Toddler wakes me up anytime between 6:30-7:30. I usually get the toddler a snack of cheerios while I’m waiting for the big kids to wake up.
Toddler eats and I empty the dishwasher, drink a coffee and listen to an audiobook. Then I get started on breakfast. Some days(if awake) I have a big kid helper and sometimes I tell them to entertain the toddler.
I call the kids down for breakfast if they aren’t already up. Breakfast. Then chores get done.
Everyone gets dressed and ready for the day.
Outside(sometimes it’s for a half hour sometimes an hour, depends on how efficient they are, and how nicely they are playing, and how cold it is!)
School starts with Tea & Books: The big girls drink decaf tea, I drink another coffee.
We usually go straight into our unit study work, or if we haven’t been efficient with our time we skip it. My kids like to do it, so they’ve learned mostly to be efficient with their chores and getting ready.
