We had only 4 days of summer vacation and daddy was off 2 of the days and we all know what that does to a schedule. I do have a list on the computer that needs to be finalized. Hope LOVES lists and will assign chores if I let her. This summer Joe and Hope are responsible for the laundry...Joe gets the guys and Hope gets the ladies. Hope the towels and Joe the table linens. I hate schedules, but you are right these older kids need routine otherwise they just sit around and read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103378389155773502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-81548889376799079182013-05-29T14:04:19.997-05:002013-05-29T14:04:19.997-05:00Well, I will admit to downing more than my share o...Well, I will admit to downing more than my share of coffee before those little piggies hit the floor running...and since I'm also babysitting 3 more little ones this week...coffee is my buddy. My kids have chores they have to do daily. I think everyone does better with structure...and yes...a worksheet here and there are handed out to keep them from forgetting what they have learned.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521167090058001464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-6806533141443844322013-05-29T13:32:10.068-05:002013-05-29T13:32:10.068-05:00Katie and I love lists too.

I don't know if the schedule is more for the kids or for me. lol!<br /><br />In the summer we have a pool pass, y membership, zoo pass as well as passes to historical museums and the kids science center. We have to keep a schedule too: 7-7:30 breakfast math/reading from 7:30-9, 9-10 Morning Chores,10:30 we hit the pool (if momma doesn't get there at opening for a chair in the shade she is not happy. lol!). We head home from the pool around 3, shower and get ready for piano, gymnastics, cheer dance and football. Then it is time for the evening shuffle to all of the above place. <br /><br />Once a week we have a play group that meets at the park, Katie now has speech on Tuesday for an hour, Jus has OT for dysgraphia and Cam has reading tutoring. All of those things are scheduled on Tuesday so we do not go to the pool on Tuesday. We also plan "field trips" at least once a week with 3 of my best girls friends and their kids. We always pack a lunch and invade some local place with our 15 kids. They love that. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830460609121133344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-79211257270126069822013-05-29T11:00:20.004-05:002013-05-29T11:00:20.004-05:00Well, this summer is odd because my husband got a ...Well, this summer is odd because my husband got a new job with weird hours. He leaves mid morning and gets home after she's in bed. I also only have 2 at home; a 16 year old boy and a soon to be 9 year old daughter. <br /><br />So, Tues-Thurs-Sat we do Math and Reading. Tues afternoons we have hands on science club at the library. Tues evening is softball. Mon eve and Thurs eve she's in martial arts. Sun evening softball practice. Sun morning is church. We're buying a 3rd car in the fall so she and I aren't stranded all of the time. Teen boy has summer school in the mornings. Our district runs summer school like college. You can take classes in the summer so you don't have to find time for it in the year, so he's taking PE for the month of June. He also works and has a girlfriend, so he's a shadow that comes in and eats a ridiculous amount of food. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
