Planning today: I think we will be making the big move today! Everyone will be under the same roof!
We finished the final coat of paint on two rooms so I think that will be our family work project for this morning. My ambition? Done by 11. Reality? Maybe by dinner :).
...because, you know, I also want to organize the basement, take down the tent we have been living in, and set up the tramp in its place so I can have that room in my "temporary kitchen." (Tova hates that I call it the "mudroom" when it is where we have had to cook and prepare most of our meals over the past couple months :).)
So this is what our "schedule" looks like on an average day...lately. In fact, it is ours for today :).
SCHEDULE
Breakfast (no time listed...I am not that ambitious this morning)--eggs and toast
Kids do basics, jobs, and post personal study schedules
(listed on side) JOBS
(the first one done with their basics and schedule get to pick their job first)
-help take down tent
-help set up tramp
-vacuum out windows and rooms and move excess construction stuff where it goes
-clean up breakfast (including washing dishes and garbages)
-organize basement with mom (dreaded job of all)
Tova has laundry as her area of stewardship
9 am devotional: Hava (6) in charge
Family reading from "Water Castle"
Move rooms!
Take Tova to buy a bike with Xai? (other kids study, play, etc.)
Lunch-Meat sandwiches
Quiet time--snuggle and read books :)!
Read from next chapter of anatomy aloud
Tova to another bike store?
2:30 Tova leaves for work
Dinner: Chinese Chicken Salad
Pack Meeting/Mutual/Scouts
MOM's list
Scripture, journal, ensign article
call local lady
email list of philosophical books to friend Brenda in Utah
Send card for visiting teaching and do some visits if time (I have 6 ladies to visit...I may do some tomorrow. My companion just had a baby and some of these ladies have not been contacted in a long time. So fun! Missionary work!)
Buy orange juice (forgot at last shopping trip)
Find out where to register for homeschooling in NY
Just a glance~I leave a lot of time unscheduled from my end, because most of it gets taken up helping the kids with their personal goals.
Personal goals example:

Personal goals example:
Lily: Math, Duolingo, Family History, build cat house (for future cat), draw bugs.
Drew: multiplication review, algebra, 5 chapters of History of US (short and awesome), 5 laps.
Maia (4): eat, play on swing, be good, play games with Lily, Devotional, Maia went pee in her panties and told mom. (the last schedule was written for Maia by Piper (8) and was mostly in pictures so that is a loose translation .)
