Our Daily Schedule

I know when I was researching the idea of homeschooling, I really wanted to know what a typical day looked like. At the time I wasn't aware of all these fantastic blogs so I really didn't find much. I'm very structured and I NEED to know what's coming up, I don't do well with last minute things...I've gotten better though, my friends can vouch for that.

So I thought today I would let you see how we run our "typical" day.

6:30am I'm up and getting on the treadmill for my mile jog/walk while watching Netflix on our iPad.
7:00am Warrior wakes up and showers
7:15-7:45am Pinky and Cobalt wake up somewhere between these times.
7:30am I shower while Warrior is home, I'm a little OCD I have to take a shower within an hour of waking up.
8:00am Breakfast
8:30am Get ready for the day {brush teeth, get dressed, fix hair etc}
9:00am School starts. Pinky begins her handwriting while I sit with Cobalt getting him ready for nap time.
What we do during school time {we don't do everything each day}
Calendar and Weather
Character Study/Bible Time
Spelling
Life Skills and snack
Language Arts
PE
Math
Art
Reading
Game
11:30am Free time and I start lunch
12:00pm Lunch at home with Warrior
12:30pm I clean up and the kids watch Clifford
1:00pm Outside time {weather permitting} if the weather is not good they play in one of their rooms
1:30pm The kids watch Barney
2:00-4:00pm Nap time for Cobalt and Reading/Rest time for Pinky. During their naps I try to get some housework done, do some blogging but generally it's my only down time so I take FULL advantage of it.
4:00pm The kids wake up have a snack and play
4:30pm I start dinner
5:00pm The kids go outside till Daddy gets home {again weather permitting}
5:30pm I try to have dinner done and on the table.
6:00-7:30pm Family time
7:30pm Warrior gives the kids a bath while I clean up the living room then I get Cobalt dressed for bed
8:15pm Cobalt goes to bed, Warrior reads Pinky a book
8:30pm Pinky goes to bed and we pray before lights are out
8:30-10:30pm Ruby and Warrior time!

So in a nutshell that's what a normal day looks like in our house. However, we rarely have normal days...so I get this day just about three times a week. I'm looking forward to having more of these days though...and then Summer will be here and everything changes again!

How are your days structured?
