Back to It

And by it, I mean school.  Today was the kids’ first day.  Everyone got up and on their way pretty easily actually.  Even Sam who rides a bus all on his own this year.  Caroline goes to her own new school and the two older boys are both at middle school.  Again this year, four kids, three schools. 

Next year, four kids, four schools.  Aye yi yi.

All I wanted this morning was a simple picture of the two middle school boys, but Grant was too busy with the cat to pose.  Then Jack gave up posing, so this is what I got.  Grant’s saying, “This sun is too bright.”

 

Then there’s Grant bringing up the rear because stopping to play with the cat again. 

Jack has no time to waste.  He’s all about getting to school to learn, learn, learn.  He’s practicing his spelling and grammar on his phone all the time. 

K!  C U @ schooooool!!

Then ding, ding, it’s Round Two for bus stop with Sam and Caroline getting on the next hour.

 

Someone loves her new backpack.

It is only half the size of her whole body.

 

And just look at this big guy.

Kinda makes me think of…

But first, a little play time.  What a beautiful morning!

 

Then they’re off to the bus stop.  It’s a quarter mile away.

And look who has to stop and play with the cat.  I swear those boys ARE twins, just four years apart.

 

*PS*  Grant and Jack are back home already as I type.  Grant says he is not going back tomorrow because they will be dissecting frogs and worms.  And not tomorrow but later in 6th grade, but still he is not going tomorrow.
