Alarm for DH & I at 6am
showers (we have our own bathrooms)
6:30 DH starts breakfast & I get the kids clothes ready
630-7am empty dishwasher from the previous day (we hand wash dishes and use the washer as a dryer!)
7am-730 breakfast with the entire family& DH leave for work (he starts at 730, but works across the street)
730-8am I wash dishes, tidy up kitchen & kids are given wet washcloths to clean up the table and just learn the basics of chores.
8am-9am Kids baths, getting dressed, making beds in all the rooms and tidying up rooms and bathrooms.
9am-11am This is open time for our daily craft activity, playroom time and outside time, whichever they choose to do in whatever order. (this is when I get any laundry together from the previous day and laundry to be done that day and toss it in.)
MON- Bedding & misc. household stuff
Tue-Towels & Shower curtains
Wed-Kids Clothes
Thurs-DH
Fri-My Clothes
11am-1130am I start getting lunch ready while the kids clean up the playroom. (all the bins and buckets and such are labled with photos, so that they know what goes where) (my little guy just shoves things everywhere though
)
1130-1230 DH gets home for lunch and we eat together then he clears table, I wash and he plays with the kids until it's time to leave. While he plays i run the swiffer over the floors in the kitchen, the foyer and vacuum up the dining room.
1230 While DH walks out the door, he tosses the clothes in the dryer and takes out the trash (we fill ALOT of trash
)
1230-2pm We usually head outside about now, so that the kids can burn off their energy before naps or we will head out to the library or store or kiddie gym etc. Before heading out I defrost something for dinner.
2pm-330 Naptime!! I use this time to craft, DIS, and fold clothes, this is my time
I try not to do any housework at this time haha
330-430 small snack after naps and then we usually read or color or lately, they have loved playing games. (I will steal away every now and then to check stuff online and to give the house a once over & vacuum certain rooms of the house-alternate based on days)
430 DH gets home!!! Together we put away clothes and start on dinner
We like to eat at around 530 every day. Then after dinner and before any prime time shows we want to watch we do whatever the kids want to do.
Around this time is when I break away and do whatever just to wind down from the day. DH likes taking the kids outside to race their giant RC cars
That is def. NOT my thing
It TOTALLY helps to keep baskets in EVERY room of the house (i use pretty decorative ones) and i toss stuff in them when i'm too busy to put it away. (stuff that does not belong in that room) and EVERY NIGHT before bed DH and i attack the baskets and put the stuff away. The kids have to put the playroom and their bedroom baskets away. We help them of course, but they are in charge of them.
Hope this helps! Any questions, feel free to ask
DH deep cleans the potties on the weekends
