Early Birds


Celeste, bless her darling heart woke up early this morning because I asked her to. I needed to get this set out today - Thursday is a good day for listing auctions. Last night I kind of asked her casually, "hey, could you wake up early tomorrow?"
"Sure!" She agreed cheerfully. "Then we can watch the sunset together!" (I think she meant rise).

True to her word, this beautiful child came to my bedroom at 6:30, dressed and ready to change the world. She was wearing a mini-skirt. Quickly, I got out of bed, curled her hair and lassoed soft, sleepy Emme into feeding Brooke some cheerios.

Celeste and I did the shoot lickety split and we had time to spare. Emme was dressed - they had their new pink jelly sketchers on - and we stood looking at eachother. What next?

"Let's go to school early!" I suggested. "Hurray!" they chimed. We climbed into the minnie van and got to school a half hour early. We were one of the first there. The teacher was so surprised and delighted to see us, she gave me a sticker. I'd take a picture of it, but Brooke chewed it up and spit it out. It was a little circle that said:

"Good Job!"
