Four boys, six lunches and one dog feeding later and we manage to get out the door every morning by 6:45! I LOVE these boys! They may be messy at times and constantly smell like sweat socks but they are frankly just very, very cool. We have a very good morning routine going on right now...Woo-Hoo(insert happy mommy dance here)! We have approached mornings over the years in a variety of ways: no cartoons in the morning, cartoons in the morning, eat breakfast in the car, eat breakfast at home, don't eat breakfast at all because you hid your brother's shoe in the closet.... So now we have four that happily come downstairs at 6:15am woken up by the fact that their mother blares praise and worship music to wake them....who can be sleepy and crabby when we're praising the Lord at the crack of dawn! They are dressed and ready with their shoes on and they pull up a stool after selecting their breakfast while the waitress...that'd be me of course...sigh, if only there was a waitress...brings it to them and they watch SpongeBob which oddly enough makes them eat more since they are not sitting at the table half asleep with me fussing at them to eat faster we have to goooooo!!!! So yes, I am now in the mommy camp of cartoons in the morning, no TV at night until your homework is done(Little People Big World being a family fav in the evening, seriously good life lessons being learned there, you should check it out) and of course none of those evil video games until the weekend. They attempt to wear me down on that one, but I will not budge! (Check back for further posts to see if the foursome were successful in that venue and if they do I am a big wimp.)
