Another blog hop

and this weeks theme - "A Day in the Life Week" from over at Heart of the Matter. What follows, is a tentative schedule of our days. There are so many variables, that can make it change. So here's what a day looks like around here:

• breakfast
• get ready for the day
• few chores
• school - in random order, we change it around to keep it fun
• possible free time if school is finished early
• lunch
• finish up school, if needed
• extra activities (field trip, nature walk, fun stuff, bikes, scooters, library, etc.)
• errands, if any are needed
• straighten up some before dinner
• dinner
• family devotions
• free time
• bed time routine (showers, reading, etc.)
• lights out

Do you like how I don't list times? I've found that if I try to keep strictly to a clock, some things get missed, for example, when they're really getting something and want to do more or almost finished and just need a few more minutes. That's an advantage of homeschooling, being able to give a bit more time when needed. We do have general guide lines, however, for when things should happen. For example, we try to get a bulk of our school finished during the morning hours. We also try to keep lights out around 8:30 to 9:00.

That's our life, in a nutshell!
