Afterschool

Everyday, as school is about to get out for the boys, Annabelle and I stand in the grass outside the school doors and wait for the bell.  Annabelle will usually go peek in through the doors while we wait.  Soon, the bell rings and Annabelle begins giggling with excitement...Her brothers are about to come running through the doors any second and when they do she is going to greet them with a big hug!  And those rough, tough boys are going to smile and hug her back...in front of their friends!  Their voices will go up a notch as they talk to her.  The other kids will be making faces, but only because they don't understand the bond these 3 siblings have.  The other moms will be saying, "Aww,  that's so sweet."

Everyday.  I love this part of the day...even if it only lasts for a few minutes.
