I'm looking forward to having unscheduled time with the girls (our first summer together as a family!) But I still want and need to have some sort of a routine so we aren't in our pajamas until 1:00 pm everyday.
Here is the basic schedule I came up with. Its just a guideline, so it's flexible.
8:00 wake up + eat breakfast + get ready
9:30 phonics + reading
10:00 activity/outing
beach * lake * water park * pool * library *zoo * bake * craft
12:00 lunch
sandwiches (goat cheese & red pepper * tomato * turkey * tuna)
soy chips + fruit + chocolate pretzels + iced tea (milk for girls)
1:00 nap
3:00 play + housework + errands
5:00 start dinner
6:00 dinner + bible in backyard
bbq + salad + fresh fruit
7:00 walk alfred
7:30 bath
8:15 quiet play
9:00 bed time
What have you got planned for your summer?

You are almost done with school?!? I am so jealous. I love your scheduled--but not too scheduled--plan for summer. I think it is the perfect mix of work and play.
My plan is to read, read, read, then nap, eat ice cream, and hang out with friends and family. I have a stack of books I can't wait to dive into. I had to put myself on book-restriction because I was buying too many books. Once I finish my current stack I give myself permission to purchase a few more.
Ummm... staying in our pajamas until 1:00? :)
I just found your blog and had a lovely visit. I am an aspiring homeschooler and will be starting preschool with my daughter this Fall.
I'm leaving for Canada in a few weeks. So excited! Then I'm working for the summer. That's okay though!
I love that schedule...can I be part of your routine for the summer it sounds much better than mine...which is work M-F - enjoy the weekends. Take a week off in July and go to Maine.
Our schedule is very similar to yours...with one change.
I go the gym at 8 with the kids and then we come home and clean house...do chores...and then have our beach, pool, library...whatever play time. I find that if I do the outing in the am...then I don't feel like cooking or cleaning when we get home...I am too tired from the hot sun. We are usually at the beach by 12 and stay until 4.
I can't beleive we are done teaching in two days! YEAH!
makes me want to come over for goat cheese, iced tea and quiet play!
your lunch ideas are making me hungry!
