A peek at our morning.

We started school August 8th. I took some videos so you could see how it works.

Before breakfast the boys are to get dressed, make their bed and brush their teeth. They are also responsible for helping their buddies if they need it. During this time I am making breakfast, nursing Gideon, making my bed and getting dressed.

We do devotions in the morning after breakfast. We sing, pray, read the Bible and talk. It is a great opportunity for them to ask all those questions kids come up with during the day. Today we talked about Uncles and Gramas. We counted 25 uncles!

Gideon goes to bed about half way through devos.


Then we do our chores. First we put away the laundry, then we all go to our separate jobs. Elijah cleans the bathrooms, Samuel does the laundry and wipes off the table, Josiah is the dishwasher, Luke clears the table and is the dish rinser, Silas picks up the living room and dries the dishes. During this time I am helping whoever needs help. Titus makes a general nuisance of himself at this point. His job is playing with toys which isn't very interesting I guess.

After chores we start school.


Now its lunchtime.

See ya later!

Wow Robin,
What a household you have. I don't know how you do it. Koodos to you for keeping them all on track and learning.

Chris and I very much enjoyed the butter story. That made us laugh so hard. Brings back memories of our own altercations with vasaline and a little girl I was not so happy with.
