Still Plugging Away

I can't  believe it has been a month since I last posted here. Time is flying by and the school year is going to be over before we know it!

We still haven't found a great way of getting our mornings running smoothly and next year all 3 of my kids will be going to school!  My husband has suggested that they should be required to get all their chores done before getting to eat breakfast and I think that is something to certainly try. I'm just worried that they'll end up going to school without breakfast, but he doesn't think that will happen.  It's not like they have a lot to do before school...just the basic things. They need to put away their PJs, make their bed, brush their hair and feed the pets. Then we could do breakfast and finish up with brushing their teeth right before leaving.  The more I think about it, the more I like it.

My kids are probably not going to like the idea, but it really might make our mornings run smoother.  I think we'll have to talk about it tonight during Family Home Evening and get started with it tomorrow.

Our afternoon schedule is still working out well. Some days the kids get to play video games/computer time and others they decide to not finish their chores and they don't get to. I'm still working on the not nagging part because I'd always like their chores done, but this is still the best afternoon routine we've tried so we are going to stick with it.

I guess it is time to start thinking about morning and afternoon routines for the summer time!
