I love seeing how other families plan their days. What stuff do they do? How do they organize their kids? Do they ever get done with dishes and laundry?
So in the interest of transparency here is a typical day right now, in February, in 2010, with a 6 and 8 year old. Because as we all know typical changes -often!
Sometime between 8 and 9 am: The kids get up, lay on the sofa watching TV, drinking chocolate milk, eating cereal.
8:30-ish: I get up and have breakfast, cuddle the kids, review our plans for the day.
9 -ish: Pull out all the school books, make 3 piles (Boyo, Girlie, and both) and start school.
12:00 : Take a break for lunch Usually by this time Girlie is done with all her workbook work.
12:30: Back to school concentrating on whatever subjects the kids have to do together (science, unit studies) When Girlie is done, she goes to put away laundry, empty dishwasher, clean bedroom etc. then she can play. Boyo goes finishes up whatever else he has to do.
1:30 : School is usually over and we can head for the library or to speech class or run errands.
4:30: Home from errands or whatever and the neighbor girl calls. Kids go out to play and I get a break.
5:00: Contemplate dinner, clean up the house, get on the computer, etc.
6:00-ish: Kids home, Dinner time, Hubby comes home too.
8:00: Kids sent off to playroom to watch movies or read books or play quietly.
10:00: Lights out for the kids.
12-1: Bed time for me.
I am not strict about a schedule other then we have a set amount of work to get though each day. When that work is done- the kids can go play. This works for us. It may not work for another family, and that is ok too.
