Scheduling the Summer

Ahh...the summer has started!  Swim lessons are a daily occurence and there is a relaxed feel to things.  Except when my two children are arguing, fighting and running around our house, even though we have a gorgeous backyard.  I need to schedule them up a bit.

or else, I will go crazy.

TV can go on first thing...must be off around 9:30.  Nathan is actually learning the art of sleeping in.  I am proud of him.  Ella on the other hand...

I made a little chart for them.  You know, things like Read for 20 minutes, play inside, play outside, computer, swim...They check off when they do it.  I might cut some raffle tickets up with each activity and do a drawing a few times each day, make it fun for them instead of just Mom telling them what to do!

These two little gems...I adore them.

I used the July My Scrapbook Nook kit to make this layout.  I think it is my favorite kit...love the OA and the canvas Maya Road tags!  Yummy!  Go here to sign up for a subscription!  Don't forget to tell me if you sign up based on my recommendation...I will enter you in a raffle for a $25.00 gift certificate to the shop!

Fun news...It's Just Paper is the featured blog over at Scrapbook Layout ideas...cool and thanks!

Off to enjoy the summer afternoon!  I hope you do the same!
