The older three kids are back to school today after a three day weekend. So how about another flashback from Maggie’s first day of school? Maggie goes to school every day while the boys alternate between in person and at home learning.

What else would I make for her first day of 2nd grade but a #2 pencil dress?

She wanted to be sure I got a picture of her pink nails.

“Let’s pretend I missed the bus and I hafta run to school.”

Of course a dress this special had to have pockets.

I love how she dotted the “i” of her name with a heart.

Thankfully, her teacher is super nice because I learned later that this dress shed glitter everywhere. Oops.

Also – I really need to work on my bow tying skills.

Mags was super excited about her new leopard print backpack with its matching lunchbox.

And it wouldn’t be the first day of school during a global pandemic without the obligatory mask photo.

She loves her new school and her teacher and has been having a fantastic year.
