Backpacks packed....check, Lunches made...check, School bus tires screeching 'round the corner....PRICELESS!!!!!











So, it's Wednesday, Sept 9th and it is the first day of school. My baby is now going to middle school!! His bus was scheduled for 7:12 a.m. but the school requested that he be at the bus stop by 7 a.m. to account for the new busing schedule. I told him that I would wait with him at the stop until the bus acutally arrived....but....NNNNOOOOOO! That was never going to happen...."But Nicholas" I said...."Just let me sit in the car across the street so that I know you got on safely" and again, I got a huge NNNNOOOOOO! With my sad look on my face, he relented and said "OK...as long as you don't look at me or wave goodbye to me"...."Deal" I said...and so, I sat down the block in my car wathching my 'baby' get on the bus for Middle School...where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday when we were walking him into pre-school with his little dinasour name tag that said "MY NAME IS NICHOLAS"....God do I feel old :( .........then it was time for the elementary school bus. This bus comes at a more decent hour of 8:50 a.m. I went to work a little late so that I could send my boys off with a warm mommy wave....and a small jig in the middle of the street...ha ha ha!!! Kevin is going into 6th grade and will be the kids who "rule the school" as I am told! John and Ryan are going into fourth grade. Needless to say, they were all very excited about today....Hope it's a great year boys!!
