Yeah I’m from a fortunate family but as a principle unless we needed a new backpack/school bag our parents would not get us one, we would have to buy it ourselves and put one of our old ones in a charity shop. Obviously it’s just whatever suits each family !! xxx
Just love how you included Addison with all of the choices. You could give the "extras" to the place that helps Foster Care Placement Children. They are always looking for backpacks.
They usually do such actions. But as they opened their foster/adoption license again, they probably keep some. But Shelly said also something about returning stuff.
Great way for them to pick their backpacks, and a little competition between you both. Nice the result was a draw. Well done Mindy on the backpack choices. Blessings to you all.
You are the best family. These parents always make sure all of the kids are treated fairly and have so much fun with everything they do! Love all of you!
Loved this video. Seeing what backpacks the kids picked and both the parents reactions was priceless..... I think I can tell why Shelly has trouble throwing.... Her demonstration of throwing was a dead give away. She was talking about throwing and she moved her "hand only" forward as she said she couldn't throw through the doorway. When throwing you have to move your whole arm as well as your hand towards the target....Practice makes perfect ...You can do it!
Just an idea: you could make some permanent 'names in a hat' system, such as a cup full of Popsicle sticks with the names in permanent marker. We've used that in our classroom for years and it makes it easy to choose a random child without any prep-work.
I love how you guys put time into what you do with the kids! And also thank you for being so honest about quarantine and how she’ll be allowed out tomorrow Etc you didn’t have to tell us that you could’ve said that she was clear and she’s finished quarantine so I hope you don’t get any backlash of any kind for it , you did what we would have done under such Circumstances and the child’s age!
That was really fun to watch and see their styles and what they picked out. Shelly and Jared you did a great job of knowing what each child would of picked out!!
I love how Aubrey was keeping Addison updated and showing her everyone’s back packs my siblings would of hung up on me, the such a good family😊 such a great foster family
Great, family fun selecting backpack choices! Happy to hear Addison will be joining the family tomorrow. Hoping you donate backpacks to children's charity, as they could use the help.
So many good choices!! I think my favorites are the striped one that Addison got, Brinleys pink one, and Kasons space one. I'd use any of them! Also the multi colored Adidas and the one with stars all over it were really cute. And the red one with hearts all over! And the very cutesy one with the rainbow and everything. Guess it's a good think I'm not having to pick a backpack, since I would not be able to make a decision! What did surprise me a little though was that none of the kids seemed to look at the layout of the backpack. When I got school backpacks I usually wanted as many different pockets as possible, and I knew what kind of pockets I needed.
This back to school video is by far my favorite one I’ve seen this year ! What an amazing idea to let the kids shop for their backpacks. They are so grateful for the bags, and not wanting that pricy on brand bag. Like nobody chose the Jordan one, until the last one. Lucky Jacob. It must be very stressful seeing the bag he wanted, and had to wait till last.
All the kids are so sweet and supportive of each other. None act entitled or insist upon super duper expensive. You have raised them to be normal kids!!!! Plus you teach them all skills as the come along. Look how Trey went the other day and got the air blower to clean trampoline! Love!!! You guys💕🦋
Loveeeeee the way you did a fun contest for such a simple thing (picking a backpack). I was excited to see the kid' picks and to know who won the contest!!
Jansport is the best! I have black one with leather bottom I bought in 1992 for college after I got out of the military and now use it as my carry-on when I travel, I will not fly without it. My lucky pack. Lol
Love you crazy middles family Jared Shelly thank you for sharing this video as the backpacks came in for the kids go back to school and I’m very happy that you included Addison I’m still praying for her that she’ll feel better soon love watching it love you all the all have a wonderful and blessed evening
Shelly and Jared... Your family is AWESOME! I can cook, clean, do laundry, babysit, and I'm in my 50's.... Can you please adopt me? LoL seriously tho... Love the way you run your family. You guys are always so fair and definitely show true love you have for each one of your kids! You both ROCK 👍👍👍 God Bless You All
Really enjoyed your two videos for back to school. I also love the fact that the boys don’t have their hair in their face. Keep up the good work Shelly and Jarod
You guys are a especially awesome family I love how you cheer each other on and I think it's really cool that nobody said wait that's my backpack and then fight over it the kids are so awesome and they encourage each other and are there for each other I hope Maddie feels better soon
Yes! I work in a hospital and they won't let us retest when we go back to work after testing positive and quarantine because you can test positive up to 3-4 months after your initial positive test.
Love the way they got to pick as it can be pressuring to have to choose in the store where there’s lots of people and other distractions.. they got the time to look and see what they wanted..
Broke my heart when Braxton didn't get the soccer backpack he wanted because he felt too much pressure to make his parents happy and do the right thing
Tell Addison I am still praying for her , and hi rest of the family. Wish I could visit to see what a great foster family is .I been In foster care since 12 year old until 2o. It wasn't that good. But kind of ok. But ya family is really beautiful and great.
My daughter used the same backpack for years & it's still in good condition (she's now 22) my middle child (21) had one every few years but my 12yr old goes through about 3 EVERY YEAR!! XX
@@princess1king2 I remember when the kids got older we bought better more experience backpacks so they used them for a few years. Even going over to stay all night at someone's house and traveling.
Was thinking the exact same thing. They could fill with the left over supplies and donate. We have a backpack drive in my area for kids whom’s families can’t get them. I also work in the school dist and ever year we have over 3500 kids whom are considered homeless (living in motels, cars, etc) it absolutely breaks my heart.
I have so much love for the way you are raising these kids. They are so lucky you are able to shower them with so much love and provide for them. Thank you for sharing with us!
Can you guys please do a locker decoration for the kids who are in middle school by the way hope Addi gets better soon I'm also going into 8th grade 🥰🥰 I get so exited every time I see back to school videos love you guys hope you get better soon Addi 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What a fun game. I would of picked soccer or puma. But my 1rst pick is soccer. Well discussed Jared. Both of u make supers together. Ok I saw a comment forgot the shark. Love animals. If ot was a lot bigger 100% shark.
I had the exact same backpack Addison picked when I was in middle school haha. It's been like 8 years or so, crazy. I still use it from time to time, it's really durable
Good morning everyone happy Saturday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing I'm proud to all of you guys and I loved your channel always
If $ isn’t a huge concern it would be pretty cool to donate the bags to either local schools or a foster care program….maybe toss in a few supplies as well. Every kid wants to start a new year off with some new things.
My daughter used her same backpack all six years of college, and I’m still using it 35 years later! Jansport!!
Yeah I’m from a fortunate family but as a principle unless we needed a new backpack/school bag our parents would not get us one, we would have to buy it ourselves and put one of our old ones in a charity shop. Obviously it’s just whatever suits each family !! xxx
i usually get another one each year but I didn't really go to school this year so I'm gonna use the same one
I still have my Jansport from high school and I started 9th grade in 1996!
Which bag
@@chronicallyella1191 I never got a backpack
Just love how you included Addison with all of the choices. You could give the "extras" to the place that helps Foster Care Placement Children. They are always looking for backpacks.
They probably gonna keep some considering they opened their house again so they might get more kids during the school year that would need them
They usually do such actions. But as they opened their foster/adoption license again, they probably keep some. But Shelly said also something about returning stuff.
@@Amandamarie0701 but she said she was going to return them.
This! Or a local school!
Great way for them to pick their backpacks, and a little competition between you both. Nice the result was a draw. Well done Mindy on the backpack choices. Blessings to you all.
I know it is so smart with all the kids
Just love how helpful and kind and sweet Jacob is. He helped with setting up and cleaning up and he helped with Addison on the phone.
You are the best family. These parents always make sure all of the kids are treated fairly and have so much fun with everything they do! Love all of you!

Love the back packs. I thought for sure one of the little boys would pick lego bag. Hugs to you all.
Love how they picked there backpacks for school. I'm glad Addison feels better. I can't wait for the back to school shopping videos.
I think they're gonna do the clothes one, and shoes cause they already did the school supplies and backpacks
I love how you guys put time into what you do with the kids! And also thank you for being so honest about quarantine and how she’ll be allowed out tomorrow Etc you didn’t have to tell us that you could’ve said that she was clear and she’s finished quarantine so I hope you don’t get any backlash of any kind for it , you did what we would have done under such Circumstances and the child’s age!
I love this precious family . You always show so much love and support for each other . God bless you all ❤️🙏🏻
Aww cute little Braxton can't decide. So relatable 😆 also I love how much Aubrey has embraced the shark theme 😄
That was really fun to watch and see their styles and what they picked out. Shelly and Jared you did a great job of knowing what each child would of picked out!!
I love how Aubrey was keeping Addison updated and showing her everyone’s back packs my siblings would of hung up on me, the such a good family😊 such a great foster family
Should have brought Mindy's son in for the possible tie braker! I am sure there is one there he would have loved. Great choices by all!!
Great, family fun selecting backpack choices! Happy to hear Addison will be joining the family tomorrow. Hoping you donate backpacks to children's charity, as they could use the help.

Who else loves Crazy MIDDLES

Me and crazy pieces too
God

Loveeeeee the way you did a fun contest for such a simple thing (picking a backpack). I was excited to see the kid' picks and to know who won the contest!!
i literally have the sameee exact backpack Addison picked I got it 2 years ago from Amazon
I loved this. Great job everyone. Mindy chose well and all the young people did too. Hope that everyone has a blessed school year.
Glad Annavaeh stuck with the fast food one, she's getting older and doesn't need the pink girly one every year. You know no one else will have one!
I would donate the extra backpacks and supplies to foster kids.
It was so much fun watching them pick their backpacks. You make the simplest things so fun. Thank you.
It's really sweet that they know exactly their kids preferences.
Just love how much you can tell you all love each other
You may want to hang on to a couple in case someone loses theirs or it wears out! Fun video!!! I’m SO happy for Jacob…it is tough going last!
I thought the same
Jansport is the best! I have black one with leather bottom I bought in 1992 for college after I got out of the military and now use it as my carry-on when I travel, I will not fly without it. My lucky pack. Lol
@@chicamorena18 get one with a leather bottom, they all are good, but the leather I believe reinforces it since all the weight goes to the bottom.
I hope Braxton is happy with his! I hope he doesn't think he needs to get a plain one, he can always have a bright backpack!!
He can always change.
@@cynthiaandena3350 true!
I’m using my same backpack I’m used and bought last year for freshman year of college. Need to fix a few things but other wise still looks brand new!!
When I was younger though. That was a different story, wanted to get a new backpack every year.
My son would have picked the red one for sure. What a fun way to shop for backpacks.
Love you crazy middles family Jared Shelly thank you for sharing this video as the backpacks came in for the kids go back to school and I’m very happy that you included Addison I’m still praying for her that she’ll feel better soon love watching it love you all the all have a wonderful and blessed evening
She can use the shark for her dog like when you take trips it will match with her dogs blanket lol
Good idea! Perfect size for that.
Good idea.
Right perfect size I use a lil backpack for my dog she’s a morkie she knows it’s hers lol
I WAS just waiting for another back to school shopping! Omg
yes like that look around at all the bags before picking
Braxton is me when I’m trying to make a choice and I have so many options 😂😂
Shelly and Jared...
Your family is AWESOME! I can cook, clean, do laundry, babysit, and I'm in my 50's.... Can you please adopt me? LoL seriously tho... Love the way you run your family. You guys are always so fair and definitely show true love you have for each one of your kids! You both ROCK 👍👍👍
God Bless You All
love how the kids get all excited when someone brings in their backpack
That muticolor Adidas one was so cute, how did none of the girls pick it??
Hooray backpack day can’t wait to see which one each of them pick. Have a great and blessed day
Really enjoyed your two videos for back to school. I also love the fact that the boys don’t have their hair in their face. Keep up the good work Shelly and Jarod
I don’t need a gift, give it to someone else, really enjoy your family and videos.💕
They are so cute. Looks like they had fun. Hope she feels better soon. Big helpers. God bless.
Can you do a video of what grade each kid is and if they are doing public school or online?
You guys are a especially awesome family I love how you cheer each other on and I think it's really cool that nobody said wait that's my backpack and then fight over it the kids are so awesome and they encourage each other and are there for each other I hope Maddie feels better soon
Yes! I work in a hospital and they won't let us retest when we go back to work after testing positive and quarantine because you can test positive up to 3-4 months after your initial positive test.
Love the way they got to pick as it can be pressuring to have to choose in the store where there’s lots of people and other distractions.. they got the time to look and see what they wanted..
Fun vlog! The one Kasen picked would have been my pick if I was a kid in elementary school.
Loved it, it was so fun seeing you playing and choosing! You guys are sooo funny. I am glad everybody liked their backpacks.
Love watching you all ❤️♥️❤️
I really enjoyed the video.it was lovely seeing children pick out there backpack.
I absolutely love their content it makes me so happy 🥺
That was great fun🥰love how you make everything exciting, I was willing anaveah to pick that pink one you chose 🥰
Great shopping idea! No stress, no store, no second trip!
I love in how they are with all of the kids.
and they are such loving with others also ❤️😻
Broke my heart when Braxton didn't get the soccer backpack he wanted because he felt too much pressure to make his parents happy and do the right thing
Tell Addison I am still praying for her , and hi rest of the family. Wish I could visit to see what a great foster family is .I been In foster care since 12 year old until 2o. It wasn't that good. But kind of ok. But ya family is really beautiful and great.
Addison is now out of Isolation
Love y’all, y’all are amazing, give everyone a hugs for me . I hope Addison is feeling better soon .
Y'all are so cool I wish I could meet yall
Crazy middle family
Go water bottle shopping and back to
School supplies
Challenge there
Choices all types of
Water bottles
They get so happy. So fun to see them enjoy
I’d have picked the same one Addison picked. It looks Awsome even though it’s not my favourite colour.
What happen to last year's backpacks? My kids when in school used the same backpacks for at least two years. This was fun.
My daughter used the same backpack for years & it's still in good condition (she's now 22) my middle child (21) had one every few years but my 12yr old goes through about 3 EVERY YEAR!! XX
@@princess1king2 I remember when the kids got older we bought better more experience backpacks so they used them for a few years. Even going over to stay all night at someone's house and traveling.
@@lizregan1949 things just aren't made to last any more. It makes me & my youngest so mad. He's quite the little earth warrior bless him.
So MUCH BETTER than going to the store!!! 😊❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦
What a nice idea, I just love the way you organize things for them. This a great tip for parents with multiple kids.
That is good for you two to guess what you think the kids will pick. Sometimes you never know what they may change and like differently.
That was so fun! Throwing in the competition made it more exciting!! 😄
Instead of returning the ones people didnt choose you should take them to the place crazy pieces donated all those shoes to.
Where did you get all the backpacks from? I love the pink tye dye one and the one with stars
My summer break started today, it’s crazy to see you prepping for back to school already, but I love the videos!
Here in Canada 4 elementary finishes 24 juin.
Love watching your channel it brightens up my day 😀 😄 👍 😊
You should donate some of the ones that didn’t get picked to kids that can’t afford it
Was thinking the exact same thing. They could fill with the left over supplies and donate. We have a backpack drive in my area for kids whom’s families can’t get them. I also work in the school dist and ever year we have over 3500 kids whom are considered homeless (living in motels, cars, etc) it absolutely breaks my heart.

You always make everything so fun for the family. That was awesome to watch.
Yeah if I was there I would have picked the red Jordan backpack and I am a big fan of y'all
I have a question for
Jard and Shelley
I have a good ideas
For your whole family
Water bottle collection
Shopping day
I love The extra backpack that Aubrey chose
I’ve been watching for two years I love your videos
I’m loving jacobs recording skills!!!!
Can you guys please do a locker decoration for the kids who are in middle school by the way hope Addi gets better soon I'm also going into 8th grade 🥰🥰 I get so exited every time I see back to school videos love you guys hope you get better soon Addi 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It was really fun to play along with Shelly and Jared with my own guesses -- I managed to get a few points too lol!
It's fine you should do that every year I think the kids really enjoyed it.
What a fun game. I would of picked soccer or puma. But my 1rst pick is soccer. Well discussed Jared. Both of u make supers together. Ok I saw a comment forgot the shark. Love animals. If ot was a lot bigger 100% shark.
❤️ THIS VLOG! My youngest son is now 16. I can't to wait to take him shopping!
I love how they know all of their kids so well!
lol the way they all hyped eachother up no matter which backpack they picked
I love 💕 your videos and I also know that you all are a very good and loving family 💖
I had the exact same backpack Addison picked when I was in middle school haha. It's been like 8 years or so, crazy. I still use it from time to time, it's really durable
You can test positive for up to 90 days or more for some folks… that’s why re-testing isn’t recommended anymore after active infection 🥰
Great fun! I like the way you did this much better then in the store craziness!
A just love how they just love respect each other love all the bags hard choice there
Good morning everyone happy Saturday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing I'm proud to all of you guys and I loved your channel always
My grand boys all had LLBean backpacks all the way through high school and 2 of them through college!!!
That video was so entertaining 😍 loved the energy and the guessing was so much fun! 🎉🎊
This is one of my favorite vlogs!
I love in how they all are a very good and loving family 💖😇🙏
If $ isn’t a huge concern it would be pretty cool to donate the bags to either local schools or a foster care program….maybe toss in a few supplies as well. Every kid wants to start a new year off with some new things.
This was great fun I agree. I was picking too xx
