First Day of School

"But that's my lunch box!" "No I can't find my other shoe!" "Where is the toothpaste?" "How do I know that she doesn't need me to bring all the pencils on the first day of school?"
"Can we just get outside so we're on time guys??????"

Ahhhh, the first day of school. The familiar hustle and bustle of getting three kids out the door was such a challenge last year that I welcomed summer with open arms. And somehow it snuck up on me again. This time I was really excited though as today was a milestone. All four of my children are school age!!! However, you'll notice, only three went to school that day as Elli had a horrible ear infection that with the CDA pandemonium of H1N1 meant she was staying behind :(
