Good Morning!
I start my mornings at 4am.
We usually have some form of protein, a carb and some fruit.
My husband always makes a big pot of peppermint tea, which I appreciate immensely.
I jump on my stationary bike for a half hour.
Our Homeschool Day
We run a pretty structured day here in the Cooley house.
The boys usually begin with literature, math and language arts.
Those are pretty self-contained activities.
After our break,I read from our science book while they take notes in their notebooking journals.
I often stop reading to help them determine what is important to write down.
For lunch, we have leftovers or I make something from scratch.
Again, we make a run at have a carb, a vegetable and a protein.
On nice days, they play football or jump on the trampoline.
They also love to play chess or cards.
And they love to wrestle.We usually end up with wrestling in there somewhere.
Its not my favorite activity, but I dislike chasing the boys around the house yelling, Dont wrestle!
even more than I dislike the wrestling itself.
Plus, the couches always need to be re-assembled.
Every once-in-a-while, I abandon chores and write some more.
Deadlines always trump dust.
My husband seems to understand as long as theres food and clean clothes available.
I read aloud for at least an hour each day while the boys draw or build.
He just figured out he can jump about 2 1/2 feet straight up in the air.
Greek tends to be the class that we lose if were short on time.
Those days, we wrap up a little early.
Lately, my ten-year-old has been asking to help with the dinner prep.
Hes a great sous chef.
We have dinner when my husband arrives home.
