They start drawing or something and the next thing you know they completely forget about their chores. I have now started taking 15 minutes off of their bedtime for each chore that hasn't been completed by 8:30 a.m. We homeschool at 9:00 a.m., so it still gives them a bit of transition/playtime. I can't wait till they figure this out on their own and I don't have to discipline them for it.Stacie, A Firefighter's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195223939229023945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802544270145492445.post-21031540112537427132009-07-17T21:14:29.210-07:002009-07-17T21:14:29.210-07:00LOVE YOUR BLOG!

I guess this is why my Mondays are very chaotic...it's from taking a long weekend break with daddy around. <br /><br />The Lord and the coffee....yes, the best. <br /><br />ChrisChris@Joyful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721525071153767987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802544270145492445.post-23476353475242454232009-07-14T12:28:57.176-07:002009-07-14T12:28:57.176-07:00I know what you mean about the importance of routi...I know what you mean about the importance of routines. Routines come so naturally to me! But, I have a husband who, by nature, likes the chaos of flying by the seat of his pants, or maybe it's swinging through the trees! :o) We are a good match, he keeps life interesting, I keep life organized! <br /><br />Even with all of our moving around, I always return to basically the same schedule and I think or maybe hope, that adds some stability to their life. The little ones really seem to thrive with a predictable schedule don't they?<br /><br />Good job getting up early! I do too and I love those quiet moments in the morning: Me, the Lord and my coffee...ahhh!<br /><br />Blessings Chris!Carissa Blanchard https://www.blogger.com/profile/18121113628366069653noreply@blogger.com
