Daddy, are you praying?

"No, I'm just sitting with my arms folded."

"Can I say the prayer?"

"No MD, we don't pray here."

"Oh, why are you sitting like that?"

"I'm just sitting with my arms folded."

Hmm. How will we manage this one next time? We don't practice any religion at our house. But 98% of our neighbors do. Raising sinners among saints is my journal.  Wish me luck.

Get ready before your kids wake up. If your kids have some innate ability to wake up early every time you are successful enough to think you're waking up early enough to get a head start on them:

For the 2 yr old) sippy cup of milk, dry cereal and a toy on a picnic blanket (aka blankie) in front of the shower door.

For the 3 yr old) Doc Mcstuffins.

Next. Get ready, put your yoga pants back on, get the kids ready, put your work clothes on right before you walk out the door.
