First Day of School and a CAS card!

Today I made this for the CAS challenge over on SCS.  You can check it out HERE.  Today was the first day of school for my boys.  Will is in third grade and was too cool to get his picture taken, and Max and Luke boarded the bus for pre-school.  Max has some developmental delays, so they are going to pre-school in our school district.  He will receive speech, occupational and physical therapy during his day.  They provide busing for the special needs pre-school kids so I put my 3 year old little guys on the bus for the first time today.  I was so proud, sad, and excited all at once.  Proud that I am still sane after raising twins to the age of three, sad that my babies are going to school, and a little excited that I will have 4 hours of ME time 5 days a week!  Just like this card, my life became a little cleaner (lack of all three boys in my house for 4 hours a day!) and simpler, because I can do whatever I want in the afternoons now!  CRAZY!

I had to share this photo of them getting on the bus together!  I LOVE it!  I cried like a baby the minute they couldn't see me waving.  They were all smiles and excited for their new adventure.
