A typical morning....

In my desperate attempt to get to work on time each day, I thought I'd put a snippet of what our morning looks like (and why I'm perpetually late for work).

Once I finally get the girls in their coats (which you'll notice Joli does NOT have on because she decided she had to go to the bathroom just as I locked the house door and if I didn't let her go she said she would pee in my car), it's still a struggle to get them both into their car seats. I'm sure our neighbors get a chuckle out of us in the morning. Hey, we're better than any morning talk show!

Here's Jada's new thing -- she doesn't want to get in the car seat. Usually I can count on Jada to be smiling and giggling once she gets her pink coat on, and she usually loves the car seat. But, now, Jada is doing the "straight as a board/fight the power" move when I put her in. This morning, I let her stay "straight as a board" in the seat while I reached down to get Joli and lift her into the car(and, for some reason, she has lost her jacket since leaving the bathroom and today's temperature is all of 41 degrees...). I stood straight up and then saw Jada leaning over the car seat and facing the front of the car. Urghh....

Then, I finally got Joli into the car and she decides to ask over and over and over again for "treats" (aka chocolate).

Now, on most days, I would have lost my "cool" and gone nuts...

But, today, I joined the masses of amateur journalists and grabbed my laptop to document the wild and crazy times of our little family - all before 7:45am.

Enjoy!!
