Somehow, everyone got up and moving early around the house today. We were ready and out the door not only on time, but maybe a minute or two early! That was especially a good thing, since we were all in one car today. But that meant Jeff drove to drop off all three girls, and I just got to be the passenger princess, and snap photos of the sunrise!

Mornings are always very busy. I get up early enough to pack lunches for me and Addison, and at least once a week I also do a meal in the crockpot. I usually pick out Addie’s clothes too, but Emmie picks out her own. Then we fix water bottles and coffees, and make sure both girls have two snacks. Then it’s backpacks and shoes, and they’re finally running out the door, as I finish getting myself ready.

I was singing on the worship team today, so I went out to church in “feels-like-10-degree” weather to get that at 8am. That was so stinking crazy to me! (Yes, this screenshot was from when I woke up for a potty break at 4am, but the temp was still the same at 8am. Well actually, it was one degree colder at 8am!)

With the girls having a sleepover at Grammy’s house, I wanted to sleep in a little bit more than I actually did, but 8am was still pretty decent. I hopped on the computer early to write yesterday’s blog post with a little cup of coffee. When Jeff woke up, he made us a can of cinnamon rolls, and another cup of coffee for me, and I curled up on the couch to warm up and enjoy some chill time.

After getting everyone all dressed and ready, I helped the girls get out to the car with Daddy for school. Had to get extra loves and hugs though, because the girls were having a sleepover and I wouldn’t see them for a day!

Got the girlies to school this morning as usual, and although I had gotten up and helped everyone get dressed and ready, I stayed home bundled up and warm on the couch!

I’m actually loving seeing these girls in all their layers and their cute scarves from Grandmommie, even if we’re all very much over this crazy cold weather this week!

Emerson was too cold to get out of the car at Addison’s drop-off, and then Jeff and Addie ran so fast they didn’t even take any pics. He just took this very sunny pic of Emmie in the car line drop-off at her school before she hopped out of the car.

This morning ended up unexpectedly being kinda crazy. Jeff and the girls had to go to the gas station to fill up his car, so they grabbed breakfast sandwiches while they were there. But then I got a call from Emerson’s orthodontist’s office, saying her previously-broken twin block (retainer) had been repaired. So they squeezed us in for an 8am appointment to grab it, and make sure it fit correctly.

Jeff went to church early today, to work in GC Kids. So while I was getting ready, Addison was in the back, with Emerson’s giant case full of makeup, just having a grand ole time!
