Chatting at pickup time

[Crayola kiddies]

yes get a gate !!!!! and ....Have the child dressed and ready to go sitting on the floor or on a small chair by the door and when mom walks in say " oh heres mom now ....well you have a terrific night/weekend and ill see you tomorrow/Monday." .....if that doesn't work arrange for your hubby to call you from his cell to your home phone and when the phone rings say "oh I better get that you have a nice night " and walk away and chat on the phone ...... or just say "i really like chatting with you but I really have to get dinner on the table as the kids are hungry at this time of day so I need to make pickups a little quicker"
