Today is prep day and a light school day. We will finish up our school this morning, clean house and I will prepare our meals for Sabbath tomorrow. We also have plans to visit a farm, so lots to squeeze in in one day! I will start by making bread this morning and grilling chicken for parmesan chicken pasta. Then I will start school with Malachi. Eliana's school today will be Five in a Row activities only.
Eating toast. |
Jordan's school books on the kitchen counter. |
Luke reading Augustus Caesar's World (MFW History) to the boys. |
Malachi reading on of our weather books - we won't get to this one today! |
Schooling in pajamas. =) |
9:00-10:00 Grill chicken and cube. Nathan clean kitchen, I clean the bathroom, Dylan working on school (LL, 6-Traits Writing), Jordan cleaning his room, finish school with Mali and Elli (for now). Jordan still cleaning his room, Nathan doing science.
Hanging up his clean clothes - the boys put away their own laundry! |
Nathan working on his Critical Thinking. |
10:30-11:30 Shape bread, make cinnamon rolls; Mali is working on his writing, find a recipe for monkey bread for all the extra dough I made; Elli drawing; Jordan on computer; Nathan helping me in the kitchen, Dylan finishing his school; I water my wilting plant and pick off the dying leaves, then bake bread.
11:30-12:00 Make monkey bread and clean up . . . I should mention that the monkey bread carmel sauce leaked through the pan and covered the bottom of my oven. So, I took the bread out and put on the self-clean. . . and the oven lit on fire and then smoked us all out of the kitchen! I set up fans to blow the smoke out. The whole house smells like burnt sugar! The monkey bread was okay, though. =)
12:00-1:00 Lunch break (leftovers), I sneak in a short bible study, Mr. G is working upstairs (he is normally not here on Fridays to help, but helps us deep clean on Sunday instead. This week he has a training all day on Sunday, so will be on our own), Mali and Elli make themselves a snack - plain yogurt flavored with strawberry jam.
1:00-2:00 Luke is outside working on the trucks, baby is in stroller while he works; I think about what we will row next week, then clean; boys do their chores.
Cleaning out their boxes is a weekly chore. |
Dylan find his missing math notebook! It was BEHIND his box, imagine that! |
Jordan cleaning the living room - and vacuuming with a broken vacuum. |
Three Names next and continue on with our weather unit! I love how this worked out. . . Three Names is next on my projected list AND we will study tornados! Tornados will be an extension of our weather unit. I may even throw in the lesson on Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs that we didn't get to. =) It is not necessary, but it is NICE to tie in one row with another - somehow. I am sure that is just my little quirk though!
3:00-5:00 Field trip, take a loaf of bread for the family we are visiting, pick up milk on way home. . .
When we rowed How to Make An Apple Pie and See the World, I really, really wanted to visit a farm! Now, we had the chance to visit a small, but a very busy little farm.
6:00-7:00 Dinner and clean up, nurse Bo and lay him down for bed at 6:45.
7:00-8:00 Family time for erev Shabbat!
{Our Sabbath looks very much like our rest day this week. This Sabbath, Luke took the kids to the park and gave me a much needed quiet time!}
On Sunday, Luke works all day. I will plan for our next row, finish up any leftover projects and do housework.
Here is how I planned for our row this week, and our row!
