More Pics from the first day of school

These are back from last Tuesday, when I picked the kiddos up. 

I picked up Joanna first (since I knew I wouldn’t be disrupting a nap), but I didn’t actually take any pictures of her.

If you stand real far back from your computer, this doesn’t look so blurry.  :)  But it was the best I got, and I love her sweet little self laying on the nap mat.

Then I picked up James!  (FYI, getting there ten minutes early is not enough time to pick up four kids.)  James was the last one in his class – sorry teachers; I’ll do better tomorrow!

Then I grabbed Ray and we headed to the car.  I’m pretty sure this whole process took me thirty minutes.  The place was deserted when I left.

I have a few ideas to streamline the process:

-Pick up in this order: Ray, James, Joanna, Natalie.  Natalie takes the longest I think because of the nap mat.  She’s still laying on it, and I have to go in, get her, roll up the thing, then leave.  So I shall save the longest for last.

-talk to no one.  :)  Umm… yeah, right. 

-I’m going to try to be there at 2:15 and see if I can get it all done.  I really don’t want to leave my house earlier than 2:00 (if I’m at home).  If I’m subbing, they’ll all be the last ones picked up anyway!
