Back to Scheduling - A start

Well, I'm attempting to get back to scheduling this week. Things like making sure dishes are done for sure everyday, dishwasher loaded after every meal, cleaning rooms more frequently, and having the kids do fun projects like playdough, cutting/gluing, sticker books, painting, etc. and making sure I'm reading to the kids most everyday.

Monday - laundry: which the girls help fold (didn't do anything "fun" because there was too much cleaning to do)
evening - leadership meeting

Tuesday - Emmeline helps rinse dishes
Playdough - This occupied the girls for over half an hour! I'm glad they make markers, crayons, playdough non-toxic because Elise so badly wants to do what the older ones are doing, but it's hard for her not to eat or chew on those things.
cleaned upstairs bathroom
playtime outside with some friends over
evening - finance recording and filing papers

Wednesday - cutting/gluing: Emmeline cuts out coupons, Ezra glues, and Ella colors while Elise empties and puts back crayons in the crayon box
The kids also made car/train with the dining chairs this morning. Each child had a chair with their blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals on it.
Ella - lesson on short vowel "a". She's writing her first words and hopefully next week will be attempting to read her first book.
