At noon I went next door to get Zoe to come outside with me. I waited while Christi got her coveralls, boots, and jacket on her. We held hands and walked over to my cart to get my gloves and sweatshirt. She and I stacked the rest of the wood that Seth brought up two days ago... such a slacker, I am. I would pick out the smaller pieces for Zoe to put on the woodpile ... she sometimes insisted on getting a bigger one. Once that was done we decided we needed a break and sat and rocked on the porch for a while.. actually I sat and rocked, she feed the dogs treats and fussed at them when they licked her... ewwww. As usual she had an ALL of a SUDDEN need to go potty and we have to run, run, run Grandma to get there in time. Then there is the ritual of handwashing, teeth brushing, hair brushing (every time we go potty). Aunty Em woke up and joined us in the bathroom and we decided that everyone needed some breakfast. Aunty Em provided us with entertainment (she got Micky Mouse Club House going on the tv) I moved Zoe's high chair into to Em's room and fixed them identical breakfasts... 1/2 of a PB&J, a banana, 1/2 cup of yogurt and juice.. the girls sat contentedly eating for the whole hour long show (Zoe had another helping of sugar(her word for yogurt). We cleaned up, Aunty Em wanted to go back to bed and Zoe was ready to go home.
Lovely morning with my girls.

I love your descriptions of your daily menusche with them.
I've always loved how my favorite authors can take the most mundane of things and make them sound interesting by the use of words... so, I decided a long time ago that is how I would deal with the mundaneness of my life...the way I write it is the way I see it my head.
Love it! Hayden loves pb&j's for breakfast..and lunch..and dinner! :) Hayden has mastered the potty. He hasn't worn a diaper in over a week! Yeah!
