A typical homeschool day…6 months ago
Ξ February 1st, 2010 | → 1 Comments | ∇ Everyday Stuff |
Our typical day has changed so much this year that I wanted to write down what our days USED TO be like before I forget!
Before this year we had no legal requirement to do any school. Chloe was in kindergarten and Luke wasn’t ready to sit and do any preschool activities. Often the kids would wake up and start playing and they’d get along so well that we wouldn’t even do any school! When we did, the day went like this:
7:00am- Stumble groggily out of bed while three kids jump up and down excitedly telling me they are hungry.
7:05-8am- Feed us all and drink copious amounts of caffeine.
8-9am- Kids get dressed and do morning chores. I drink more coffee and check email and blog. Maybe do a few household chores and get dressed in workout clothes.
9-10:30am- Read history with Chloe, help her with math, handwriting and phonics. Get interrupted many times by Luke and Audrey asking if Chloe can come play with them or they can watch tv. Finally give up on school when the interruptions get to be too much.
10:30am- Give the kids a snack and let them play.
12:00- Lunch
1-3- Nap and (not so) Quiet time for kids. My workout and time for Bible devotions/prayer. Some days even a shower!
3-5- Errands, house cleaning, playing outside with the kids, blogging (wow, I had so much blogging time back then!) reading with the kids, etc.
5-7- Dinner prep/eating/clean up
8- kids to bed, my time for tv, scrapbooking, blogging, reading…
Sometime between 11pm and 1am I went to bed.
Tomorrow I’ll post our current schedule. The day starts much earlier, ends at the same time and yet somehow there’s no blogging on the list anywhere!

May I say that you have quite an appealing style of writing!
