Today was well spent clipping coupons that I printed off the internet. We had a great day with the kids, we took them to the riverside park and let them play for a while in the water. Then we took them over to a park that we call a water park. It was several little areas within it that water comes out in different patterns and they can play in it. It smells like if we go to the public pool. It also has a regular park right next to it that has a slide swings etc. They had a blast and I think they are exhausted.
Tonight is the night we start our nightly routine for when school starts. It starts in about 2 to 2 and a half weeks here for us. All the kids start baths at 7 o'clock and any one age 5-11 go to bed at 8:30 and anyone 12 and older goes to bed at 9. I have it set-up this way because my step son was falling asleep in class when I was letting them got to bed at 9. And the older one (yes there is only one 12 and older child she is only 12) goes to bed at 9 because she gets a little more privilege. Once the 3 boys reach 12 then they will also get the same privilege. I start this routine early because normally it takes them that long to get back into swing of things so when school starts there will be no excuses.
Tomorrow I have to go and register the kids at their new schools. I am going to have 4 kids going to 3 different schools. My youngest who is 5 with be going to school by himself after last year he went with both his older brothers. He will now be going to a school that is for kindergarten to 3rd grade. Then my step son and son will be going to another school that is for 4th and 5th graders. Then my oldest and only daughter will be going to junior high. I have not had to deal with 3 schools this will be different for all of this year and I am hoping that my youngest adapts well without his older brother there with him.
Yesterday was a day of cleaning and getting the house back in order so not a whole lot to report about yesterday. But I do have to say by the time we went to bed it didn't look like we had cleaned much and I was to tired to even tidy up. But when I got up this morning my husband had everything cleaned for me and even brought me coffee in bed. I miss those mornings since school is out for the summer I don't get up with him to see him off to work so I don't get my coffee in bed fair enough though.
So tomorrows post I am hoping to have photos added to the post so that it is not so boring and your just not reading my long drawn out post. I am going to start sharing my family mangement binder and my coupon system since it is the beginning of the week and I can officially start to put things in motion.
So until tomorrow have a great day, night , evening!!!
