==== 

the first day of school Meryl got the kids up and dressed and gave them breakfast while she got Grace up a dressed then gave her to Don so she could go up stair an get out of her robe and get dressed when she came back down stairs and the kids where waiting for her in the living room because she wanted to get pictures of them on their first day of school the kids least favorite tradition they all hated picture except for Grace she loved having her picture taken well they where all like that when they where her age so they lined up on the front porch with their groans and grumbles of protest but they where soon shut out their mother asked them to smile  and they did so for her when the pictures where done the bus was barreling down the road so she shooed the kids down the road and brought Grace back inside to get her ready for daycare they had to grab blanky and bun-bun her nap time friend as they called them  and she had to get ready for work
