We came up with a great idea to help our children through the summer without daycare (now that I'm home from work for the summer).

My 7 year old and I spent a good hour making lists of "play time activities", "chores", and "rules/punishments" so that we can make a daily schedule. The idea is that they will all behave and get along better if we add some consitent structure to the mix.

Tomorrow we work on coloring the daily schedule so the kids have a personalized version of it to hang in their rooms as a reminder of their daily tasks.

I also drove all over town- I picked up a bike trailer to pull my daughter along for bike rides, and picked my Yorkie up from the dog sitter. While we were visiting the Wisconsin crowd we had him at the sitter because he's still being house trained. We don't want him peeing up someone elses house, even though we have him in a "belly band" in the house just in case.

Summer is looking good already!
