walk to school day

yes the annual event rolled around once again. D took first year & last year I was an unhappy, tired & cranky last minute substitution but this year I planned on being the walk to school parent with C & it was much more pleasant for all involved. first of all no open toe sandals, traipsing through wet grass in sandals is just icky no way around that. we parked at the other location this year and the walk was much nicer I did not realize there was such a pretty greenway behind farragut primary school. this year they handed out books which was better than the crap that inevitably winds up in the trash by the end of the day that they handed out in the past. They have a little breakfast on the playground with muffins & fresh fruit but C is not a breakfast food sort of kid and had already had chicken & rice(with the good hot sauce you know the one daddy uses) I knew the coffee would be horrible swill so my thermos was already full and waiting for me in the car C bolted into to school to hang with his buddies-sadly no hug or kiss but barely a wave to dismiss me-at least he grabbed my hand while we were walking, he is growing up so damn fast!
I wonder in the intermediate school does the walk to school thing too?
