how I plan to keep my sanity this summer

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Weekly themes! Every week will have a theme, such as dinosaurs, butterflies, ocean, etc. Each week we will do:
-a craft
-read a book
-watch a movie
-cook/bake
-have an outing
And all of these will relate to the theme. I dont have details on each week yet but I am definitely doing it.

I am also keeping quiet time sacred. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. they have 1 hour in their room to play quietly, read, nap, whatever while the baby sleeps. It keeps me sane.

I might suggest a "do Daddy's chores for him" theme. They can mow, trim, trim hedges, clean out from under the bushes, do fence repair, etc. They will gain a deeper appreciation of all the hard work I neglect.

HORRAY!!!! I'm trying to do something similar with my lunatics, but the weekly theme is a great idea! Gonna use that for sure. Really gotta get planning.... Thomas last day is next Wednesday!

Hey John- do you guys do allowance for Andrew? maybe you can pay him to help you out?

I know about the free movies. Did not know about the Mr. Richard shows. Is there a schedule?
