Off to School

Today was our typical Monday morning. The boys got up, got ready for school and were almost out the door. Until I realized that we had a flat tire. I called my neighbor and she said that she would take them to school.

Normally, I drive my boys and some of the other kids in the neighborhood, but today the boys walked down a few houses to catch their ride. Watching them walk there together made me smile. They left the house with smiles on their faces and a skip in their step. They ran down the sidewalk skipping (sort of skipping. Our family is seriously rhythm-challenged, so it ends up looking more like a run/seizure/skip thing) and pumping their fists up and down in the air. They were just so happy to be outside, going to a friends house and getting to go to school. It made me happy just watching them. Oh, to be young and excited for school again!
