Mornings At Our House

Our mornings are hectic, like everything else. Todd gets up with the kids (hopefully they stay in bed until after 6 am). Then he changes their pants, starts their breakfast, gives them milk in sippees, empties the dishwasher, and takes out the trash if needed (yep every morning except his birthday and father's day) and somewhere in all of that I drag out of bed. I am usually up by 7 and then my shift starts. I will start laundry, load the dishwasher, finish breakfast, dress the kids, fix Ave's hair, take out the recycling, and get myself ready (dressing and breakfast) and whatever else the day entails.

This picture is a rarity since I am usually not up first and Mason isn't allowed in our bed. He had been having bad dreams all night and came in about 4 am. I was so tired of getting up with him it seemed to make sense.
