I loved shopping, except when I couldn't find just the right outfits. But when I finally did, I got really excited.
With all 7 of us the weekend before school started, we would put on a
Back-2-School Fashion Show!

It was very simple. (Although each year I had grand visions of extending it to our neighborhood friends. I was weird sort of a child you could say. I did have fun. I was just all about planning events even at a young age.)

Anyways, the girls would go in one room for a dressing room and the boys in the other. Then one at a time, my patient parents would sit on the couch in the family room and watch us come out modeling our new outfits in every possible combination we could think of. It was a lot of fun and it helped us get very excited for school to start.
Love this idea! I always loved back to school shopping and you had to make sure and look just right for the first day of school!
