First Day of School...

     Today started the first day of school for many.  Many children got up early,  put on brand new outfits, filled brand new lunch pails, and filled brand new backpacks with pencils, folders, crayons, glue, emergency cards, etc.  Then they went out to the bus stop and waited for the big yellow bus to pick them up.  They met new teachers, new "friends", and were introduced to new routines.  Their days were full.  When that last bell rang, they gathered their new books, backpacks, and coats and lined up at the classroom door for the bus to take them back home.

      Today, our children were on their 6th day of school.  Their routines were familiar ones.  They got up early and got dressed.  Hubby gave K a ride to volleyball practice, and the rest of them gathered at the table for breakfast.  We prayed, and then ate breakfast together.  After breakfast, school began.  They had the same "old" teacher :).  They chose where to work on assignments...

     Their day was full!  There was no "last bell", no packing of backpacks, no standing in line at the classroom door.  There was no big yellow bus.  They were already home, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
