Back to School!

Whew!  Well after a manic day yesterday (where I mistakenly thought that my 5 year old was back to school) today went off without a hitch (so far!).  My biggest help was a Morning Routine Chart that I introduced in the hope that it would help get the two older ones motivated to check off each item on the list in exchange for a star if they did everything - well it worked wonderfully and for the first time (possibly ever), they were both dressed, fed, washed and ready to go by about 8:30 giving them a wonderful 30 mins of play time before school so everyone was in the car happy and relaxed without Mammy having to loose her patience half a dozen times before hand.  I'll put a copy of the charts on here (one for a boy and one for a girl) so you can print them and laminate them for yourself and see how they work for you!
