For the most part we stuck to our schedule.
Here is a quick run down of our day.
6:45am- slept in so I wasn't able to get my run in, made a yummy breakfast of cinnamon oatmeal.
8:00am- ate breakfast as a family and did our devotions & character study, this week we are going over selflessness, something I REALLY want to work on. We kissed daddy goodbye, I sent the boys out to play and I did dishes, vacuumed, started laundry, fed and changed the babies.
9:15am- Time for school. Our subjects today:
Bible Memory
Poetry
Phonics
Math
Handwriting
P.E. (a family walk/run this evening)
Kipp and I also reviewed colors and shapes.
We will aslo be doing CC Memory Work (I will explain this another time), Grammar, Latin, Science, Geography, Music & Art. These will be on other days and some of these subjects are included in our CC Memory work.
To see the details of our curriculum see Cael's Kindergarten Curriculum 2011-2012.
While Cael and I work on school, Kipp plays nearby or outside (today he was using my duster to dust daddy's grill!). The babies should nap, but of course Finn slept in so he was up playing and Remy was roaming around the living room looking for anything the big boys may have dropped.
In between subjects we take a 3-5 minute break. While Cael & Kipp go outside to play, I prepare the next subject, switch over laundry & change diapers.
Now with all the little ones napping and Cael HAPPY to be playing (school makes him appreciate his play time so much more!!) I am blogging. YAY! Although, I hear the laundry calling my name. I have already done four loads this morning, but I still have at least 2 more and it all needs to be folded! Oh, and DINNER, sigh... If only we could all just forget about the dinner part of the day.
Here are a few pictures from our day
While I was taking pictures of Cael coloring, he started posing all on his own for me! Love that boy!
I am very thankful for our great start!
Classical Conversations begins tomorrow! We are super excited.

You are a super mom! I'm so happy your first day went so well! Good luck with the rest of the week.
I loved the pictures Autumn and also to hear how things are going with your family. They are sweet boys I know. I am sending hugs to them in my thoughts even though they don't really know me. Thank you for the sweet note you sent as well.

I am SO happy things are going so well. I agree with Shannon, you ARE super mom!
Oh my gosh....YOU amaze me!! What devotional do you use? I've got a little one year devotional for preschoolers by "Little Blessings" but I like how yours has a topic/focus for the week. That sounds like something that will really stick with them better. Wow, I am certainly impressed! You are awesome!
Thanks everyone, but I am NOT super mom- just ask my kids, I have no cape! Thankfully, yesterday was a GREAT day. This past spring it took 3 tries for our first day to actually happen (we started doing preschool stuff then), it was so frustrating. Needless to say it was a huge relief to make it through our first day. Please keep us in your prayers, I know this will be challenging, but I also know it is the right thing for us.
Kelly- YOU are super mom! How is the rat?
Jessica- If you click on the word "selflessness" in my post it will take you Erica's blog where I got the idea. She has pages you can print off for character studies. Her character studies are a bit too advanced for my kiddos, but I am trying to break them down for my boys. We also use Growing With Jesus by Andy Holmes and we love it.
Autumn, it sounds like you're off to a great start! I love the picture of you and the boys at the table! :)
