Ella takes the bus


Ella didn't originally qualify to take the bus. Since our house is 1.47 miles away from the school, we lived .03 miles too close. We've been driving Ella to and from school, since we thought it was way too far for a Kindergartner to walk, especially since it's up a steep hill, and past tons of construction work. We applied to get Ella on the bus, and found out yesterday after school that Ella along with most of our other neighbors have finally been approved. YAY! Ella was pretty excited to walk to the bus stop this morning. Too bad she doesn't get to take it again for another month since this is her last day of school. She's off track for a while.

thats so fun. Katie wants to take the bus so bad. thats crazy that she's off track already! It seems like Katie just barely started. We don't get a break till the end of October.
