Getting Ready for School

Yes we are getting ready for Olivia to go to PreK. On Saturday I ordered a backpack from L.L. Bean because it was what I had while in High School and I still have that backpack to this day. It's still used to this day and then I got another one for College a couple years ago for around $15 at Christmas time and I love it. I do still use that one for running out of town and what not. This year Olivia wanted a Pink backpack and I had her name monogrammed onto it. I was sitting there thinking what size I should get her and decided that it will be the Junior Original Backpack which is made specifically for ages 4-7 and after reading the reviews on it decided that was the best one. So many people have raved about it and I too got one so I'm hoping that it should last her from PreK to 1st grade and then we will get another to last her to 5th grade...I hope. If not then we'll get her a larger one for 4th grade. We will see at that point. Oh yeah I just got an email from L.L. Bean saying that the backpack has been shipped. Yeah!!!!I have to first get Olivia through PreK and Kindergarten. The picture above is just like the backpack we got only it will have Olivia written on it.

Also for those of you who live in NC and have children who are in school what is the normal amount of time to where we get the information on what is needed for school?
