You Capture – Mornings

September 2, 2010 by Elaine

Mornings start pretty early around here.
Yesterday’s started at 5:58 a.m.

Like I said, early.

I do not wake up by alarm clock..

I usually wake up by hearing “WAAAAAAH!!” or “I gotta go potty!” or “can you turn the t.v. on?”. You can probably guess which child goes with which statement.

So… in order to begin my day ‘right’ I need two things:
Food and coffee (in this case it’s iced)(the coffee, not the food).

I take a few minutes to assemble the first-grader’s lunch. While still in my night gown (ignore dirty kitchen floor. nothing to see here. move along.)


Later in the morning (you know, like around 8:30!) we go play in Kay Kay’s room and she makes me another ‘breakfast’. (wink, wink)

After I ‘eat’ (again) she moseys on over to the play cube.

And then Little G comes to play too.

And I’m thankful for the morning sun that comes in through the window…

… and another beautiful day with my little loves.
p.s. kinda wish there was a photo of The B Man getting off to school but he was NOT in the mood that morning. Perhaps it was the PRE 6 a.m. wake up time…

    I see K is on her tippy toes again. BTW, if she outgrows that pink dress, I know a blue-eyed, brown-haired girl that would like it. Perhaps we can figure out a swap? 🙂

    Your breakfast looks YUMMY! And I’m glad to know I’m not the only person with a dirty kitchen floor – absolutely NOTHING to see here! 😉

    Okay, first… the rug in Kay Kay’s room is pure awesomeness. Second, I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one up at the butt-crack of dawn because of my offspring. Someday. Someday we will sleep again!

    Oh my, that is one very activity filled early morning! If it makes you feel any better my daughter typically wakes me up between 5:30 and 6:00am – either that or I get up super early at 5:15am and do my Jillian 30-day shred workout first.

    Lovely photos – I just love your daughter’s dress. She and her brother are just beautiful.

    Love your shots, and I’m glad that someone else is up that early too, I had to totally laugh at Jess’ comment, so hilarious! I love that rug too, so cute!

    mornings look pretty darn sweet around there. Well, other than the totally too early start time. Anything before 7 is inhuman to my mind!

  20. Bunch of Barrons says

    Cute shots! That breakfast looks yummy!

  21. Jessica says

    Ugh on the pre 6am wake up call! Can’t do it myself and so grateful my kids don’t either.

    And that dress KK is wearing is the cutest thing ever as are her adorable chub legs.

    And G? WHEN DID HE GROW UP? Suddenly he looks a year older…

    LOVE your pictures! So, so precious.

    I love the shot from you looking down at your feet…that’s such a shot you glance at all throughout the day, I never thought of taking a pic of it. Also, love the rug in the kid’s room! It’s beautiful!

    Your little ones are too cute. p.s. jack can teach your little girl to eat bananas if she can teach him how to walk 😉

    You’re so much nicer than me, I totally would have made him take a picture…grumpy or not.
