The Yellow Bus

Now that we're settling in to the new school year a bit, we're letting the boys ride the bus to school.

No matter how many times I did this with Alex, I always find it a bit disconcerting to just walk two houses over, and then watch this giant yellow bus spirit them away for an entire day at school.

But I'm also really loving my quiet time at home after they leave. I actually get to spend an hour or so at home in peace and quiet. No bickering. No tv. No tears. No "Mommmyyyy!!!!" every five minutes.

Bliss.
