Just for fun, I thought I would share this photo of us on Ruthanne's first day of 2nd grade and my first day of 5th grade. My friend who lived next door, Emily Jones, is in the green. Of course we are all sporting the famous rolled socks, because it was "the look" back then. :) 
This was the first day of school the year before. We took a summer sewing class and made these outfits and the bags ourselves. I think they're pretty rad. Don't laugh too hard at my puffy bangs or my gigantic hair scunchie!
I love you, sis! You're going to do great next week!

You were rockin!!
I love the Jessica Seinfeld cookbook... Genius.
That first day of fifth grade was a very prolific day in your life. You met ME that day! And despite the curtain of bangs and the sock/sandal combination, I decided to be your friend. Or, more accurately, you saw that the new girl still hadn't made a friend in the first three weeks of school and you took pity on me. Whatever. Yea Ruthanne! Tell her congratulations for me.
You guys look darling and I do have to say, I don't miss the 80's fashion. Way to go for sewing your own clothes though, that is pretty sweet.
My mom is a 3rd grade teacher, so I LOVE teachers! Hope she has a good first day.
By the way, I think those outfits and bags are pretty awesome. And Catherine, your bangs rocked!! :)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....... I still can't stop laughing at those pictures.... go 80's/early 90's... :)
Gotta love it! Why aren't those styles still popular?
Ahhh come on Catherine, those bangs are HOT! And you're clothes are totally rad....I'm jealous!
Love the rolled socks, I am totally guilty too! We would even wear two pairs so when you rolled then down the bottom layer would show on your ankle and the other color (top) sock would show on your foot. Fashionistas, baby! Hehe...
Good luck to your sister! I'm sure she was glad to have your advice!
Oh, of course I am also guilty of the huge bangs (I was way into Little Mermaid so I brushed mine side-swept and called them 'Ariel Bangs') and scrunchies. Wow... good times!
Not a bad idea, we should totally get together and hang out...you guys willing to come to Provo cause since I went to St. George last weekend my giant belly and I aren't so excited about long drives.... haha
Wow! What a flashback! Love the bangs bangs!!! Congrats to your sis! That's great!
Don't worry about it, it's totally understandable. It was kind of hot and I think the kids would have gotten kind of grumpy really fast. We'll see you this weekend-ish!
So cute! I remember the double rolled socks and the poofy bangs as well!
Oh, for FUNNY! I love pics, showing the era we grew up in, what great memories! So, I am not sure on how to do everything yet, but you know, it will come with some experience. I also enjoyed your most recent post, made me cry. I hope my email helped cheer you up a bit. Yes, post me on your blog, I would LOVE that! Most of the bags are brown with turquoise or brown with pink. there are two that are black and white though. I totally want to send you a bag for being such an awesome friend and giving me those discount tickets, that really made a difference, Thank YOU! So which bag is your favorite?
