No more mom I'm board!
Do you remember when you were a kid and summer was all you thought about? Comparing summer plans with with your friends, making plans, day dreaming of late nights and fun in the sun!
When you came out of the day dream summer was over already and your mom was packing your school bag to head back already!
Summers have always been a fun, busy time. I imagine kids these days feel the same, however now that I'm not the kid and the mom, I understand more of why my mom did certain things in the summer.
Hi everyone and welcome back to another blog here on Classy Classic's By Kandis. I am a stay at home mom of 4 wonderful children full of more energy then the dang energizer bunny I tell ya.
With all of this energy they sure get "board" a lot in the summer! Boy oh boy, I thought I heard mom I'm board a lot with them in school, get the home for 24hrs a day, and you better have some stuff up the sleeve.
With how quick summer flys by, and having appointments in the city on average of twice a week this summer will sure be a different one. I am putting my ideas together to try to keep everyone happy this year. Children and husband for that matter!😂
I have a couple, ideas to share that I hope strike some ideas for you! With everyone wanting to do something, but seems lime never the same it can get hard to keep everyone happy.
The first thing that I am starting with is the routines. Let's talk summer routines!
I have this set up as there is to be no tv until at least 10am. This might get pushed a little later ro 11:00am.
Each routine should only take roughly 30-45 minutes depending on which time of day we are at.
Mornings are used to wake up the mind afternoon is to rest a little and evening is to clean up and relax! Mornings always seem to come so early in this house lol. I also still wake up or try to before the house wakes up.
However the kids routine starts around 7am and ends at roughly 10 pm ( for the older ones). Let's go through the routines and I'll share how I try to keep a summer as smooth and fun as I can.
As the kids are always hungry we start with breakfast, then the morning routine easy, eat, clear your dishes, wash up, make beds, get dressed, brush teeth.
Basic get ready, then they can do their exercises if they are board already, this is not quite ready but it is not much.... stay tuned for that.
There is a 10-10:30 Snack.
The afternoon is a quick tidy up, 15 min of math, reading, working in our adventure book for writing. This is at least 2-3 sentences a day or a paragraph a week.
With a snack between 3-4pm.
The evening is their zone cleaning, shower or rinse at least, clean the grubby feet up lol. Get ready for bed, there is a 8-9 pm snack for the 3 kiddos and a snack for the older kid's while they are watching a movie or tv chilling for sleep!
So there you have it, my summer schedule for the kids while on summer break.
None of it is hard, long or cruel haha.
I hope this has helped motivate you for surving summer.
Don't forget to take time for memories and smelling the flowers as before you know it they will be back at school, and we will be back in doors!
Happy summer prep and have a great week.
