you can't say she isn't prepared

I am guessing that Haley is not going to have to carry around EVERYTHING under the sun in her backpack at her new school.  So I thought I would get a picture of her with her "turtle" pack (as I lovingly refer to it), since her days of carrying it around are numbered (I hope).  She has a locker, so she doesn't have to do this.  She just feels like she might forget something.  So, for the past five years she has been carrying around the entire contents of her locker in her backpack.  I swear that thing weighs 30+ pounds!  Here she is this morning, ready to go!  She has her enormous backpack (that weighs more than she does), her lunch, and two number twos, sharpened and ready for action!!  Haley, you're incredible!  Besides all of this, you look fantastic!
P.S.  She has been using this same backpack since first grade!  She should get an award for that!

And what's really funny, is she has to stand at about a 10 degree forward lean to offset the weight of that monstrosity!! And she does look great! She may have to start exercising because whe won't have that backpack to help her. Maybe as soon as we move to AZ, we should plan a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon before she's not used to carrying that kind of weight!!!
