As a part of our move, we (Isaac) has decided to adopt some new habits. One of them is getting up at the crack of dawn- all of us- I'm talking early. Okay, I do have to give him some credit- though this habit is only two days old- he has been getting up and getting breakfast ready and then getting me up. But it is still 6:10! I don't even know how early he is getting up.

It is nice to eat breakfast together. And it is very nice that he is the one making the breakfast. But another substantial benefit is how much I'm getting done in the mornings. This morning, we had all eaten, gotten dressed, and then I mowed the yard and showered and re-dressed all before 9am.

How wonderful!

It leaves time for more whimsical things...



like putting the girls hair up in hot rollers.

The hot rollers were rather a disappointment. My older two girls (the younger of the two is on the left) have stick straight hair (from my husband's side). It is beautiful and they can go to bed with wet hair and still have straight hair in the morning. My hair, if slept on wet, looks rather Medusa-ish with chunks sticking out all over- but, I digress... The little one, Boo Boo (on the right), has beautiful natural curls in her hair already. The girl with already curly hair is the only one who saw results from the hot rollers. And, of course, she is not the one who had requested some curls.
Ahh but isn't life always greener on the other side of the fence.
