Evening Routine Is It Bed Yet

Does it ever feel like the day just slows down? Time almost stops when your waiting for it to fly by? Evening just blurr together, especially on the nights mommy needs a shower haha.

Hello and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis for another routine blog! This one is our evening one! This tends to be the busiest time of the day!

I'm not sure if it's because everyone is home now, or if it is because mama is ready for her day to end lol!
Either way evening can get long and I tend to need my routine to stay on track for this time of day!

What does an evening look like in our house of 6!

My evening routine is roughly from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm. This is yes counting my relax time ideally from 9:30/10:00 - 11:00.
I try to be tucked in bed around 11:00 pm, as 5:30 am comes oh so fast!

With the evening we start it at say 6:00 pm at supper! Supper comes and goes, then comes dishes, clean the table off, get the kitchen wiped down and a quick sweep! This usually will run us close to sometime around 7:00-7:15 pm.

I will try to have homework done before supper, if that did not happen we then will finish off homework.
Showers and baths have to get going. The big kids can have theirs before or after supper depending on everything else.
As for the little ones I try to have them going in around 7:30-8:00. We don't bath them together as Dawsyn the youngest is still in the baby tub.

If time is permitting my daughter Valary the oldest and myself have been trying to stretch together. This only happens on a rare base!

I have been trying to get back into read aloud for the last 15 minutes at night, however just like everything it is harder then it sounds!

Then it's time for bed. I am currently in the middle of actually trying to get the young ones in bed for 8:30 now.
The big ones can have free time in their bedrooms, I ideally have them in bed for 9:00pm.
What is your kids bed time?
I was having everyone in bed at 9:00 however I'm greedy and would like bed time to come sooner. Also they are up early.

Dawsyn still gets nursed and snuggled for bed. Yes this will come to bite me in the butt, however it's also a reason for me to sit and chill with snuggles!

With all the kids in bed and chilling in their rooms, if there is a task that needs to be finished, without little ones around I will take 30 minutes to work on it. Example is getting my basement done!

With all of that it is then time for mama's time.
This is when I will sit in bed with my hubby, watch a  movie, hang out and chit chat.

Then just like that it's bed, unless I have already fallen asleep! Yes, this has been happening a little too much!

How does your evening go?
Got a standard routine?
Do you stick to it?

I try to just because a clean house is addicting haha, I love waking up for my coffee and day with a "fairly" clean house.

With that, that's it, that's all! That is the last routine in my house! If you haven't read seen the other routines be sure to head over and read about the morning and afternoon routines. I have added links at the bottom for them!

Till next week when a new adventure awaits!
