Watching the bus

A 2-hr late start due to snow prompted me to find these pictures...

This was last year, April 18th. Lydia at 17-months watching 'Waren' get on the bus... and dressing herself, complete w/hat & mittens :)

Another funny tid-bit... LeaAnn is wearing this SAME OUTFIT right now at 11-months :)

 
had to throw in this picture, I just love it so much.

And here we are THIS YEAR, Friday, February 24th.
Lauren was gone w/Dad to the dermatologist, so Lydia & Lindsay went out to play in the snow before the bus came. They had a ton of fun together, constructing a bridge & making snow angels. Lauren got home in time to play a little before getting on the bus. Lydia was SO BUMMED when the big girls had to go, which is why I got out the camera. She was so sad... it really was sad. She's holding her hand out here saying, "No go to school. Mommy, I go to school!"

I love how Shena was trying to console her here.

She wouldn't come inside for a few minutes just watching the bus drive away... oh someday little Lydia, someday. In the meantime, I told Lauren to ask her teacher, Mrs. Lenox, if she wouldn't mind if I sent Lydia to school with her for the day ;)  but... I'm still waiting to hear her response ;)
