The kids head back to school this week. We had e
verything ready and my youngest wanted to use a bag instead of a backpack. Well, it didn't go well and she decided she wanted a backpack instead. So, we pulled out the packs we had and she looked at a few to see which would be best for her needs when I had an idea.

lastic painting table cloth. I put on her old paint shirt and away we went. She picked white, purple and red for the colors she wanted to use. The r

What a blessing we could find a way to use an old pack and make it fun for her and save me money buying a new one. She enjoyed her evening and I enjoyed seeing her so happy.
