School

For the 1st time in months, I drank my morning coffee without interruption. I showered without hearing 'Mom!'. And I will be going to the grocery store alone.
Yup, it is the 1st day of school here. The boys enjoyed a last lazy day yesterday, while I finished getting all the school stuff done:

And just like that the 1st day of school has started.
