Are you ready for school?

Are we? Who knows but school is coming one way or another.



I have mostly put our daily schedule together and have worked out the timeline for all school material. Just have to finish integrating Elizabeth into the family plan and work out chore routines and we will be ready to go. I had wanted to have the kids start their at 6am but since we have been sleeping in so much this summer I decided to just make it 7am instead.



I had orginally planned to school throughout the summer but there has been too much going on and with Todd home, currently unemployed I didn't want to take time away from him.



It is going to be a culture shock for the kids when we start on Aug 31st since we haven't done any real schedule this summer. I have started working on their life skills so that the summer was not a total waste. They now each have a meal where they are the helper and are expected to have the table set and ready to go for their particular meal. This has been very helpful to me since I was usually still getting waters and such as the kids were ready to eat.



Took the last couple of days to go through the kids clothes and weed out things that don't fit, figure out what we need to get for the fall. We are planning to take advantage of the TX tax free weekend this weekend.

Another day in the life. The boys love to play with their sisters and the girls love to play in our dog bed. It has been a favorite for all our children, have no idea why. I will try and post a picture and documentation of every day over the next school year. My children's youth is going too quickly and it needs to be better documented.
