So, in the interest of smooth mornings and being ready to walk out the door with both kids dressed and ready for school, we took some pictures of our 'morning routine' yesterday. Once we get the prints, Olivia and McIver are each going to put their pictures in order on a piece of posterboard and decorate it. Olivia was really into the whole idea - here's her morning routine (notice the smiles in her pictures) ...
Eat Breakfast
Brush Teeth
Brush Hair
Make Bed
Get dressed, even shoes! (still can't get the picture to rotate)
We also have a breakfast list - every Monday, we have X; every Tuesday, we have Y; every Wednesday, we have Z; etc. so that I'm not playing the part of short-order cook every morning and the kids know what to expect in the morning. That was a HUGE help last year and seems to be working for us again this year.

I love your ideas about the breakfast list and morning routines. So organized! I always feel like I feed my kids the SAME thing every single morning. Any great ideas welcome!
