Morning Routine

Here is what a morning looks like at our house. Sometimes I get a shower before the walk to school but this usually only happens when Dad is home to help out.

6:30 Get up the baby, change her diaper, nurse her and set her down to play.
6:45 Put the steel cut oats on the stove. Cut up fruit for breakfast. Get out vitamins.
7:00 Wake up the big two children and encourage them to get dressed.
7:05 Wake up the toddler, change his diaper and clothes.
Timeline for older two in order to get their green marks:
7:15 dressed
7:20 teeth brushed
7:35 breakfast eaten
7:40 backpacks on and out the door
