New School for the Kids

Jonathan, Hannah and Joshua already have a few days under their belt by the time I got to posting this. So far it seems like a non event for the kids. For mom, it was a little teary eyed watching the kids go off so independently and Beppe cried too because it brought back memories of eight kids getting on the bus with their lunch buckets.

The bus driver is the same lady who let me off the hook in 6th grade when I hit a kid from behind with a science book on top his head. She talked to me when we pulled up to our house and said, "He probably deserved it." To which I agreed by shaking my head and quickly got off the bus. What a nice bus driver I thought! I wouldn't suggest the kids do this because they are on the bus with all the high school kids from Sully. The kids walk up the lane in the morning and get picked up around 7:20 a.m. and get dropped off at the house by 4:20 p.m.

The twins will be doing band this year so I will have to make a trip to Reiman's (before this store was practically in our back yard now we will have to drive a little ways). We also had to buy tennis shoes for Jonathan since we realized he didn't have ones this summer since sandals were the shoe of choice. Hannah with her long legs is having trouble meeting the dress code and now isn't the time of year to go shopping for that. Capri's will have to due until next year. Joshua is thinking that his teacher talks a lot and it is hard for him to get any words in. He said, " I have to raise my hand and wait, and wait and wait." I would love to be a mouse on both the bus and in their classroom to observe how things are going, but I'm very thankful with the no complaints when they come home. by Susie
