In other news my oldest is going to be in 6th grade next year so the XW and were discussing what to do with her when school is out. My house is probably a mile away and she has a phone so I am thinking that she could just walk home after school. If the weather is bad then we will need to make some arrangements but the weather is generally not too bad in Texas.
My sons have been coming to my house after school since my divorce. My oldest son has a car now, but he still comes to my house after school most days. On my XW's week they go back to her house around the time she gets home from work. It works well for me because I get to see them almost every day.
