Homestead Dreamer

Our Extras..

I thought I'd post our activity schdule, maybe you all can share yours or share your thoughts on ours.

2x's a month swim and gym

Once a month bowling-usually use book it coupons on this day-lunch is out

Once a month Nursing home ministry-haven't been doing this too often as it usually falls on a swim and gym day, then we're out all day if we choose to do both. So this depends on how school is going.

Once a week-playdate/park days

Every week-one child has choir practice, about an hour from our home.

Baseball is out this year -they raised the price so we can do it. Looking for an activity for ds. considering karate, that would be 2 x's week.

Insert some field trips every now and then. probably once every two months we either do a field trips or a theater show.

Once a month-MOPS ministry-oldest dd does this, and this is always on bowling day.

Of course Church each Sunday, but we have no youth group, or any other ministry going on through church.

Once a month-meeting for our homeschool support group

Once a month-leadership meeting for homeschool support group

Once a month-book club moms only

That's it I think..doesn't include birthday parties and all that kind of stuff.

Looking forward to your responses.. :)

Our tentative schedule

Here is what our schedule looks like, though it does vary quite a bit...I am a single mom and working outside of the home presently. Hannah has school Mon-Fri.

Mondays ~ Family Nite (back-up day) need to be more consistent here

Tuesdays ~ Hannah has snowboarding in afternoon, we have bellydancing in the evening ~ was Family Nite, but recent schedule changes for nite exercise has made us move it.

Wednesdays ~ once a month Historical Society Meeting, both Hannah and I attend most times.

Friday ~ Scrapbooking night/Family Night

Saturday ~ Laundry/housecleaning/shopping morning ~ yardwork, sewing or crafts

Sundays ~ Sabbath ~ Family fun & church or Hannah's visits with her dad (every other week alternating)

Like I said, this is the schedule, but some weeks none of it works ~ being flexible is my mantra.

Schedule

We try not to be on the go too much. We prefer to spend our time together. My son used to do woodcraft at the park district, but he is 12 now, and he and dad are trying to do more things together, learning the skills he'll need as a husband & father, and working on various projects.

But our regular activities are:
Sundays -- worship, of course, and often family gatherings
Wednesdays -- prayer meeting at church for dad and mom; youth group for 4 yr old; grandma watches 12 yr old (as the youth group environment is not one we choose to expose him to) and the two little ones
1st Sat of every month -- homeschool support group meeting (includes entire family)
3rd Sun of every month -- homeschool support group hymn sing
2nd Fri of every month -- homeschool support group book club
Still to be determined -- puppet ministry practice at church
I think that's it.
