Sticking to the Schedule

A few weeks ago we decided to try something different. We created a schedule for each day of the week and so far it seems to be working pretty good. The kids don't whine as much when I announce it's time for lessons and picking up. They can look at the schedule and see what is supposed to happen and when.

Of course, there will be days when things have to be a little more flexible or we have to exchange one day's schedule for another. I am very happy so far with the results. I feel like I am accomplishing more and have more direction to the day.

Take a Hike




Today we took our cubscout pack on a hike at the nearby State Park. The weather was beautiful and we had a fun 2 mile hike. This was the first hike for some of the kids but they did great. The area was a little more hilly than we expected but it didn't bother the boys although it wasn't fun for the parents. Everyone packed a lunch and we ate beside the lake halfway down the trail.





After the hike we took them to a playground and they still had enough energy to play for awhile. Oh to be young and full of energy!
