First Day of School and Daddy's SWEET Office

Lacy's first day of preschool.
This year she's in the Blue Room with Mrs. Mindy! I have a rule that Lacy's school wardrobe must consist of pants/shorts and she should wear a ponytail to school. Reasons for the rules are 1. she'll flash her panties on the playground in her dresses. 2. Her hair is always in her face and it's just too hot to be wearing her hair down.

This morning after I selected her school-appropriate outfit, Lacy whined to me "MOOOMMM. I don't want to wear those pants. They're not beautiful...I don't LOVE them!"
Hopefully with a routine and if I stick to my guns, we'll quickly overcome these morning tantrums.

The next morning obstacle will be getting Lacy to school on time. I admittedly am not a morning person. Unfortunately, I have passed this trait on to my beautiful little Lacy. Lacy loves to sleep in. And she loves to hang out in her pajamas all morning (my kind of girl!) So as I try to rush and get her ready for school she's quickly distracted by morning cartoons, daintily eating her cereal and anything else that might catch her eye. That girl moves as slow as molasses!

Another habit we've started this year is having lunch with Cliff in his office. Cliff works late Monday nights, so the kids and I have lunch with him at his office on Mondays. This way the kids get to see him, since they're in bed when he comes home. Cliff found an awesome leather sofa on craigslist and purchased some other little knick knack things to make his office really homey. All of his coworkers have commented how nice his office is. And the girls' have made themselves right at home!
