Working out our new schedule

Okay, so I didn’t get my Household Management Binder completely done.  It’s alright!  We began our new cleaning routines this week, and while it will take more than a week for it all to become shiny and new, we can see a GREAT BIG difference already!

Next week we will slowly start back to school, at the advice of my Dizzle.  She is SO RIGHT!  but then again, she ALWAYS is.  I tell you she knows everything!  We will start by adding our readings to our new cleaning schedule next week, and continue to add copywork and math and everything else weekly from there.  This is HARD for me!  I always wanna dive right in and conquer it all TODAY!  but it is GOOD advice, because we never stick to the schedule when we attack it that way. 

My Allen was such an encouragement from the very first day as he went around saying, “I LOVE this new schedule!  I only hope we will STICK to it this time!”  Mouths of babes, huh?  He loves going to my binder and opening to his list of daily chores.  He does them on his own and then is FREE to enjoy some “masterly inactivity”!  My two youngest boys have pitched in well without complaint.  Knowing what’s expected of them each day up front has been a huge help in this, I’m sure.

As for Little Miss Hazel, the poor gal has been a BEAR for a good month now.  She’s getting FOUR molars in at once!  NO WONDER!  She still has enjoyed wiping things down with her little cloth.  ~smile~
