Let the countdown begin...

My baby will be in 1st grade in three weeks! We got her teacher letter and supply list a few weeks ago, so we have picked up some things here and there. Grandma ordered her a new backpack, she hasn't had a new one since she was 2 when I found a Pottery Barn one on eBay with her name on it. It has survived 3 years of preschool and kindergarten. It is still in great shape, even after being dragged on and off the bus and having to be washed a million times last year. We let her pick out a new lunch box at the PB outlet this weekend, her Thirty-one lunch tote has seen better days! Surprisingly she chose a yellow and aqua bag, even though she got a pink backpack and swore they needed to match just a few days ago. Girls!
I have begun to go through her clothes and see what I need to purchase. A lot of her clothes were purchased and worn for the last two years, so they are too small or worn out. It is very difficult to find clothes for her, so I will probably spend the next few months buying things here and there versus going out and buying it all at once. I am hoping to hit a few resale shops and go from there. I am also hoping it stays warm until at least mid October as she has a ton of dresses she can wear until it gets cold.
Some school supplies!
Working on cleaning up her room, starting with her books.
Using the guest room to go through all her clothes--good thing my parents aren't coming for another couple of weeks!
