As the days get longer I’m sensing a new rhthym to our routine. As spring sets in Sweet Peanut and I both decided we need to get up earlier to accomplish more (neither of us are morning people). Our normal pattern is to wake etc. have a very long breakfast and do a lot of other chores before starting the school day. Sometimes we’ll even run all of our errands before coming home and finishing school. Now we’re having devotions, a bit of school and then taking a really long break that includes breakfast, exercise, cleaning, maybe an errand and then back in class.

The days are also longer, our garden is growing and we’re itching to finish up classes. This year I have to remember not to waste the summer and accomplish a few things besides lazy days and a touch of gardening.

I don’t know if travel is in our near future. That’s on the table.

Things to put into our Summer Plans

1. Continue to build upon skills learned this year in kindergarten (I love BJU they have a set of workbooks and reading books for that)

2. Pack the freezer with pick your own and onions from the garden (I planted a lot of onions)

3. Peanut asked to learn piano

4. Teach Peanut to rollerblade (Wahoo!)

5. Continue to fine tune house (I’m still Spring Cleaning).

6. Regular library programs, zoo visits, trips to friends etc.

Well it’s been on my heart and mind so here it is.

Not  a busy summer but a thoughtful one.

Question: Are you finding you want to change your schedule too?

Tools: I found this nice resource the other day.
