Cheer Or Cry? What Would You Do?

Did She Cheer or Cry?
This was the question on my mind this morning as the mother of Kindergarten Quadruplets was escorting her children (all 4 of them) to class this morning. There they were right before my eyes...2 Boys and 2 Girls. All dressed for The Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast. Four Little Indians. Two Little Mermaid Back Packs....Two Lightening McQueen Back Packs. Two with long braids...Two with slight Mohawks. One mom... 4-Five year olds. All I could think was Wow...here is another Hero-Mom for me to be in awe of.
How did it feel to send FOUR children to Kindergarten on the same day? I have a crying meltdown every first day of school, regardless of the grade, which makes me wonder....on the first day of Kindergarten....Did She Cheer or Cry? Perhaps a little of both.
How Do You Think It Would Feel To Send FOUR Children to Kindergarten at ONE time?
Bittersweet is the word I will assign to this milestone event.

mercy... FOUR five year olds. Wow. I only have one five year old (and a 6 yr old and a 2 yr old) and I feel like I'm busy!

When I dropped my kids off for kindergarten I felt sad with a touch of glee that I might actually get to have 2 minutes to myself!
