Summer is...
Lazy, slow mornings.
This is from last week. I thought it was cute that instead of getting up and playing, as they usually do, all the kids lay down in front of the TV to wake up a bit. It didn't take them long to get up and go. I'm glad I got this moment.
Our summer schedule has gone a little like this...
7-7:30 wake up (on my lucky days we get up @ 8)
(Some mornings I'm up @ 5:45 to get my run in before M heads out, other days I wait till he gets home)
8:30 get ready, make beds, brush teeth, change diapers
9:00 breakfast
after breakfast - read scriptures, family prayer
10:00 work - pull weeds, clean bathrooms, fold laundry, empty garbages, dishwasher things of that nature
11:00 play time for all! The kids play and I have time to do my various things. If we need to go run errands it's during this time.
12:30 lunch
1:00 nap time,quiet time or pool time depending on the day
(again free time for me!!! Yahoo! Of course after I've swept, wiped and cleaned up lunch)
We usually get going again in the 3:00 hour.
Play, play, play
5:00 some school worksheets, reading
Dinner is around 6:00 and before that the kids get the table ready and sometimes help w/ dinner.
7:00 is sometimes bath time, some days it's later
8:00 bedtime, again, some days it isn't until 9 or 10 for the older kids.
