Summer time

I read a great post on this blog and I thought I would follow suite. While I have already implemented a schedule for us around here for this summer I thought it would be fun to share some goals with one another for these few busy months that we are afforded without the daily routine of school.

Here is our schedule –
7:15 daddy leaves for work
7:30 mom showers and readies for the day
8:00 kids wake and dress
8:30 breakfast/ devotional time
9:00 we are ready for the days activities



Some of our summer goals –

Pick/can/preserve garden produce (I want the girls to be VERY involved in this)
Weed garden (one row a day each for the older girls)
Learn to make beds without help
Serve others through at least two service type projects/visits
Read/look at books for at least 30 minutes a day
Write a letter a week to someone in need or far away
Train to do chores without mom’s help in a timely and thorough fashion

Do you have any goals for your family this summer? This list doesn’t include my personal goals but just those as a mom for my children. My family is still fairly young so the list is pretty simple. But it is important to make the most of every day and to not train our children to “waste” away the days of summer without structure and learning. No matter what your schedule or routine is I hope you and your family are blessed with a fun and safe summer.
