First day of school

Well, its official. My babies are in third grade. Their alarms went off at 6:15am. Larissa came bouncing downstairs at 6:20, fully dressed, including shoes. Will, on the other hand, took quite a bit of coaxing. Still it was much easier than I had planned. The first week is usually easier than the second as they are excited. After breakfast, we took our traditional “first day” pictures and we practiced getting out of the car with the heavy bookbags. I did not walk them in this morning. I just drove up and dumped them out. I pray they found their classrooms okay since they went in thru a different door. I think I took them too early. I was trying to avoid the long lines and I definitely succeeded. I’ll leave a few minutes later tomorrow.

The house is quiet and I am already missing my gang. I think I’ll have a batch of cookies ready for them when they get home. Doesn’t that sound like a Leave It To Beaver episode?
