1. wake her up by lifting her shirt and blowing loud raspberries on her back; bonus speed to crazy if your sister does the same to her belly at the same time
1. take the matching Christmas ornaments that play a tinny, high-pitched version of "Jingle Bells" when their bellies are pressed, and repeatedly press the bellies of both ornaments at almost the same time, so that there is a cacophony of Jingle Belling throughout the house
1. throw yourself onto the pile of people snuggled in the bed first thing in the morning, and then whiiiiinnnnne, "stop touching meeeeee; I don't want anyone touching meeeeee"
1. ask her if you can ask her something important, and then ask it in a barely audible voice while hardly moving your lips at all: there is nothing better than a mumbling whisper for asking important questions (bonus points to crazy if you start to cry if she doesn't answer the question the way you hoped)
1. do all of the above before breakfast

Ahh... the morning mommy ritual. Thankfully they grow out of that, then pay back can start when they are pre-teens and you wake them up for school. Mwahahaha!
Oh goodness. I vote for a long hot bubble bath and some dark chocolate ;)
Honestly? I can't find anything annoying in your children's morning routine. I have a teen-ager whose 5:45 a.m. greeting is usually something like "I need money." Of course, it is perfectly enunciated. No mumbling.
SK
LOL!! Great one. Although, when they are teens, you will not be able to wake them up EVER. So...look forward to those days!
Christmas ornaments??? Is there something you need to confess?? ;-)
Suzy, They are just random ones that didn't make it back into the box when we put everything else away a few weeks ago. I think that was accidentally on purpose, since the kids like to play the music.
Tara, Melanie and SK all clearly know something I don't. *sigh* I keep thinking it will get easier as they get older. No, huh?
Jaina, I second that!
Here's another good one: while you're potty training your 3-year-old, your 5-year-old completely regresses.
Crazy.
Yes.
Anything in the morning actually.
So funny.
I was going to make fun of you for still having Christmas ornaments available for squeezing but then I thought of two things.
1. You might not actually still have XMAS ornaments out, and
2. I DO still have my XMAS tree up.
Perhaps some Jack with your coffee?
At oh-dark-hundred: "Mummmmeeeeeee, I'se BIG girl, I PEEEEEEEED"
"gruffle-mummble-huh-what?"
"I'se PEEED by mySELF!"
"S'nice darling, good girl" ...... "!?WHERE?!"
"RIght HERE, Mummy"
"I'm coming....Right where... Oh. Found it. With my foot."
