This was the play by play of how things went this morning all so me and the girls could go outside to play at the park....
Me: Grace let's get our clothes on so we can go outside and play!
Grace: Yay! Outside! *runs off into her room*
Me: *follows her into bedroom to see her climbing onto her bed and getting under the covers giggling* Grace, what are you doing? We're going to go outside remember?
Grace: *giggling* Mooooooommmmyyyyyyyyyy.... I'm sleeping!
Hailee: *toddling into the room with a big grin on her face holding a folded up diaper she got out of the trash*
Me: Hailee! What are you doing with a dirty diaper?
Hailee: *laughs, turns around, and runs as fast as she can out of the room*
Me: *thankfully she isn't that fast, so I catch up and grab the diaper and return it to it's rightful place in the trash*
Me: Hailee let's get dressed so we can go outside *holding clothes I have picked out for her*
Hailee: *smiles again and darts off down the hallway*
Me: Grace, come here and get dressed please
Grace: ok mommy. *comes and sits on my lap and lets me dress her*
Me: Go find your shoes now Grace. Hailee come here and get dressed!
Hailee: *runs by me close enough that I snatch her up and dress her in record time. She's laughing throughout the process*
Grace: *walks out wearing Daddy's tennis shoes grinning ear to ear because she knows it's funny*
Me: *go to the closet and find all three pairs of shoes that I need* Hailee let's put your shoes on.
Hailee: *willingly walks over and lets me put her shoes on*
Me: Grace let's put YOUR shoes on.
Grace: *walks over and lets me put her shoes on*
Me: *put my shoes on*
Me: *look over to see Hailee has taken her shoes and socks off. Pick her up and put her socks and shoes on a 2nd time*
Grace: Cracker please mommy.
Me: No Grace not right now, we are going outside. You can have one when we get back in.
Grace: *pathetic whine*
Me: *ignore pathetic whine*
Me: *grab pony tail holders to quickly fix their hair. Put Grace's hair in a braid and Hailee's in a half ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. Put jackets on the girls*
Me: *grab my keys and cell phone*
Me: Come on lets go *as I start to open the door*
Me: *Look over and see that Hailee has once again taken off her shoes and socks, and now her ponytail has been pulled out*
Me:*put Hailee's shoes on AGAIN and contemplate duct taping them to her feet. Put the ponytail back in her hair.*
Grace: Open the door!
Hailee: Open door!
Me: *Opens the door*
This is a pretty regular morning outing for us when the weather permits. It usually goes like this and yes, it usually takes us about 30-45 minutes to get out the door. I've gotten pretty good at planning for the time it takes so when time is of the essence, I'm a pro at being on time.... we just start getting ready WAY in advance ;)
Oh my poor husband living in a house full of silly girls!
