Misty said...My son (going into 5th grade) has decided that he is "too old" for a character backpack. He would love this! My absolute favorite lunchbox growing up was a metal Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox that I'm pretty sure came from a garage sale. I was certainly the only girl in my class that carried one like that!

Mischelle Turi said...I had a favorite bookbag when I was in grammar school - it looked like a grown-up's briefcase and I loved it because it made feel like I was a grown-up going to my job at "the office" (wherever that was) instead of a kid going to school !
