First Day of School

First Day of School.  I found this fantastic printable sign on Pinterest, of course.

 Apparently, Olivia was nervous?

 But Mimi was ever-enthusiastic.

 And for the first time in a long time, the girls needed jackets on the first day of school.  Kinda crazy.  Jackets in August.

 John decided if we were going to be replacing backpacks, we were going to replace them with something that would last.  However, my thriftiness wouldn't let us spend more than $20 on an elementary school backpack--Jansport or not.  So, the compromise is these identical plaid backpacks, the only Jansports we could find to fit the budget.  I cut out some vinyl initials to differentiate between the two.

 Good luck, girls!  You'll do great.
