TXBeth Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 First thing in the morning, I plan to have a "morning meeting" where we do devotions, calendar time, talk about the day, and read some poetry and stories together. I was calling it morning meeting, but I have a very rigid thinker, and they had a morning meeting, circle time, and calendar time when he was in K at the local school. So if our time wasn't exactly the same as theirs, we would have a meltdown. We are both going to have "coffee" although his will be milk or hot cocoa, which he is really excited about. So I think something like a coffee hour (but it's a half hour) might work. But I need some alliteration or beauty or cuteness or cleverness in the name of this time! So what should I call it?

Laura Corin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Elevenses? Or perhaps Nineses if it's first thing? Smackerel? (continuing the Winnie the Pooh theme) L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space station Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Together Time? Basket Bonding? Daily Delights? Start Strongly? Prayer, Poetry, and Passion? Can you tell I like alliteration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The children now ask "Have you had enough coffee to..." If they want me to do something or ask a complicated question early in the morning when I am still drinking coffee. My husband has not learned this yet... ðŸ˜ƒâ˜•ï¸ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in MD Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Our "Morning Time" often deteriorates into "Coffee & Chaos," I'm afraid...but we keep working at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Obviously not thinking very clearly or cleverly here… I got fixated on your heading for this post and could only think of the spoonerism "boffee casket" time…. :laugh: We just called it "Together Time". A friend called it "Daily Dailies". Because we did all of our miscellaneous things at that time, we should have called it "Odds & Ends" -- or more realistically: "Flotsam & Jetsom" ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaderbee Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 You could get all Victorian: Meeting of the Morning Minds Society- in which we elevate and order our souls and minds through the reading of the holy scriptures, recitation of the daily calendar, and enjoy fine poetry and prose over a warm beverage. ;) Or Star Treky: Morning Mind Meld- Boldly going where no minds should go before coffee. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsabelC Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 No idea but I LOVE the suggestions so far and might well plagiarize one of them. Oh and I am also guilty of answering tricky questions with "Uh, don't ask me that when I haven't had any hot drinks yet." (If anyone has seen the British television comedy series Outnumbered, the questions those kids ask are precisely the kind of questions my kids ask.)

TXBeth Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks, ladies! You are all awesome. DS (it is just me and DS6 at home this year) chose Coffee and Cuddles since we snuggle on the couch during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
