Our Day - part 2 (finally)

So...finally...here's our day after lunch. Generally, after lunch, Nathan gets back to schoolwork. This day, it was reading a book with Mommy - well, Mommy reading.


In the meantime, the girls occupy themselves. Some days they watch tv and other days they just play.


Then Nathan moves on to piano. He practices 15 - 30 minutes each day. Lately, he's been learning hymns.


While he's practicing, I get Sara down for her nap.


...and Caroline starts her down time.


Nathan usually gets a little more schoolwork in before his down time. This day he was working on some sign language.


There's not a picture of Nathan's down time. He usually has 45 minutes of school reading and then some free down time. It's not unusual for him to read longer than required. After downtime he finishes up about 30 minutes of school. This day he was working on a program to allow kids to create simple computer programs/games.


Once everybody is up, they usually spend the afternoon playing. Here they are rolling up in their quilts. I have no idea what they were this day.


After Daddy gets home, we eat supper. Apparently I didn't actually cook this day (we don't usually have sandwiches and salad for supper).


The evening involves any number of activities (which is part of the reason this post took so long to put together). The vast majority of the time this includes cleaning.


Eventually the kids get ready for bed...put on their pj's, go potty...


...brush teeth...


...read their Bible stories and pray (usually everybody would be on the couch together)...


...and head to bed by 8:00.


The End.
