That's right 7:30am that big yellow child stealer came and took my two older babies away (they're 12 & 13 years old). I don't care how old they are, I still get misty eyed when that bus pulls away. 
And if that wasn't bad enough Marissa started kindergarten today. We only have 1/2 days here and she didn't go until 12:30. I took pictures of her "first day of school" before we walked down to meet the bus, and good thing I did because when that bus pulled up, she pulled me across the street, threw down my hand and hopped on that bus so fast I didn't even get a glimpse of her cute little face.
So there I am, "kicked to the curb" by my own daughter, tears overflowing my eyes, when I look up at the big burly(sp) bus driver and say (through my tears) "ummm... would you mind if we waited until you turn around at the end of the street to get picked up so we won't have to be out here in the colder weather?"
And guess what he said? "Whatever you want ma'am, whatever makes you happy, that's no problem, no problem at all."
LOL! The poor guy!!! Having to deal with me on a day like today. I feel so bad! LOL!
So I thought I could spend the afternoon playing with Andrew but he decided to take a nap.
Ohhh well.... only 1/2 hour until the boys come home and the silence is shattered once again...... How I miss all the noise. Yeah.... I should be yelling at them to be quiet 15 minutes after they're home. ;D There has to be a happy medium somewhere.

Never heard it put that way before, will have to remember that 
Truly seems like yesterday she started Kindy. Chris starts in 9 days and although I am looking forward to seeing the "big yellow child stealer" show up
