OUR (SOMEWHAT) DAILY ROUTINE

Our schedule can vary wildly depending on various church activities we have going on and things that can come up for Daddy (who is the Pastor).   Our children, I think, are by nature night owls but it doesn't help that at least a couple of nights a week we don't get home until after nine.  I joke that the boys put Mom and Dad to bed.  But here is our main framework.

8:30   
Get Up and Dressed, throw load of laundry in. 
Make coffee and get juice for kids.

9:00
Snuggle Time with Mom on Couch
Mom's Bible Reading and Devotion Time
Break up Fights if child on one side of Mom touches child on other side of Mom.

9:30  (or as soon as I can extricate myself w/out complaints)  
Make breakfast and Eat. 
 During this time we have our Bible time.  We read one story from Read and Rhyme Bible Storybook and and review Munchky's memory verse from Sunday School.  We read the same story for the entire week.  Sometimes we break it down or we just focus on one aspect each day. 

10:00
Free Play
Clean Up and Laundry

10:30 
Tot School

12:30
Lunch

1:00
Nap/Quiet Time
Mom Time/Cleaning

3:30
Outside Play /Playground

5:30
Dinner Time

6:30
This is our most fluid time.  As we may have different things going on depending on the week/season
Time with dad/free play/playground
or
Sports night (dad and/or mom depending on season)/Wed Night Prayer Meeting/Church Activity

9:30 
Get Ready for Bed/Bath

10:00
Kid's to Bed 
I know some of you are fainting, but this is when I get them in bed, they often don't fall asleep until 11 or 12 or....)
