This morning


Aren't they cute!!! I have to say this day has started out pretty good!!! It was the first in a long time and hopefully of many more to come that there was absolutely no fighting before school. Both kids got up when they were asked. Showered quickly (usually they stay in forever and then which ever one of them has to get in second has no hot water),got dressed immediatly which usually never happens especially because ali has so many clothes that she has a hard time deciding what to wear. Brushed hair and teeth with no problem (do your kids hate brushing their teeth? mine do). Had everything ready to go in their backpacks by 8:00. We even had time to make pancakes for breakfast! And then to top it all off, I was in the kitchen making their lunches and mitch came in after taking out the garbage and said "is it ok if i go outside and shovel the snow from driveway"? Of course was the answer and then ali decided she wanted to help. They shoveled for a few minutes came back inside and had 5 minutes to watch cartoons (i usually don't let them turn the tv on before school) before getting on the bus! What a great start we had hopefully it will last!!!

It's a good thing you blogged about it because you have to remember the good days for when you have bad day.

Grant loves to brush his teeth and is obsessed with floss. He goes into the bathroom all the time asking for "soss".
