I’ve noticed recently that this period where fall activities are overlapping with winter activities is taking its toll this year.  Some of the winter activities are before school, while the fall activities tend to happen around dinnertime, making for very long days.  This is part of why blog posts have been a bit random of late.  We have one more week of this overlap and then things will wind down rather rapidly.

I’ve written about our busy schedule in the past, but here’s the annual update.

Mondays:
7:30 5th grade math morning (1)
8:00 other elementary kids (3) to the bus stop
9:00 preschooler to school
1:00 preschooler comes home
3:45 all elementary kids come home
5:30 first kid to soccer
6:45/7:00 swap kids at soccer
8:00 pick up second kid from soccer

Tuesdays:
8:00 all elementary kids to the bus stop
3:45 all elementary kids come home
4:45 swimming lessons for middle kids (4)
5:30 home for dinner
7:00 often a meeting or activity – Tuesday is the most popular night for such things

Wednesdays:

In between all of this during the week is some homework (thankfully still quite manageable), any special items, meals, and sleeping.  Thankfully this morning -> evening stretch is basically limited to the month of October, though it will repeat in the spring.

Saturdays: 3 soccer games

Sundays: 1 baseball clinic
