This is our morning routine:
6:50 am Baby C wakes and gets her breakfast (nurses)
7:15 am Big C wakes and gets her breakfast of oatmeal or cereal if someone has blessed us with some
7:20 am Baby C is dressed for the day and plopped into her baby chair
7:30 am Big C watches Umi Zoomi while she potties and dresses for school
7:40 am Baby C gets a cuddle and placed back in chair
7:45 am Big C brushes her teeth and Papa D fixes her hair (yes, Papa D does this)
7:55 am Big C puts on her motorcycle helmet and heads out the door with Papa D
8:00 am Baby C gets a cuddle and sometimes she asks for a bit more milk
8:15 am Baby C is back in bed
8:20 am Mama K has her cup of coffee in hand and is blogging/ FBing/ or out the house to visit people
Now you must remember that this is what we dream the routine would look like. Usually you can throw in 1-2 tantrums by Big C about sitting at the table or not wanting to use her potty. You can also throw in an extra clothes change for Baby C as she will probably spit up all over the 1st cute outfit we have put on her. Also please note that I do not leave Baby C alone in the house while napping; our Martha is always here before I leave!
That time span is only 1 1/2 hours but boy does it feel like a marathon!

What's your morning routine like? Do you have any secrets to share?

Homeschool!... That cuts out most of the morning rush around ;).
no homeschool here for now. Big C likes playing with her friends and speaking in Indonesia too much to keep her at home with Mama K all day. It's only for 2 hours though. and Mama K likes her 2 hours free each morning and her cup of coffee in peace too much to get rid of it!
however, when we move Big C will probably not have a school we can afford to send her to anymore so Mama K will be making a playgroup at home with the neighbors!
6:00 am parents wake up, Mama gets breakfast on the table
6:30 am children are woken up, BB turns on the coffee maker, everyone eats
7:00 am children get pottied, teethbrushed, cleaned, and dressed with the help of one or more parent
7:30 am children watch morning TV while parents get ready
7:55 am Pappa helps children get their outside clothes on while Mama rushes to finish herself (we have to allow more and more time for outside clothes as it gets colder and the clothes multiply!)
8:00 am Everyone out the door, Pappa on his bike to work, children and Mama in the car to dagis and work.
Moving???

Big C gets to ride a motorcycle in the morning?! Wow! And no cereal in Indo?
LA, I loved reading your morning routine. What has happened to me? I enjoy reading about people's daily routines now!
Jennifer, I can find some cereal here such as corn flakes but not the good stuff from back home. My mom sends me out a box about once a month!
