First Day of School, x3


This year we've got three at the same school, that won't happen again for another 2 years.  It was an exciting morning, made even more exciting by the fact that I had physical therapy from 6:30 until 7:30.  I put together all but the sandwiches in their lunches, leaving that and breakfast for Eric to handle. 

I made it back in time to fix Eme's hair, I wasn't going to leave that to Eric-I doubt he'd have even brushed it out.  The kids had all picked out their outfits weeks in advance, which made the getting dressed part go smoothly.

I walked the kids to school, as is our tradition, which was probably not the best idea for me 3 weeks post-op, even though the school is just under a half mile away.  But I survived it anyway.

Once there, we fought our way through the teaming masses of parents. I gave everyone a hug and kiss at the gate, sent Aidan on (he's in 6th grade, I shouldn't have to walk him to his line), found Eme's line-dropped her off, found Davin's line-dropped him off, and made my way back to the front. I paused just long enough to give Eme one last encouraging smile, and Maddie and I headed home.

They all came home hot and tired afterschool to some cookies Maddie and I made them.  It was a little odd just having Maddie around, but I think we'll enjoy our time together nicely.
