An Ode To The 1st Week Of School.....





The first week of school

Is officially done.

In spite of the fears

It turned out pretty fun.



Bonus bucks stacking up

No homework to date.

Ella's so busy telling stories

Her lunch has to wait.



We get up so early

It's like waking at night.

Riding to school with cute boys

Makes it seem quite alright.



A star necklace like Mom's

Hangs from my neck.

So I know that she's with me

In case I get scared "half to deck".



With Grace and her friends

Four square is their game.

Ella's monkeybarring with a friend

But can't remember her name.



Poor Lily's at home

Feeling lonely and blue.

While she misses her girls

She loves Mama too.



After school playing nicely

Bedtime's super fast.

A clean house, peace and quiet

Let's hope these perks last.



Besides being tired.

And away all the day.

We love old John Harris

But still can't wait for May!
