Hey everyone!
So last week was our morning routine, this week is our evening routine!
I will go from after school pick up because, like our morning routine, our evenings do tend to go fast as well.
So after school, they have a small snack like a few Shapes biccies or some yoghurt or cheese depending on whether they had any dairy snacks in their lunch boxes that day.
I do try to cook dinner or at least prep it (chop veggies etc.) before I go get the kids from school to make it easier on us during homework time.
The kids have a bit of a run around after they eat to burn some energy off before they get their homework out. We have a fairly big backyard so there is plenty of space for them all to play. A favourite game of theirs lately, is Ninja Warrior. So they use things like the trees and the swing set and the trampoline and most important, their imaginations.
After they have had about 15 to 20 minutes outside, they come in, have a drink of water and get their homework done. For some of them this is something they just get done and have no issue. Either me or my mum is there all the time to help when needed so they can always yell out for help.
While homework is being completed I am either having a coffee (mumma needs one at this point to get her through the next couple of hours ;)) or making dinner if it has not already been prepped. Then for me it is off to pick up my hubby from work. Like I said last week, we are a one car family and this is just something that we have to do.
By the time I get back from picking him up, homework is done, dinner is almost ready and the kiddos just want Mumma so cuddles it is! Then dinner is dished out and eaten, kids have their showers, and get their uniforms out for the following day. Books are read, teeth are brushed and then they are in bed. They may not go to sleep right then, but they are in their rooms and hopefully being quiet.
By this time, it is around 7 - 7:30pm and (providing I am not at a church meeting) I get to sit down and relax for a bit. I am usually done for the day by this point and hubby and mum clean the kitchen and tidy the lounge room. My hubby makes the sandwiches for lunch as well so that is another thing we don't generally have to worry about in the morning.
Let me know in the comments below what you would like me to blog about next!
Thanks for reading!
