- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
It is the first day of school.
We are going to show you our morning routine.
It's always crazy first day back.
You know how it goes.

And let's get to it.
(upbeat music)
Oh, my alarm just went off.
And it's the first day of back to school,
and I'm definitely not ready.
I did not get enough sleep last night.
Oh, I'm still on my summer schedule,
but now getting up in the morning and that's the worst.
Pais, are you up?
Dax you up?
Up until this year,
we've had two different kind of morning times.
There's, like, a early runtime,
and then, like, a little bit later runtime
'cause there's two sets of buses.
This is the first year Dax and Paisley are on the same time,
which is great in a lot of ways
because it's always really hard to do, like, one shift
and then turn around and do another shift an hour later.
And we've had to get up earlier.
This year, the getting up time actually isn't terrible.
It's 7:00 right now.
You gotta be out the door by 8:00 for their buses.
And then school doesn't start until almost 9:00 or 8:45.
Here's the thing, the bad thing about this late time,
you don't get home off the bus till 4:45.
It's a really long day.
Then the back half of the day is kind of crunched
with all the activities and stuff.
So, it kind of makes for a late night.
I don't pick the times, we just roll with 'em.
(upbeat music)
The doggies are up and we took 'em potty.
Hi, puppies.
I'll get your food in a minute.
Ah.
She's awake and moving.
- Yeah.
- [Mindy] In your first day of school outfit.
Very cute.
How do you feel?
- Tired. - Yeah?
That's always how it feels on the first day of school.
Shaun's gonna do the breakfast duty this morning.
We just discovered we have one egg.
- One egg.
Kids always love hole-in-ones for breakfast, right?
What do you think?
One-on-ones? - Yeah.
- [Shaun] Yummy, huh?
My mom used to teach me how to make these
in 4H when I was a kid.
So yummy.
- Haven't seen Dax yet.
Let's go check on him.
Daxton?
- [Daxton] What?
- Are you up?
All right, he's up.
He's dressed.
- Dad's over here making hole-in-one.
- Yep. - Yeah.
- [Shaun] Yummy, huh?
- Over there.
Today I think I am excited for cheer, seeing friends,
making new friends, and pretty much the whole school day
'cause it's the first day of school, but yeah.
- Okay, now we're gonna
add a little bit of protein for 'em.
And bacon, yummy.
Who doesn't love bacon?
(chuckling) I love bacon.
- So we always have our kids pack their lunches
the night before
so we don't have to do that in the morning.
We try to remember to have 'em set out their clothes
the night before so we don't have to do that in the morning.
Try to make the mornings go smoother.
I have eight meetings today,
just back to back, to back, to back, to back all day.
I'm living in gym clothes,
and then hopefully going to Pilates tonight.
We'll see how the day goes.
There's the pool guy.
(gentle music)
All done.
Daxton, you guys know he is on the spectrum.
And one of the things he struggles with a little bit
is changes of routine, changes in schedule,
and, obviously, going from summer mode to fall mode
is a big change for him.
So beginning of school year
sometimes isn't my favorite time of the year
because it's just,
he can have, you know, like, little struggles.
So hoping this year goes great.
Work him through it until he gets settled
with his new teachers and new people in his classes.
And then he'll be hopefully great.
(upbeat music)
There you go, puppies.
There you go.
Good morning.
Have breakfast.
- Are you excited for school? - Yeah.
- What year are you gonna be? - My 10th year.
- [Shaun] (chuckling) Wake up, buddy.
What's that called, your 10th year?
- My sophomore year. - Sophomore year, huh?
Here, let's fix your collar.
Fix that a little bit, buddy.
Sharp looking guy.
Super smart, he's gonna be straight A student,
well behaved this year, right?
- Yep. - Yes.
Mom and dad gonna do while you're at school?
Party? - Work.
- [Shaun] (chuckling) Party.
- Work.
- [Shaun] Yeah, you excited?
You seem tired, both of you.
- Yeah.
- [Shaun] Well, summer's over, school's starting.
- Summer's not over until school officially starts.
- [Shaun] Just think, next year you'll be in 8th grade,
and you'll be a junior.
Back to school photos.
That's so cute.
- [Mindy] Okay.
(gentle music)
Okay. - Good job.
Go get your brother.
(gentle music continues)
And we got both of 'em out here.
- [Mindy] Wait, one more.
Get closer, closer, closer.
One, two, three. (camera lens clicks)
- [Shaun] Paisley!
Remember who you are and what you stand for!
Excited to see your friends though?
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah?
- [Mindy] Ready?
(gentle music continues)
- Remember what was cool about me being a sophomore?
- What? - Guess what?
You're not the lowly freshman anymore,
in the hallways, right? - Mm-hmm.
- [Shaun] You're gonna be nice to 'em though, right?
- Yeah. - Okay, good.
There we go, buddy.
Hey, hey.
Remember who you are and what you stand for, buddy.
Have a good day, love you.
- The morning is done.
The kids are gone.
I am about to start into my work day after eating breakfast.
That is that for the first day of school.
Now all we have to do is make sure
we've got our cookies ready for when they get home,
which is also our tradition.
We're off for the races for the day.
- [Shaun] First day tradition is always
chocolate chip cookies for the kiddos.
Dakota's gonna help me and open the oven.
- We're gonna eat 'em. - We're gonna eat 'em?
Dakota is going to eat the first day of school cookies.
- [Dakota] Heck, yeah.
- Hey, bud. - Hello.
- [Shaun] How was your first day of school?
- Good.
My favorite class was, obviously, robotics.
- [Shaun] How were your business classes?
- Boring.
- [Shaun] Are you ready to take over Brooklyn's business?
- Lame. - Yes.
(Shaun chuckling)
- [Shaun] Who'd you have lunch with?
Your friends? - Yeah.
- [Shaun] Well good, I'm glad you had a good first day, bud.
Oh. (dog squealing)
He's excited to see you.
(dog squealing continues)
He's so happy to see you.
Oh, so cute.
- I know.
- [Mindy] What happened on your bus ride home?
- So we thought a tire popped
because our bus driver told us it popped.
But it was really the air conditioning that broke down.
- [Mindy] Uh-oh.
How was your first day of school?
- Oh, it was amazing!
I liked cheer.
- [Mindy] Okay.
- We got to do all the dances.
- [Mindy] Did you feel like you knew 'em?
- I knew the dances, they're pretty easy.
- [Mindy] What was your least favorite?
- Having to sit with, like, class for the first week.
That's just annoying.
- [Mindy] And of course our cookie tradition continues.
Come get a cookie for your first day of school.
- [Paisley] I want this one.
- [Mindy] Do I get a cookie for your first day at school?
- Yes.
- Do I?
- [Mindy] Yeah.
Day one down. - Good.
- [Mindy] A whole bunch left.
- [Shaun] Cookies and milk, man.
So good.
