It took us THREE hours to get out of the house this morning.  EVERYONE was capable of getting themself ready to go.  There is however a difference between capable and executing.  It was like three of them had never gotten themselves ready before...EVER.  Middle Boy showered, dressed, and ate breakfast while the other three wandered aimlessly around the house ignoring the continual promptings and reminders of the task at hand.

Good thing there wasn't a fire!

We finally got out the door at 1pm and I was completely exhausted.  Having never had toddlers I can't honestly say it would have been easier,  but maybe.

Praises we don't have to do this again tomorrow.
