August 25, 2005 - Shiny Bus
Today is the first day of school for Claire (8th)and Emma (5th). 
It’s always an exciting day for them to start the year. Emma was one of those sad kids without proper shoes. Her shoes dissassembled during the school day - so there she is, first day of school (when your shoes should be new) without shoes that work. We had purchased new ones for Claire the night before.
A brand new shiny school bus brought them to school.
Martin said he wanted to go to school with the girls, but Mom told him he’d have to learn his ABCs before he could go, so he then rattled them off for Mom.
