For every quintessential first day of school photo posted on Facebook or Instagram, there are 50 other photos of that same kid looking less than thrilled about his/her upcoming school year.
Case in point. Harlow’s first day of school was this morning and she refused to put her sign lower than her face. I ended up taking the sign with us on our walk to school and tried again later on the street.
She got it about halfway down.
I asked you guys to submit your back to school bloopers for the chance to win a $250 Amex gift card and a prize pack from Mini Babybel. As I suspected, the outtakes tell a much truer story than the photos that made it to Instagram.

Even if your kids were sad when they left for school, you’ve got the perfect opportunity to make them smile and remind them of home the second they open their lunchbox.
Mini Babybel is 100% natural cheese and perfectly portioned making it a great choice for an easy, packable lunchbox addition or snack. It comes in seven different rich and creamy flavors— from classic Original to smooth Mozzarella style, each with at least 4 grams of protein and 15% of your daily calcium needs. All for 70 calories or less.
But the best part of Mini Babybel has to be the pull tab and the red wax casing. Kids don’t just love eating it, they love unwrapping it.
I admit, I love unwrapping it too.
I hope everyone’s kids have a great year ahead of them with a lot more opportunities to “say cheese”. Class photos are right around the corner and you don’t want them to mess those up like they did last year!

The kid who can’t stop showing off his nipple might be my favorite. That seems like something my son would do haha

As you can see I have been updating previous guides along with new ones as fast as I can in the new format. With the amount of variables in the armor and no hard listed stats for each plate there will be some mistakes and I will correct them over time.Nobody is forcing you to come here and I simply do this for my own enjoyment of helping others.
There is little doubt that the mahounds are using the system itself to bring down the kufr and their hated democracy to replace it with their own divine law the mahound himself. Interesting that they use the same MO wherever they settle. I wish we could find a way to use that against them.
LOL! This pictues are fabulous and what a fun thing to do 🙂 Good on you! Carpe Diem and live it to the fullest. Way to ask people to post too – you got some great shots 🙂
Thank you so much for this. My 10 year old has devoted hours every day to studying and memorizing, sometimes willingly and sometimes not. We talked tonight about how we have already won. I am going to share this with her in the morning.
