A Morning in the Life

 Kids get breakfast while Dan and I get their lunches ready

 Jack's favorite lunch - noodle soup in a thermos, a blueberry muffin for snack, a cucumber, pretzels and a piece of bread underneath!  Then we send a bowl to pour the soup into, a spoon and a plastic grocery bag to put all the dirty stuff in to bring home!

A mixture of snack bags with foods and lunch bags

Kylie's lunch bag - with pretzels, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a muffin and either carrots or a cucumber

 Megan had leftover lasagna, pretzels, a cucumber and a roll maybe?

And Jack's lunch box all nicely packed up!  We searched for 8 weeks last summer to find the perfect lunch bags.  I wanted them insulated (because of the Kuwait heat) and they had to come in 3 different designs for the kiddos...we found them at Gap after searches at more stores than you could imagine and they've been perfect!  We also picked up these bowls at Walmart on clearance for $0.25 each!  They are large enough and low enough to fit perfectly in there for the noodles!

 All 3 bags - Kylie, Jack and Megan's from back to front

 Getting shoes on and backpacks packed up in the front hall

 My 3 kiddos

 The inside of the bus - Megan normally sits with Ava.  Jack and Kylie sit together.  This day, Megan had her final (she got 100%) so she was studying on the way in to school :)

 The bus goes down and turns around, then comes back by our house.  We stand and watch for the kiddos, and then blow kisses and wave - and if you enlarge this pic, you can see 2 little kiddos who always wave and blow kisses and "I love you" signs back :)
