Our Summer Routine

We are a month into Summer and I finally started to realized that our days needed just a little bit of structure. I needed a simple plan to make sure that I still get things done around the house, but it needed to be done in a way that didn't take up a lot of time.

My goal for the Summer is to simply enjoy my kids. This will include many pool days, day trips to the beach and State parks, and some lazy days around the house.

Here is a quick look at our Summer Routine


Monday
- morning chores (make beds, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen after breakfast, load of laundry)
- gym from 8-9 a.m.
- pool time
- lunch
- free time to do whatever

Tuesday
- morning chores (make beds, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen after breakfast)
- vacuum
- mop
- laundry
- wash the boy's sheets

Wednesday
- morning chores (make beds, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen after breakfast, load of laundry)
- gym from 8-9 a.m.
- pool time
- lunch
- free time to do whatever

Thursday
- morning chores (make beds, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen after breakfast)
- vacuum
- mop
- laundry
- wash the boy's sheets

Friday
- morning chores (make beds, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen after breakfast, load of laundry)
- gym from 8-9 a.m.
- grocery shopping
- lunch
- free time to do whatever


Bedtime Routines for the Boys

-during the school year they generally go to bed somewhere between 7:30- 8:00 p.m.

I want the boys to be able to stay up later during the Summer, but I also want to still enjoy the evening on the couch each night with my man. We decided that they still go upstairs around 8:00 p.m., but they don't have to go to bed as long as they are quite. They can watch movies or play quietly. If they get loud or start coming down stairs to ask questions they have to just go to bed. It is working out really well.

Do you have a Summer routine? What is working well for your family?
