Ohhh livia

Those of you who know my Olivia very well, know she is very pokey! Getting ready for school is really hard. She gets distracted very easily. It really tries on my patience. This morning's goodbye conversation went something like this:

Mom: Olivia it is time to go, get on your bike. I will meet you in the front.
McKinley (on her bike in the backyard): Olivia? Where is your backpack?
Olivia: Oh yeah! I knew I was missing something.
Mom: Uggggg
Olivia: (after running back in the house to try and find her backpack) Bye, I guess I am having hot lunch, I don't even know what it is.

Oh my!!!

We have those days, too. Olivia is so my kid. She cracks me up. Life is just too much fun to worry about time, and lunches, and where shoes are. She likes it simple, and easy. Good girl.

That is what makes Olivia, Olivia. She defines "fly by the seat of your pants" perfectly.

That would be Ashlee! I can't tell you how many times I have to remind her to finish doing something- like eat breakfast- get shoes on, put her lunch in her bag..... everyday it's the same thing over and over- HURRY UP!!

Every family has a lolly gagger - that's my Zackie. I swear I have to remind him every morning to do just about everything: shoes, check blood sugar, brush teeth, etc. One morning last week he even started packing his lunch literally 2 or 3 minutes before his ride was showing up!!! He definitely tries my patience every morning!!!
