Once May hit the kids were already asking “Are we doing the summer schedule thing again?”
In a very whiny voice.
To which I answered a resounding “YES!”
I’ve had several friends ask about it so I’m copying it again below. We’ve tweaked it a bit from last year.
The first week Luke asked if he could do a particular activity during the quiet time after lunch.
“Yes. As long as it’s quiet and you’re NOT doing it in here.”
To which he said, “Soooooo, the summer schedule is REALLY for you and dad.”
BINGO!

| 8:30 – 10:00 | Free Play (outdoors while cool); possible outside chores |

You inspired me this last weekend. Erin and I are working on a schedule now too! Mothers of bored kids UNITE!
Hi Julie-
I found your profile on the adoption journey website because our profiles are the only two that come up for adoption complete in Arizona. While browsing through your blog I noticed that we have very similar interests. Debt free living, adoption, T4A, etc… Just wanted to say hi~! We just moved to the east valley in AZ from CA last Dec and are getting used to the heat right now 😉 Nice to meet you.
