First Bus Ride



So, the first day of school we waited for the bus, and waited, and waited. It didn't show up and it was getting late so I drove them to school. But by the second day things were a little smoother so they got to ride the bus and loved it. I don't know what it is about a bus that is so appealing to little ones. Anyhow, the first week, they loaded up onto the bus and then Eva and I got in the car and would be at the school waiting for them when the bus arrived to let them off. Then I could walk them to breakfast and to their classes and make sure everyone knew where to go. They did great and got the hang of it really quick. Now Eva gets to sleep in and I just say good-bye at the end of the street! So here they are waiting for the bus (the second day) and climbing on. I can't believe I am old enough to have kids that ride a bus.

  1. I feel the pain of oldness too! Conrad just earned his wittleinf chip in cub scout and thinks he needs a pocket knife! I think he will just cut off his fingers!
    WOW, Jack looks so much older than the last time I came to visit! They all are getting so tall, just like their parents! No shorties in your group!

  2. I love that you hopped in your car and followed the bus to school. That thought never even occured to me. How fun for the kids. I love having school back in session. It's awesome to see what ideas and new bits of knowledge they come home with. Miss you guys.
