The Benefits to Waking Up Before 6:00 a.m.

Tali and Eli playing with "Aunt Cara's blocks" in the kitchen while I cleaned.

This morning, Tali and Eli woke up at 5:50 a.m. Yes, that's early for us. About an hour and a half early. But, I got so much more done today because of it.

Before school I:

fed the kids breakfast
did a load of laundry
got the kids dressed (and myself)
taught Tali how to make our bed
cleaned the kitchen
made a grocery list and most of our weekly menu
took Jackson on a walk

And, we still made it to school on time. Amazing! Not that I'm hoping for a repeat performance tomorrow, but it was nice to have one day of numerous accomplishments before 9:00 a.m.
