- [ruby] shari, this is yourfavorite day of the year. - i know, it's better than christmas. - [ruby] we're gonna goback-to-school shopping. (upbeat music) we are only getting school supplies. i want to know wherei can learn that look. that's not bad. give it to me. (laughs) i think she gets it from kevin!
(tires screeching) get in the van. get goin', get goin! in case you're a littleconfused by who that girl was, she looks a lot like abby and julie, but she is olivia, their cousin, and she is spending sometime with us this week. and we're gonna goback-to-school shopping. do you smell that?
do you guys smell that? our van smells like there's a yogurt cup that's been sitting in here for days. shari. (laughs) - i'm gonna go with you, becausedad's taking a long time. - [ruby] 'kay, get in. - is there like, a poopy diaper in here? - [ruby] that's what i said!- mom, it stinks so bad! - [ruby] it smells likeit's been in here for days.
- i know, what is it? - [ruby] i don't know, but it is rancid. shari, this is yourfavorite day of the year. - i know, it's betterthan christmas, honestly. i was laying asleep last night, i had a hard time falling asleep. and then i woke up at like, 3:30, and was like, it's almost time! (upbeat electronic music)
- [ruby] does everyone wanna take this? that might be easier foreach kid to go through. do you wanna do that? - wait, do we all grab one? - olivia and cody, you can have one too. i'm gonna let you guys pick acouple things that you want, but i'm not gonna getall your school supplies, because i want your momand dad to have that. - yeah.
- 'cause i know they'reexcited to do that for you two. - should i take a cart for the giveaway? - yes, we are going toget you guys a cart too. do you guys wanna pick something fun? oh, russell! you're in your pajama shorts. i don't care. we're falling behind on laundry. the kids definitely needsome back-to-school clothes.
we will be doing a back-to-schoolshopping video as well. it's gonna be definitely somethingyou've never seen before. you've never seen back-to-school shopping the way we're doin' it this year. can't wait! we're learning over the years things that make life a little easier with back-to-school shopping,so here's a tip for you, it will require you not to sleep in,
we came as soon as the store opened, it's like seven in themorning, but nobody's here. so i can take my timewith each of the kids. we've come in the afternoons before, and these aisles are chuck-full of people, and it gets super stressful. shari's so excited. they're racing! so all of the kids have backpacks,
they are the cutest backpacksin the entire world. we're going to be givingyou a backpack too, but we do need to get some lunchboxes. so let's start with lunchboxes, shall we? okay, i actually think this is darling. - i like this one. - [ruby] you like that one? do you? - [ruby] it matches your shirt,i wonder why you like it.
- oh, it does, i didn't notice that. i like it though.- [ruby] that's cute. oh, my gosh, we havethe same taste olivia. that's the one i picked too. - it's cute. - [ruby] it is so cute. - it's like tie-dye version. - [ruby] 'kay, i'm gonna let you guys pick three things that you want.
julie, i love that one! is that the one you want? it's huge! - i know. - [ruby] are you evengonna pack that much food? - i don't know, probably not. - [ruby] oh, heck. oh, my heck, that's cute. - what about this one?
- [ruby] here's what idon't like about these, is you pack your sandwich, and your juice, your yogurt like this, and then you put it in your backpack like this, andthen when you go to open it, everything's spilled everywhere. you're old enough, you do what you want, but i think that she'd have a mess. ooh. so smart.
last year, the lunch accessories, i don't remember seeingthem by the lunchboxes. that's a genius idea though. i love the idea ofeveryone having a color, so whoever leaves theirstuff out on the counter, i can say, "hey, you're orange, "you're the one who didn'tput your stuff away." oh, i love that idea. it's such a good idea.
- so the kids are gettingthose little containers, and there's only four colors, and so i found this that fitsperfectly in my lunchbox, it's a little bento box,so it'll fit perfectly in my lunchbox, sothat'll go in my bucket. abby's wondering the requirementsfor the school supplies, and usually every yearthey send out a list of what you need to get, but this year, they haven't sent the list out, so...
i would just be smartand just get basic stuff, like red pens, pencils, maybelike a couple notebooks? - i'm looking at thelocker stuff right now, and shari already haslike, one of these thingies that is used to hold pencils. i was looking at what else imight wanna get for my locker. (upbeat synth music) - [ruby] are you justpicking random stuff? - it's an eraser and a snap bracelet.
- [ruby] it's an eraserand a snap bracelet? - [ruby] and a ruler? my experience is thatthese are a waste of money. they're fun... and you play with them for a week, and then they add to theclutter under your bed. - we had to look forthese all of last year, the erasable pens. - [ruby] (gasps) i rememberlooking all over for those.
- red and black and blue arethe colors i need for school. - [ruby] that is awesome,grab an extra one for russell. - okay. - [ruby] and julie, grab one of those too, put it in your box. so russell, are theseright-hand or left-hand? - right. - [ruby] right? you're a lefty.
- oh, right. - but you can always switch'em, you can always switch 'em. - [ruby] are they switchable? - yes.- yes, look. so i'm a right-hand, andthen if i'm on this side, i'm a left hand, and it works. - [ruby] um... - all scissors in the world do that. (record scratching)
- [ruby] kevin, is that true? - what? - [ruby] c'mere. cody's saying that allscissors in the world are right and left, that youjust switch it upside-down? is that true? (quirky music) - i don't know. i've never thought about it though
because there's always alittle hole for the thumb. - yeah, that's for the thumb. - [ruby] i just don't know. - we should try it. - [ruby] well try it with these. try it. here, does it workright-hand or left-hand? does it work right-hand or left-hand? - no, no, no.
what he's saying is if you want it to cut with the other hand, youhave to flip it upside-down, and then you can use the left-hand. no, i'm not saying that. i'm saying you can always... see, look, i'm right-hand. - [ruby] 'kay, that's your left. yeah but if you're cutting... if you're cutting with your left, then...
- [kevin] it just bends the paper. - [ruby] i think it just bends the paper. - no. - [ruby] 'cause the top one has to... - yeah, it does, i've tried it. - my brain is starting to bend. do you guys know the answer to this? it seems like that's practical, but i swear it doesn't work that way.
how do you know thoseare left-hand scissors? - this is my left hand. (laughing) - these are left-hand scissors, why? because look, my left hand can fit in it. i just... i don't know if i agree withthat logic, i don't know. cody, you are the cutest little boy, but i don't think it works that way.
i don't think it works that way, i think it has to say left on it. olivia has a really good tip, this is where i alwaysgo wrong every year. i was like, what is this for. - they have these pencils,and they have to use lead to write with, so i got the lead, and so i can just keeplike, the little lead cases. - and see, this is wherei go wrong every year.
i get extra lead, and then you know where these lead things end up? somewhere between thestove and the fridge, where dust bunnies liketo live, and lead boxes. but if you put 'em in a cute backpack, they might avoid the doomof the dark fridge hole. it's a good idea. 'kay, shari's gone to nuts-o town. - so far we've gothighlighters, post-it notes,
binders, notebooks, pencils, pouches. we're doin' good. explain to me how an "lol surprise" is a back-to-school supply. - [ruby] we are onlygetting school supplies. well that looks like, mad. 'kay, give it to me. oh, that's pretty good. oh, olivia, i think if you lived with me
you'd get just about anything you wanted. how can you say no to that face? - okay, let's do allthe various eve looks. okay, first of all, there's the... - [ruby] no, but this hasto be a little more open, like open and wide on that side. (laughs) yes! - sad face. - yes.
there's the aghast face. - do angry face. - i kinda think eve should be an actress, because she has all the faces. do you know what you'redoing when you're doing it? do you know you're being manipulative when you're doing that? you do? (gasps) okay, that's super cute.
- you said we couldget four things, right? - three, but if you wannapush it to four, i'll say yes. give me the i-didn't-get-what-i-want, please-give-it-to-me, okay, olivia, you can have four items. - no, you need to do puppy dog eyes. - [ruby] puppy dog, the puppy dog eyes. oh, well you keep doin'that, i might say five. - i know where the cutest thing is.
- [ruby] where? i think you're the cutest thing. we're not in the school supplies anymore. a baby horsey, aw. back to the school supplies, missy. eve, wrong way, it's theother way, turn around. the answer's no. the answer is a big fat no, now go back over to the school supplies.
no. why are you making my life harder? you guys are making thisso much more difficult. - [olivia] i'm sorry! - [ruby] you like this? - [ruby] it helps you withyour feelings and emotions? do you think that would be helpful to you? can i look through it? (peaceful guitar music)
maybe this is a good book. would you like to get it? - yep. - "some of the best things in life "are the little everydaythings we take for granted. "what do you want more of in your life?" and that's like a journalentry, and you would write... if i get this for you, youhave to actually use it. - i will.
- okay, here's another one. "freaking out about somethingthat hasn't happened yet." (laughs) do you ever do that? you can get it. who picked up this book? - [daughter] olivia, shetraded that for something. - [ruby] olivia? - [daughter] so she's decided-- - [ruby] so how manypieces has she gotten now?
oh, six? - well she was gonna keep this so that she could getrid of the pencil box. - wait, why does she get a textbook? - do we have seven items now? olivia, when you watch this video, you know that your aunt ruby loves you and you can come live withme anytime you want, okay? anytime. (laughs)
and i will buy you as many school supplies as your heart desires. kevin, you survivin' over there? - my favorite day of the year. - [ruby] you love it, don't ya? kevin loves it, yes you do. - i have to admit that thatlittle dinosaur is cute. - [ruby] so i'm saying no... - [kevin] i'm saying yes.
- and kevin wants to say yes. does that make us terrible, awful parents, 'cause we don't agree on a dinosaur? - this is one day out of the year, and if it makes her excitedto come, then i'm okay. (sighs) - everyone grab your basket,and follow uncle kevin, and we're going to go check out. it means you're buying.
- oh, i knew i'm useful for something. - no, we love you, butyou're still buying. - we did it, give me five. you guys, we made it. thanks for your help, katie. - [both] cake pops, starbucks,cake pops, starbucks! - thanks mom. - [ruby] you're welcome. - thank you, thank you mommy!
- [ruby] you're welcome! - okay, mystery solved, guys, remember that smell that was really bad? olivia found what it was. we brought the animals home from their little stay-cation yesterday, and they gave us this spare rat that they hadn't fed the snake, and they put it in a bag.
dad left it in the car,didn't bring it in. so we think that's what it is. we couldn't see it because it'sall wrapped in its plastic, but you could smell it, so ithink we found the culprit. ♪ it's a new day ♪ ♪ can you hear the music ♪
