Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Dropping Lincoln Off at School Makes Us Scream “Nerd Alert!”

But like any mom with school-aged kids, Kristen told POPSUGAR that getting your children out of the door on time boils down to a well-scripted morning routine — despite how challenging establishing one can be.

"Usually I try to get them dressed because they're in the bedroom, so we might as well knock a couple things off our list that happen in the bedroom. Then it's breakfast," she said. "Then they have about a half-hour of playtime while I feed the dog, brush my teeth, put some semblance of sunscreen and pants on to attend preschool."

The busy mom also added that wrangling her daughters and getting them into the car safely is no easy feat:

"Getting them in the car is really the hardest part because once those kids have woken up and rediscovered their thirst for life like they do every morning, they're just running in circles, and I'm like 'Stop, stop, stop. Put your seatbelt on. Put your seatbelt on. Put your shoes back on. Put them back on. Take her shoes off and put yours back on. No, put your lunch away, we're not at school yet.'"

Thankfully, Kristen explained she has a way to get her daughters to spill the beans about their day at school: by explaining to them why she's even asking in the first place.

"Do you know why we ask you about your day? I ask you about your day and I ask Daddy about his day because we've been separated for a few hours and I wonder how you're feeling . . . if you experienced something today you want to talk about," Kristen told POPSUGAR. "Also because I'm interested and it gives us a chance to reconnect to each other. That's why people ask one another about their day. It also makes the other person that's being asked feel very good and valued. It's a nice way to show you love someone."
