Which is nothing more than a testament to how old I am, right? No preschoolers in the house? No Kindergartners in the house? As Kathryn says, only "real" elementary school kids (don't tell Nora and Anna she said that) in our house.
MOST school supplies were purchased in the states, thankfully, because unless you want to drive all over, some are hard to find. Like, um, 3-hole-punch notebook paper. But I digress.
The boys were "thrilled" to be back at school, but seeing old friends from last year helped. We drove to school in no time, there being no traffic these days, and got each one settled in the right place.
Kathryn, so confident and happy, a little nervous, once again decreed she was riding the bus to school on the first day. She would find her way around the new middle school. "Have your phone on" I told her. "I'll call and find you after I drop the boys off. "Nope. She wouldn't have it. Called me from the middle school and said "Don't come! I have to go! Class is starting!" Do you know where you are supposed to go? "YES, Mom! I gotta go!"
Such a grown-up girl. Sometimes I feel like I don't know her at all.
