And We're Off...

Yesterday was our first day back to "First Things First" home school. We had a great day and I realized, once again, how happy we will all be with this year's curriculum choices. The boys are genuinely EXCITED, I am relieved and the pace will be so much less hectic. We have a tentative schedule that we are following, subject to change as needed.

Our possible schedule
6--Mom wakes up, works out, checks emails
7--Boys wake up, B cleans Sunshine's cage, everyone makes beds
7:30--Breakfast and Bible/devotions as a family, Dad leads (M, W, F), Mom leads (T, Th)
8-10--First class begins (rotate each boy through Math, Language, Spelling and Reading)
10--Break with snack, run outside to get wiggles out, etc.
10:30--Resume with all three boys together, History, Geography, Science, Art, Etc.
11:30--Finish up, lunch (W--pick up my niece at pre-school)
12-1--Free time (usually filled with Lego therapy)
1-3--QUIET TIME (the two choices are reading and/or napping)
3-5--More free time outside/etc. (while Mom catches up on business and dinner) (M, W, F)
3-5--Soccer for twins, golf and free time for B (T, Th)
5--Dinner/Clean up
6-8--Free time outside and/or homework
8:15--Prepare for bed
8:30--Lights out (C, J)
9--Lights out (B)
10--Lights out for Mom (this is a MUST if I'm going to be able to walk 4 miles at 6 a.m.)

We will see how it goes! It's just a plan.
