Typical morning with my two boys

I got up at 8AM and saw Salem already up and playing with toys. Darrell already left for work. I finish my shower, open the door and see that Oaklen got up and Salem is reading him a book. We get dressed and I plead with Salem to change his clothes. Every morning he wants to be some certain character. Today he wanted to be Clifford the Big Red Dog. He had on a red sweater, a red short-sleeve shirt on top of th sweater, and red pants. "I have to be a red red today Mom, because Clifford is red!" Well...I finally gave in and let him wear that just so I could take a picture of him and put it on this blog.

We went downstairs and before we eat, Salem (as usual) said the prayer. Oaklen folded his arms today, that's exciting! Oaklen went to the cupboard and got his bib out to let me know he is hungry

We ate a typical breakfast. Oaklen and I had millet with walnuts, flax seeds and banana. Salem usually has an egg, either hard-boiled or "scrambled." Today he chose the "scrambled" version which means it's nuked in the microwave and looks like an egg pancake.




After we eat I look at the clock and realize it's already time to take Salem to school. He grabs his show & tell items then we rush out the door.

Pretty fun huh? I wouldn't miss any minute of it. :)
