Our days have been odd lately. The kids got so independent this summer and I started spending more time on the computer.
I've been making more of an effort lately, and watching a baby who requires me to be unplugged more often. So, that is going well for me. Also, I think Summer is more down time for us where Winter seems to be more about production for me. Right now:
Wake up
Breakfast/check email and message boards/Kids Free play (Sofi tends to wake up anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours before Walter so a lot of this time is waiting for him to wake up too)
Everyone return to the upstairs to dress, fix hair, brush teeth
Back down stairs for cleaning, daily to-dos, and kids play time.
Snack
Play a bit more
Lunch
Further play time/cleaning or outings. We have been able to do more morning outings recently too, though.
Afternoon snacks
More play time
Dinner
Hanging out with Daddy
Snacks and then bed
That seems like a lot and very little structure typing it out!
I'm working on having a more rigid cleaning schedule and less computer time. Since the kids have spent so much time playing this summer, I've spent much more time just checking in to see what is going on. I need to put down the keyboard and pick up the knitting needles more!
I'm also working on adding in a circle time, but I'm going to really watch our schedule and figure out where I can make it stick instead of just putting it in here one day and there the next.
Monday we watch Saigeley and do our Monday cleaning
Tuesday we do more family oriented things (crafts, appointments, library runs), and do our Tuesday cleaning
Wednesday we watch Saigeley. This is a recent change. My mother's helper was coming on Wednesday and it was my work day. Now, my mother's helper has gone back to school and I'm trying to decide how I'm going to handle the change.
Thursday we do grocery shopping every other week and errands on the opposite week.
Friday is Knitting Play Group, watch Saigeley, and looking forward to the beginning of weekend!
Saturday we go to City Market while Daddy has school. Then home to hang out with Daddy and do weekend mayhem (we actually have mayhem scheduled into our routine. How is that for crazy?)
Sunday is more scheduled mayhem and getting ready for our week again!
