First Day Of School August 22, 2011

Our first day of school, August 22, 2011.  We had a great first day of school.  Brett had come home at 2 in the morning from a business trip and the boys started their day at five something!  They were all so excited to wear their new clothes, eat the cinnamon rolls I made for breakfast and visit with their dad.  When I went out to bike with the kids to school my bikes tires were flat flat FLAT.  So they went on ahead while I tried to inflate them, then gave up and went in the minivan.  They were to the doors of the school by the time I caught up with them.  Bryant came home thrilled with class and teacher and talked nonstop all afternoon about everything.  May was still not happy that her friend wasn't in her class and said they spent a long time outside in the heat for PE.  Emma caught a ride to school with Brett and was immediately swept up by friends.  So quickly that neither Brett nor I got a chance to reiterate that she was to take the bus home.  Thankfully, she got on the bus and made it home but I spent a half an hour going in and out the front door looking for her.  She had much better color coming home than going!  And, because it's Florida they all came home talking of Hurricane Irene that is threatening the FL coast this week....lovely.
