who says folgers is the best part of waking up?

My favorite part of the morning is walking the kids to school.
Even if we've had a rough morning and the kids have fought over the elevator buttons down all 31 floors.

Something about the city being awake, bustling, children everywhere.
I get a little buzz off it.
But the absolute favorite part of my morning is this crossing gaurd.
She is a constant for me in an everchanging city.

And she says this. Every. Single. Morning.

I love her.
And I have to fight the urge to hug her.

  3. Don't be too impressed Ginger:-) It's only 2 blocks. And if I wasn't concerned Lily would fly away with some pigeons, I might have them walk alone!

  4. With her accent, I had to listen a couple of times... at first I thought she was calling you "sleepy-eggs!" Love that little shot of early morning NYC energy!

  9. Wow. She's so vibrant... so alive. Did you rehearse that with her a few times or tell her you were going to video her cuz she seems so ready to greet you? HAHA. I think I might want to slap someone who greeted me so lively in the morning like that. HAHA (Not a morning person)
