Most days, I’m lucky enough to have one of my parents come over in the morning while I drop the big two off at school, and again when I pick up Ivy from preschool three hours later.

Occasionally, though, I’m on my own (how dare they have a life?!).

Last Friday was one of those days. I may have almost forgotten that I had to load up all four for the drop-off, but we made it…just in time.

Essie still has two years before she gets to go to school, but on Friday, she was really wanting to be just like her big “brudder” and sister. So, when we got ready to go pick up Ivy, she had to get all of her things.

Ready to go.
