8AM DISASTER!!!

Jared Samuel and I both get up at around 6am almost every morning. Once we get up we get Jared fed and we start playing for a bit and then Mommy attempts to exercise a bit while watching the news. This all takes about an hour or so. Once that is done I start to get the kids' breakfast ready and start cleaning the kitchen. All while Jared keeps me company in his walker.

Once the girls get up ( and Jared leaves for work) we get them changed and then they use the potty, after which they bring out their blankets and settle down in the living room with their little couches. They watch the news in the morning with Little brother while mommy finishes breakfast!

As soon as Jared sees his sisters he starts getting all excited, kicking and screaming and laughing at them hoping that when they pass him on the way to the living room that they will stop and give him a Good Morning kiss and hug. He loves it!

Once the girls get settled after breakfast Jared usually shares Lizzy's couch and watches cartoons with his sisters. But my clean living room soon becomes a complete disaster and this is just what it looks like during the week.. almost no room to walk, blankets thrown all over the place along with Jared's toys. It looks worse during the weekend when Jared is home from work. He has his own blankets and pillows that he parks right in between the girls and their couches.

It is amazing how quickly a room fills up with people. But these people are little can you imagine what it would be like to have 5 adult bodies sharing this little living room? What a disaster! It is worse for me because I am really claustrophobic, so on Saturdays when there is a packed living room I spend it in bed sleeping.... at 10am!
