morning routines.
favorite time of the day.
push the on button for coffee.
power up the laptop.
turn on the morning news
turn of the lights.
open the blinds in the kitchen.
recycle last nights newspaper.
pour cereal.
make sandwiches.
go outside and find the newspaper.
sip on coffee.
pack lunchboxes into backpacks.
catch the morning story on the today show.
test the boys on last minute spelling words.
grab a mug of coffee & sunglasses.
pile into the mom minibus.
drop off at school.
back home to say goodbye to steve.
50 minutes of jam packed fun & laughs.
there are morning bologna laughs.
the cold cuts share morning stories with us.
there are morning smiles to be put on.
you should see what happens when a tuesday smile
winds up on a wednesday morning.
there are morning tip jars to be filled upon leaving
moms limo-service vehicle.
there are deep economy conversations when nate
doesn't understand the headlines.
there are morning googles when the boys can't
remember how many medals michael phelps won.
there are espn.com visits when mom & dad can't
remember the sunday night football finalscore.
this is how we start our day.
we pack our lunches before bed.
we set the table before bed.
we load our backpacks before bed.
we find our sneakers before bed.
we locate this missing library book before bed.
we sign all school papers before bed.
we make the coffee before bed.
this is how we start our day before bed.
we love our mornings.
we relax during our morning routine.
we talk.
we listen.
we start our day this way.
it makes for a better morning.
it makes for a better day.
it makes for great morning smiles.
it makes for lifetime memories.
