If you are the schooling type, it's getting to be that time of year again. The aisles at Target are full of new pencils and clean, lined notebooks. I love the smell of school supplies in the morning! I thought I'd share with you some pictures of me from the first day of first grade. The year was 1983.
Aren't we all so cute? Sadly, I know that at least one of the people in this photo is dead. It sucks getting old.
How much do you think that Smurf lunchbox would fetch now? Sigh.
You are very cute. I had that same lunch box. Wish I still had it.
ReplyDeleteit is nice to say wardrobes of the old days... it is so cute

LOVE those lunchboxes! I'm pretty sure I had a Smurf box, too -- though I think mine was the type at had the thermos at the top. Then I graduated to a Strawberry Shortcake metal box. That metal Sesame Street one is awesome, too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Especially the lunch box.
ReplyDeleteFor the next Wardrobe Wednesday, Violet should wear that EXACT same outfit. Oh, and you too.
Aw! You look just like Laura Ingalls Wilder/Melissa Gilbert. And you are not dead! So it's a win.
ReplyDeleteMy mom just went to her 40 year high school class reunion and she said something like over 20 people in her graduating class are now deceased. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat is one bitchin' lunchbox!
My children are STILL walking around with my Care Bears lunch box. Mine is metal though, and likely to give them tetanus. The Smurfs are clearly superior *and* safer. (You know that they're making a Smurf movie right now, right?)
ReplyDeleteYeah, if we had kept our Smurf lunch boxes, we would all be rich!
ReplyDeleteI graduated in 1983. Man I feel old.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! I loved my Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox...
ReplyDeleteI had that Smurf lunchbox! And my brother had the Sesame Street lunchbox that the little readhead on the left is holding. We must be the exact same age. I also started first grade in 1983.
ReplyDeleteEr, that would be "redhead." I really can spell, honestly!
ReplyDeleteI was also reminded of my metal Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox. I left it behind the car one morning as my mom was pulling out of the garage, and needless to say it was destroyed. I think my Smurf lunchbox was actually a replacement for that one.
