The End of Summer.

It's that time of year again. School has begun...and every morning I send these guys off to THREE different schools.

 High School. Junior High. Elementary.

School . . .YAY!

I'm pretty excited for school this year...yup...I have alot of projects to be done...and now I have time. However, the best part....my bff quit her job...and I have plans.

Flag Ceremony....and total chaos....

k...so we're finally at the school now...we find Tanner has made it in line behind his teacher...Jackson...not so much...um....he's lost apparently...so...his big brother got off the bus and took off...so Jackson wandered...he didn't know who to look for...as his teacher is new this year...so no visual...and he can't read...yet...so...Eric wandered to try to find him....me...I'm no good in moments like these...yup...I stood there like a complete idiot...but guess who found him...well actually he found me...this nice lady was wandering with him...to help him find his teacher...after a short break down...he was fine...and then so was I...we took him to meet his teacher....and guess what...yup...she's cute...so he's all good.....

Bust Stop Etiquette....

Yup...there is proper rules at the bus stop...first...you arrive at least 30 minutes early...to be first in line...and no you don't stand there for half an hour...you put your backpack in line...to save your place of course...so you can be free to run and jump around like wild hooligans....unless..of course...you use your backpack as a weapon...then you risk being last in line to get on the bus....

Muffins and Juice....at the Bus Stop...it's tradition...

So every year we have muffins and juice at the bus stop on the first day of school...then we wait for the bus to pick up the kids...then the parents get in their cars...and follow the bus to school for the flag ceremony....interesting side note...the bus stop isn't as crowded this year...our subdivision has been cut in half...so now....two bus stops for Hunters Creek...maybe no backpack fights this year...I can hope can't I?....

First Day of School!...

The Eve Before School.....

So it's the evening before school...and Kaitlyn is a bundle of nerves...and the boys...are just realizing...whaaa???...the summers over?...me...I can't stop dancing and singing....I'M FREE...yup...that would be FREE...my mom...Tami...and I...will be filling our days with much needed adult socialness..is that even a word...who cares..we're doin' it...and my across the street neighbor is jealous...ya...I'm cool....
