I ❤ Faces: Back To School

It has been 3 years since someone in our family had a "first day" back to school. I have to say...YAY...to that because that means it has been 2 years since J finally graduated from his various graduate schools.

Not that J wouldn't mind going back to school for, oh, a 4th degree...but I am not hesitant in the least to admit that i am pleased HE is now the working one in our family! And, like they say, "Once a student, always a student (of life)"...right? Maybe I should be the one going back to school--seems like I need a bit of brushing up on colloquialisms.

Anyway, it will also be at least 4 years until we send our little Monkey off to school, too (and the thought of that is already making me a little sad) so, short of stalking someone's kids as they head into school, we don't have any recent back to school pics.

But that won't stop me from entering my fave weekly contest over at I ❤ Faces!

This week's theme is "Back to School"
{in case you hadn't figured that out!}

I thought that I could do a spin on the theme by posting a picture of my 5-year collegiate homecoming.

You know, when we went "Back to School"...

get it?

Turns out I left those pictures on a CD in Florida...
So I'm improvising yet again.

This picture is from when we were getting ready to take the monkey to her first Harvard v. Yale football game. Despite it not being a true homecoming, we definitely went back to J's most recent alma mater {in spirit} for that crucial and oh-so-fun game.

{I hope it counts!}

It, at the very least, put us in a very Back-To-School kind of Fall mood, which I love!

As always, be sure to head on over to I ❤ Faces to see more great pictures of kiddos and adults headed back to school!
