Paul headed out for doughnuts while I soothed the girls out of bed, towards the bathrooms, and into clothes.
No one was stressed or rushed, the girls enjoyed their doughnuts and sausages (because today was rescheduled birthday day) and everyone got out the door to school on time.
Only Mommy and Daddy didn't have time to shower and dress. So Paul came back from dropping Ada at preschool and met me on the front porch. We sat outside together for thirty minutes with our mugs of coffee, sharing a doughnut.
We chatted, we felt the fresh breeze on our faces, we enjoyed the neighborhood's changing leaves. It was glorious. Then we came back inside and got ourselves ready to face the day. We were running a little late, but it was totally, absolutely, easily worth it.
Glorious autumn.
