I have always been a school supply nerd - it was like Christmas when my mom brought home bags and bags of school supplies and we got to pick out what we wanted.

My sons will LOVE this Crayola Set *fingers crossed*

Ohhhh...you're right...new craft stuff is so much fun! I have a preschool who could go to town with that stuff.
My favorite thing about going back to school was always unpacking my backpack filled with new supplies into my desk that my teacher had already labeled with my name. I loved getting organized in my seat on the first day and loved finding out who I would sit next to :)

My favorite memory is when my Grandma came to buy us back-to-school outfits. We got to pic out whatever we wanted with reckless abandon. That was never something we could have afforded. That year I started out school with cool outfits. I felt pretty sharp!

KellyH said...

My favorite memory is seeing my friends, that lived out in the country, after not seeing them much during the summer.

Thanks!

My favorite memory is the first day back to school and all the anticipation and excitement. I rode the bus and it was just a sense of renewal walking to the bus and walking back into school on that first day. :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite back go school memory is my grandma making home made bread for her grand kids on their first day of school. She only made it once a year, so it was such a treat! Thanks for the chance to win!

This isn't exactly a "favorite" back to school memory but I remember when I started Kindergarten my mom had to put me in a line so we could march off to our classroom. I cried the whole time because I didn't want to leave her!

There is just something so exciting about going back to school shopping... the new paper just waiting to be written on, the crisp colorful folders, the perfectly sharpened colored pencils, and of course, the new clothes! I used to love to go back to school shopping with my mom- it never failed to get my excited about the new school year!

It was kindergarten when I took the school bus home! I was so excited! My mom spent an hour looking for me and the bus driver kept saying where do you live? I lived a block from the school and was considered a walker. The bus didn't go in my neighborhood since it took me less than 5 mintues to get home. I just wanted to ride the school bus! My mom still tells everyone the story!

Jenn said...

My favorite back to school memories are school shopping with my mom, trying on my new clothes and deciding what to wear the first day.

My favorite thing to do was get everything ready the night before. New clothes, new bag, all the supplies. It also seemed like the only day of the year that I woke up on time was the first day! Thank you!

Lisa said...

I know that this wouldn't be my "favorite" first day of school memory, but definitely the most memorable. Here I was on my first day of 5th grade, with my new outfit, new coat, and new backpack. I had just gotten up to give something to the teacher. I had my coat hanging on the back of my desk chair. The boy sitting behind me threw up and my coat was covered. The entire class was "ewwing", I turned around to the scene and was devastated! I had my backpack hanging on the back of my chair as well, but had just taken it off to get a pen out and had left it laying on the floor near the front of my desk. I refused to take my coat home. The teacher even offered to take it home and he would get his wife to wash it and bring it back. That wouldn't do either. My mom took me back out and we got a new one that evening.

Mine is my 2nd grade teacher. i don't remember her name, but i'll never forget how beautiful i thought she was. She looked like my Barbie - literally, with big blue eyes, long flowing blonde hair and always a smile on her face (how i loved her!). Anyway, one day i was stunned to run into her when my family took me to Kmart -- teachers shop?!? And they don't live at the schoo, and eat the same food i do? They can wear blue jeans? :)

But to this day (28 years later), i can remember her beauty and i still love her. She's probably in her mid-50's now.

Since I went to catholic school and there was no new school clothes to look for, we really loved showing our indivuality thru our school supplies. It wasn't always easy with 5 girls for my parens and paying for private school. So we didn't always get the newest styles, but I remember one year (sophmore year) that my parents got me a Jansport backpack. I still have that backpack today and still use it...15 years later. So that is definitely my favorite memory.

Thanks for the cool giveaway!

I used to love to shop for school supplies and school clothes when I was growing up! The hustle and bustle in the stores - it was so exciting! Right up until the bus pulled up and then I would get butterflies in my stomach!

I taught for several years before I had children. Then the month I was due with my daughter, August, I found myself standing, very pregnant, in the school supply aisle weeping. I sniffed every package of post-its! Yes, I longed for the school supplies! This week my daugher who I was pregnant with at that time starts preschool...I am taking her school shopping this week! I cannot wait. I know this will trump any childhood memory of mine! Long live back to school shopping!

When I was in Kindergarten my family lived in Hawaii and my dad worked in a lab on a small private island just off Oahu. He used to take me to school and pick me up every day by a little motor boat, then by bike. I loved it and even though I don't remember a lot of my childhood, I don't think I could ever forget that.

Back to school was always my favorite time of year! I LOVED going school clothes shopping! I would lay my outfit for the first day out a week in advance! It was always a rule at our house that NOTHING could be worn until that first day! It was so exciting to put on new clothes, shoes, ect. I am a teacher now and still feel that way when I buy clothes for school! THanks for the great give-away!
