The countdown is on. Mazzy has 6 days to her first day of school and Harlow has 9 days. Last week, I talked about how silly it was that so much of the country goes back to school mid-August but then people were like, “We might be silly but we get to vacation in May and June before it gets unbearably hot.”

Touché, my Southern and Western friends. Touché.

I asked everyone to submit their kid’s class pictures so I could create the mini version of Senior Yearbook Superlatives. Not only would you have your kid’s picture judged and captioned on the web forever, you’d get the chance to win a $250 Amex gift card and a large supply of Mini Babybel cheese to stick in your preschooler’s lunchbox!

Congratulations! You get to take home a $250 Amex gift card and more Mini Babybel cheese than you can reasonably eat in a week. Well, that might not be true because if you are anything like my family, you can put down A LOT of Mini Babybel.

Mini Babybel is 100% natural cheese which comes in seven different rich and creamy flavors— from classic Original to smooth Mozzarella style. Each serving delivers at least 4 grams of protein and 15% of your daily calcium needs – all for 70 calories or less. (See nutrition information for fat and saturated fat content.)

But the best part of Mini Babybel has to be the pull tab and the wax casing. If you ever want to occupy a toddler and work on her fine motor skills— having her open a Mini Babybel cheese is the way to do it. Harlow would open them all day long if I let her.

Not only is the packaging fun, it makes Mini Babybel a perfect choice for an easy, packable lunchbox addition or snack.

If you did not win this contest, no worries— you have one more chance!

Post your funniest first day of school outtakes for the chance to win another $250 gift card and a supply of Mini Babybel cheese.

I’m not talking about the perfect first day of school photo you posted on facebook for all your friends to see. I’m talking about the one you were about to delete because your kid was holding onto a tree for dear life so you wouldn’t make him take the bus.

Something like this:

Post your photos on the Mommy Shorts facebook page or on Instagram tagging #backtoschoolbloopers and @mommyshorts. I’ll post my favorites next week and name the winner!
