤯 Every shop was mobbed which made it worse. Anyhoo, good luck to the wee ones, enjoy school 😊
That list was really small compared to most places
The most we're really expected to buy is a school bag, stationery and a pencil case to hold it all. All those binders, notepads, dividers etc aren't necessary for our Primary schools and our kids aren't allowed to wear their own clothes to school, it has to be a uniform with the school colours or all black with a white shirt/blouse
Good morning all happy Sunday morning and I enjoy your channel and you all amazing supporter
😂😂man.. you just got robbed by office Depot AND finessed by 4 kids at one time.. Dadding is hard work ❤❤
You are a great Dad to go shopping with!
I really feel Sophia is going to love school.
Claudia's sass about her childish outgrown backpack is 10/10 grade school vibes.
Walmart would have been cheaper lol
Next year buy on line from Walmart. My daughter does it’s much easier and it all comes fast she said.
I wanna go shopping w Tom! I want pastel pencils and glittery stuff! 🏫 🚍
I remember when my son was in school, and he said the cool kids had the Ticonderoga pencils. 😅
Everyone had a super fun day - Way to dad💪🏆 🎉🤩
Walmart has back to school sales n you could have saved so much money on back to school supplies
Such a fun experience
Tip...take out insole from shoe and compare with the new shoes insole...want to size up probably
Great job Tom!
The most expensive store for school supplies!
The expo markers are for the teachers because they have white boards in the classrooms
Not necessarily. The kids also have access to small white boards. The kids love to use them .
"enough to choke a large necked animal" 😂
Can’t believe Sophia didn’t want any of the pretty sparkly school supplies. She’s growing up!
Supplies for school would be cheaper at Walmart
There's no way I could afford 500 dollars for school supplies! That's why I didn't have 9 kids!
@@dianeferguson1074 That was only for 2 going to public school and a few things for 2 doing homeschool.
The prices have gotten so high since my kids were in school 😓😱
U r a great dad!!😊🎉❤
All i remember from school lists is buying a crap load of expensive supplies that were never used.
😂😂😂😂😂
Good afternoon Mills family.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
