- [Shaun] Hey, it's time to wake up.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys.
- Aloha from Hawaii.
- Yeah, it's beautiful here.
- And we're enjoying it, and we're welcoming you
back to the second edition of Behind the Braids.
Yay.
Be sure to subscribe below and don't forget to
click this right here for more videos.
- And we're going to be talking today, or showing
you a little bit about our morning routine with the
kids starting with Brooklyn and Bailey really early.
Then on to the rest of the kids, so
- You guys are always asking us how we do our
morning routine, so this is the real life edition, right.
- Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
- Let's go.
(alarm beeping)
- Hey guys, it's Brooklyn and Bailey and it is currently
5:00 in the morning which is - Bright and early
- Yeah. - We just woke up.
- This is when we get up every single morning
because we go to our Bible study class,
and then, we go to our drill team practice,
and then we get ready at school,
so that's basically our morning routine.
- Yeah, we just gotta pack our bags, make our bed,
and run out the door for Bible study.
- It's definitely too early for ...
- To be awake. - To be awake right now.
- Hey guys, it is now 6:15 in the morning.
And just climbing out of bed, as you can see.
You all have been asking for morning routine videos,
so we're going to do one for you.
My first job when I get up is to work on breakfast
and get the kids some breakfast and some lunches going.
So that's where I'm heading to right now.
- [Shaun] The first thing we need to do is let Brady out.
(door knocking)
Kamri, hey, it's time to wake up.
Hey Rylan, it's time to wake up.
Rise and shine.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
- How are you buddy?
- Good.
Let's see, how's your baby sister doing?
Hi sweet pea.
- Hey daddy.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Okay, so I brushed my teeth, pulled my hair up.
Threw on my jacket, not a jacket but a sweatshirt,
because it's kind of cold this morning.
And now we're off to let the puppy in.
Hey bud, hello.
And start working on lunches,
so lunches at our house we usually have a note
left out like this in the morning.
Kamri does these the night before.
She lists out what we're gonna have,
and then she puts out her lunch bag,
and you can see that anything that's not
a fridge item is already put out.
So my job is to gather any of the stuff.
So I need the celery, the sandwich, and the applesauces.
So here's the celery and apple sauces she's got out.
Can't grab them while I'm holding a camera.
Now you guys can see the twins are already gone.
Their lunches were missing because they're already out,
they left this morning at, I don't know,
way too early, even earlier than we get up.
Which is unfortunate.
So they're off and already have their lunches.
And I'm going to work on sandwiches.
- Man, it's too early in the morning.
We're ready to get little Daxton
and little Paisley dressed today.
The night before, we always come in and we lay
out their clothes, it makes it a little easier.
(laughing)
Paisley, you tired?
Getting ready to get dressed?
- Yeah.
- Okay, three, two, one.
- Tada. - Tada.
- [Mindy] So, yeah one of our favorite lunch sandwiches
is this rotisserie chicken, from the store
with some Havarti cheese, yum.
If you haven't had Havarti, it's delicious.
We put them on some yummy Hawaiian's King Rolls,
with some spinach, and some cilantro,
and the kids love it.
Kamri prefers to take a paper bag,
so she can just chuck it, the other three
like to reuse their lunch boxes, so
we're gonna go put them in their backpacks,
and their lunches will be set to go.
Now that lunches are done, it's time
to turn the attention to breakfast, for Dax and Pais,
Ry and Kamri do their own, so they usually
take care of their own stuff in the morning,
but breakfast for the babies is up to me,
and you can see they're not down yet.
- [Shaun] Okay, Sweet Pea, what do we do next?
- Make our bed.
- [Shaun] Make your bed, alright lets go.
(zipping)
- [Mindy] Today we have apple streusel or blueberry,
and some fruit and yogurt, and we'll give them some
milk or something to drink with it,
and we'll be set with our breakfast.
Good morning, Rylan
- Good morning.
- [Mindy] So, you're dressed, is your room done?
- Yeah.
- [Mindy] Bed made?
- Yep.
- [Mindy] You ready to go do hair.
- Yeah.
- [Mindy] Okay, let's do it.
- So we are doing boxer braids, in my hair, today.
- Yes, pull it back and get it out of your way, right?
- Yeah.
- Rylan's doing her own hair about half the time now
'cause she's starting to learn how to do it,
so today I'm doing it, but other days sometimes she does it.
- [Shaun] These guys love their Beddy's beds.
Watch how easy it is.
(zipping)
Boom. Okay, and that's how we get dressed in the morning.
Right guys? And if you guys like those beds,
where can you find them?
- Beddys.com
- [Shaun] Beddys.com, you can find the link

What are you doing?
- Good morning
- [Shaun] Good morning.
- Oh, Paisley, we need to do your hair too.
- [Shaun] Let's see, what are you gonna eat?
This looks like a pretty good breakfast.
Can I have some?
- [Paisley] You can have one of my
- [Shaun] Can I have all of it?
- Here you go.
- [Shaun] Can I have all of it? Thank you, Sweet Pea.
Where's Kamri?
- She's coming.
- [Shaun] Kamri, I haven't seen you.
Do I need to bring the spray bottle up?
Oh, there she is. Good morning, Sunshine.
How are you?
Do you just always wake up this beautiful?
Oh, nice.
(laughing)
Her hair's stuck to the fridge.
She gets those genes from her mom right?
- Yeah
- [Shaun] Okay, alright well who's on piano?
Somebody needs to get on piano.
This is always the slowest part of our morning.
Eat, eat, eat, eat faster guys, faster.
'Cause the bus comes at about ten after seven,
and it's almost seven right now.
Do you have shoes on, at least?
Yeah, we go shoes on
- [Mindy] Okay, good.
Okay, dishes away quick.
Let's go do your hair.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- So my mom is doing Paisley's hair, right now.
- Making sure her scalp's moisturized,
with our oil and water mix. Oh, Paiseys.
And then we're gonna pull it back a little bit,
so it's out of her face today, huh.
- [Shaun] Here we go, here's the school bus. Go ahead.
- Bye
(dog barking)
- So, we are making progress.
I'm in my gym clothes, getting ready to go to the gym.
Kamri, right here, is making a smoothie,
for her morning breakfast.
- Look how bad this strawberry is.
- Well throw it away, don't eat it. That's gross.
So yeah, we have four down, and two to go.
- Four down, two to go, and then
we have some downtime with no kids.
- We just remembered that Kam's gotta go to school early,
so I'm gonna jump in the car and
take Kamri to school, and then I'm off to the gym.
Paise is staying here with Shaun,
and she's gonna get dropped off at preschool later.
And we're out. Peace.
- [Shaun] Paisley
- What?
- [Shaun] You are in so much trouble.
Do you know why you're in trouble?
- Yes.
- [Shaun] Why are you in trouble?
- Because I took all the pretty from the pretty jar.
- [Shaun] Because you what?
- I took all the pretty from the pretty jar.
You took all the pretty from the pretty jar.
That's exactly right.
Oh okay, you gonna give me kisses?
- Uh hun
- Alright ready, let's give me kisses.
Mwah, awe.
- I love Daddy 'cause he's my best friend.
I like him 'cause I like to watch
- You like me. Yeah we get to spend about a half an hour,
forty five minutes, every morning while Mindy's
at the gym, before I take her to preschool.
Then I get in to go do my work.
'Cause he's my favorite.
- Awe, did you hear that, Mindy.
Say it again.
- 'Cause he's my favorite.
- Awe, Mindy, I hope you're watching.
Let's say it again.
- 'Cause he's my favorite.
- Bye.
Hey, what are we doing right now, Sweetie?
- We're picking up Ben, and then we're off to preschool.
- We're picking up Ben, and then
we're gonna be off to preschool.
