Mornings

I treasure mornings in our house. The kids are fresh and at their cutest. I just adore them in their pajamas. They're so soft and darling and rested.

Elizabeth likes to toddle around the house drinking her bottle. Then, I get her into her high chair and she and I eat breakfast together. We laugh over the cereal I put on her tray that she shoves in her mouth and she giggles when the pears I give her disappear. Our breakfasts go on for a long time, but it's so much fun. We arrange her stuffed animals and books so they "watch" her eat breakfast since they're not allowed to be on her tray. She LOVES these little "My Little Pony" books Aunt Laura got her. She toddles around with them and pretends to read them. She organizes them.

Nathan likes to lounge in the brown chair while eating copious amounts of breakfast sausage, cereal, fruit, and drinking his oat milk. He likes to watch "The Cat in the Hat" and "SuperWhy."

Then, he'll shut off the TV and disappear into his room. He'll emerge a few moments later all dressed and ready to go. Then, he'll go in the bathroom and brush his teeth by himself. (I then come in and help him brush the "backs" just to make sure he gets his teeth done well).

Elizabeth and I get her dressed and then the kids like to play in the bathroom and we talk and laugh while I put on my makeup and try to make my hair decent.

Preschool starts tomorrow. We're going to need to pick up our pace! We tend to dally in the mornings.




Elizabeth is so cute in these pajamas I can hardly stand it! Purple is definitely her color. Thanks for the jams Grandma Jane! See, she has her pony book and her bottle.



Here's Nathan looking adorable in his Thomas pajamas while eating his breakfast and watching his little shows. Again, thanks for the jams Grandma Jane!

I love about the first 10 minutes in the morning when we all snuggle together. Then about 10 minutes in (if we're lucky) DS will start to act crazy and want to bounce, jump, and be rough. After that it's just a mad dash to get everyone ready for school!
Yep. Those first 10 minutes are sweet but after that it's chaos in our house.

That does sound cute! Yup, mine are too little for school, but I'm sure it will be a mad dash once they get old enough! Right now, preschool is at 10:00 so we have a few hours to get ready. Thank goodness!

Bonfire

 Jeremy and Nathan went up to Ellensburg for a bonfire. Elizabeth was really sick and I stayed home with her. Jeremy took a few photos. Nath...
