2 hours later...

So it takes me seriously 2 plus hours to get ready. Not just me, but the kids. I start out my day with giving them breakfast. Then I have to shower. Get ready. Put Sofie down for a nap. Get Ethan dressed. Then finish getting ready myself. I have to make sure that I have the diaper bag ready. Diapers, baby wipes, water, formula, booger sucker, saline for the boogers,( my kids get a lot of congested noses with the dry weather) snacks for Ethan, snacks for mom, toys for Sofie, extra clothes to change in, jackets, gloves, blanket and the ever important burp rag. Ok so I probably forgot something as I walk out the door so I have to run back in and grab my digital camera. You never know when you will have a Kodak- or in my case Nikon moment. Then after I give Ethan several warnings to come and put his shoes on I place him and Sofie in the stroller. I take the elevator downstairs. To our car- strap them in load them up. Make sure that Sofie has the essentials. And then I am off to the store of my choice to have a relaxing time shopping because my children will be so well behaved because I made sure to pack everything they needed.
