Our new normal... For now...

So, we've finally found a routine that's pretty flexible to our crazy life.  My goal of getting up before the boys almost never happens...  But, instead of getting discouraged, we start when I'm ready!!  So most mornings Wyatt's up playing with the dogs while I'm showering.  Austin doesn't get up til I threaten his life.  We usually don't start school til 9-930.  I have FINALLY gotten over feeling guilty if we don't start right away.  If we do an actual Bible lesson (we read a chapter every morning) we run til about 130-2 (taking about 30 min off for lunch).  With no Bible we're done by 11.  Bible really does take about an extra hour!!  I really want to drop it but feel like since we bought it we should finish it.  If we do 2 a week (which we've been doing) we'll be done by Christmas.  My favorite subject is Mystery of History!!  Mostly because there's usually a fun activity for us to do.  We do that 3 times a week.  Austin's favorite subject (and Wyatt's least) is Math.  We do this everyday.  I've been also trying to do flash cards at least 2 days a week.  I'm hoping if Wyatt learns his math facts better he won't hate math so much!!  He almost always gets perfect scores, but it takes him longet than Austin and that drives him nuts.  Wyatt's favorite subject (and Austin's least) is reading.  For reading I've been letting them pick their own books.  Austin is reading The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and Wyatt is reading Darth Paper Strikes back (he already read Yoda).  I love listening to them laugh out loud while reading!!!  As soon as I'm done with my Bible stuff we're going to start Pilgrim's Progress, which I can't wait to start!!!  Wednesdays are a struggle for us because we only have til 11 for school and we have to dressed to leave the house, so we just don't get much done.  And on Thursdays Austin has drum lessons and that interrupts the day, but I feel we've got it under control!!!  Our evenings SUCK!!!  We don't one evening a week where don't have stuff, which is a bit overwhelming.  When it rains, it pours!!!  I was trying to make plans with a friend and we don't have a free day til the end of October!!  Ugh!!!  Between church stuff, cub scouts, someone's 10th birthday and a Nascar race the weekends are covered!!  But, we're never bored!!!
