shhhh
Dear sleeping babies-
Do not wake up*. I repeat, "DO NOT Wake up." It's so peaceful when you're all snoring. Yes, I know family scriptures at 5:30am is torture. Believe me, I know. Anything that takes place earlier than 7am is, in my book, akin to cruel and unusual punishment. (Don't blame me, blame Hootis' school bus that comes at 6:45am.) Fortunately, you all inherited my skills at falling instantly asleep anytime before 7am, so once scriptures are over you can go back to la la land.(Ahem, I said after scriptures are over, not after your reading turn is over! Do as I say, not as I do.)
Your bus doesn't come until 8:10. Since you never comb your hair and you plan on wearing the clothes you slept in or the same clothes you wore yesterday (that are conveniently laying on your bedroom floor) you're practically ready to go already! Yes, I know, you need 30 extra seconds to find a pair of stinky socks to wear. (Yes, your mud encrusted shoes are on the back porch.) Yes, darling breakfast is ready. No, you can't eat Easter candy with it. Have a good day. (Sorry to your teacher about the stench.)
love,
your mama
*Just to state for the record: These quiet morning are rare. Usually the chaos circus starts immediately following scriptures. All that spirituality generally inspires the boys to run, chase, tease, hit, RipStick, sword fight, tattle, throw things, wrestle and make a lego mess. All before 7am. Can I come sleep at your house?
