all three boys started school today with big smiles on their faces...colin had a hard time falling asleep last night - he was so excited - and of course his new sponge bob alarm clock didn't go off this morning and he started the day off a little sad...we'll try again tomorrow...the bus stop reflects this town-growing every year...at least 10 kids at our stop alone...colin was so excited to get on the bus and climb those big tall steps...he never looked back...i could see him almost at the back of the bus sitting with justin as they pulled away...such a bittersweet moment for me...steve stayed home for awhile this morning, knowing how hard it was for me to watch curly fly the nest...and now the house is just way to quiet now...errie quiet...today i'm just staying home, just in case... 
on a fun note, we had the 2nd annual outdoor movie night on saturday night and we watched cars then night at the museum...it was the perfect night outside-warm with a slight breeze...all the kids camped out on rachael and brandons driveway and the parents made camp on our side and stuffed our faces with delicious snacks while the kids ate hot dogs/watermelon and popcorn...just a fun night...we spent all day saturday running back to school errands and sunday we went grocery shopping, swimming and finished our summer vacation with cheeseburgers on the grill...heres to new days/new routines/new schedules...
ps. guess what we volunteered to bring ?? how cool are these...
