Summer Days

Our typical summer days look like this: 

Evy wakes up at 7:00, maybe 7:08 if she decides to sleep in. She plays Minecraft on the iPad or watches TV.

Around 8:30 or 9:00 Charlie wakes up and watches some TV.

This kid will sleep to 10 a.m. if I let him. Most days I have to wake him up so we can get to the girls activities. 

At 9:15 Evy gets dropped off at her reading tutor's house.

Will, Charlie and I mess around for 45 minutes. I told Charlie we needed to "kill some time" and she was very confused. She prefers that I say "waste time" as that doesn't sound so mean.

Wasting time.

After we pick Evy up we zoom across town for swimming lessons.

I bring an array of toys and snacks to keep this kid entertained during swimming lessons.

Then, we zoom back home for lunch. I am not good at coming up with lunch options. The kids eat hot dogs, mac and cheese, or sunbutter and jelly on most days. I add some fresh fruit and a cup of milk and call it good. 

At around 1:30 it's nap time for Will. These two grab their electronics and head off to the neighbor's house to play Mine Craft. Charlie only lasts about 30 minutes before she comes back home. Evy would play Mine Craft for 5 hours if I let her.
