And They Are Off!

The kids left for school this morning, and the house is very quiet!  They were nervous but excited.  We are all anxious to hear about their first day, when they come home.  I drop them off at school every morning, and it worked out great today.  When you drive up to the school, they have it set up just like a normal valet.  When I drove up this morning, the teachers were waiting.  They opened the doors, said "Good Morning", the kids jumped out, the teacher shut all my doors, and said "Have a good day."  And I was off to go back home.  School starts at 7:55, so we planned on leaving around 7:30.  Everyone got up early to make sure we were ready.  At 6:30, the kids were already finishing breakfast and ready to brush their teeth! 

It is a big change for us all to have breakfast ready and lunches made and ready to go, first thing in the morning.  Dinner and bedtime will be a lot earlier now too.  It was a great decision though for them to go to school.  I am excited to be Mom not their teacher.  We are proud of what they have accomplished over the last year and know they will do well.  So, we are off to another new adventure with the kids!
