I was going to name this post "Last Week of Summer" but then I remembered that summer, technically, goes into September.
However, this is the last week that the kids are on summer break. Here's what's happening:
E: work (only a couple of days this week), XC training (daily), violin (lesson + daily practice), schoolwork (he is still working through Frankenstein), working on his model (WWII battleship), researching 3D printer (he is saving up to buy one), chores around the house.
H: piano (lesson + daily practice), schoolwork (finishing up the required reading and write-up), daily chores.
C: cello (lesson + daily practice), schoolwork (finishing up school math and doing some extra math workbooks), reading, a new puzzle, chores.
Self: work, cook, laundry, read.
Husband: work, cook, clean, read.
I try to get all the kids outside. They go to the pool. They have a list of chores they need to get through before they get to have screentime. There is still way too much screentime but I also feel like this is their last week of break and they should get their fill of "doing nothing" (but I still feel guilty - even though I know it's ridiculous).
Goals for this week: play outside with kids even if it's just 20 minutes, go for a walk, play board games, be efficient at work.
Goals for this weekend: not sure yet!
Woohoo last week of August! It looks like you have the plan for activities, all in its place. Now just get into routines and adjust as necessary. We are doing piano+gymnastics for L and jiu jitsu and gymnastics for R; that is enough I think, they are still little...
ReplyDeleteActually, everything just got completely thrown off by one of my kids getting on the rock climbing team and another on a swim pre-team :) So it may be pure madness this fall/winter. And our last year's carpool arrangement for E's orchestra rehearsals (45 min drive each way) is out because the friend is no longer doing it... We'll see how it will all play out.
