Proposed Schedule

School starts tomorrow (!) so I’ve been thinking about what our schedule will probably look like.  Olivia is doing soccer again this year but Kayley is not.  She is doing dance instead (Hip Hop), and Olivia is doing dance also (ballet) in addition to soccer.  It's going to be a busy fall.


6:15-7:45 - I get up and get ready for work.


7:45-8:40ish - Girls get up and get ready.  I will help with breakfast and lunches (preferably packed the night before, but not always going to happen).


8:40ish - Everybody leaves for work/school.  I imagine that for the first several weeks while the weather is still cooperative they will either walk or ride their bikes with friends.  Otherwise I will drive them.


8:45-9:00ish - I arrive at work.  It’s only 5 minutes away but can take up to 20 minutes if I get stuck behind a bus or something.


3:05 - Paul gets home (he just started a new position with an (even) earlier start time.  He has been getting home at 3:35).


3:40ish - Girls get home from school, have a snack and start their homework.

Then it will vary depending on the day:


Mondays

4:30 - Early dinner for Kayley

5:10 - Paul takes Kayley to dance (5:30-6:15).  Meanwhile, dinner for Olivia.
5:35 - I get home.

5:45 - I take Olivia to soccer.  Or, Paul can take both, drop Kayley first at 5:30, then
drop Olivia at 5:45 and go back for Kayley, arriving about 10-15 minutes before the end of class.  Then either of us could grab Olivia from soccer at 7:30.  But most likely Kayley will get a ride to dance from the neighbor whose daughter/the girls’ friend is also in that class and then either Paul or I will pick them both up.  I think most of the time Kayley will ride with the neighbor, I will take Olivia to soccer and walk the dog during practice while Paul picks up Kayley and the neighbor girl from dance.  Whew.


6:35 - Dinner for Kayley if she didn’t already eat earlier, finish homework, free time.

7:40 - Olivia home, finish homework, free time.

8:30 - Electronic device cut-off.  Shower, brush teeth, read, etc.

9:00 - Paul goes to bed (he gets up super early (before 4 sometimes) to go to gym before work most days).

9:30 - Bedtime for girls (will always shoot for 9:00 but 9:30 is more realistic).  Alone time for me—watch TV, computer stuff, then read before bed.

10:30 or 11:00 - Bedtime for me.


Tuesdays

4:25 - Paul takes Olivia to dance (4:45-5:40), or most likely she will ride with the above mentioned neighbor whose other daughter is in Olivia’s dance class.

5:20 - Paul leaves to pick up Olivia and most likely the neighbor girl at 5:40

5:30 - I get home
6:00 - Dinner

6:30-8:30 - Finish homework (them), clean up, next day prep, miscellaneous chores (me and Paul)

8:30 - Electronic device cut-off.  Shower, brush teeth, read, etc.

9:30 - Bedtime for girls.  Alone time for me—watch TV, computer stuff, then read before bed.

10:30 or 11:00 - Bedtime for me.


Wednesdays

5:00 - Dinner for Olivia, then get ready for soccer.

5:45 - Take Olivia to soccer (6-7:30).

6:30ish - Dinner for the rest of us.

7:40 - Olivia home, finish homework, free time.

8:30 - Electronic device cut-off.  Shower, brush teeth, read, etc.

9:30 - Bedtime for girls.  Alone time for me—watch TV, computer stuff, then read before bed.

10:30 or 11:00    Bedtime for me.

 Thursdays
5:30 - I get home
6:00 - Dinner, clean up, next day prep and then same as other days

Fridays
I will work from home most Fridays.
6:00 - I get up, brush my teeth, put hair in ponytail, let the dog out, make coffee and get right to work by 6:30
6:30 - 8:00 - work from home
8:00 - 8:40 - get the girls ready and out the door
8:40 - 1:40 - work from home
1:40ish - girls get home (early dismissal), have a snack, chat about their day
2:00ish - 3:30 - work from home

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
