With school just around the corner, 3 kids going to school this year, and a set of triplet babies to get ready, I decided we needed a new routine. Here is mine...long :)

5AM - Hubby wakes me up, puts a cup of coffee by me bed, and leaves for work. I turn the TV on and watch the news while I sip my coffee.

5:30AM - I get out of bed and into the shower.

5:45AM - Bella wakes up and gets ready

6AM - I dry my hair (it is a dry and brush style) and brush it. Then do my make-up (just a little), and get dressed)

6:30AM - I start breakfast

6:45 AM - I change and dress the babies that are up (usually all 3), put them in their highchairs and give them each a bottle.

7AM - Bella eats breakfast and Cami&Aidan wake up and go potty.

7:10 - Aidan and Cami have breakfast and Emmi&Nate have baby cereal.(Gabi doesn't eat solids)

7:25AM - Bella grabs her stuff and stands by the door.

7:30AM - Bella's ride arrives and she heads off to school. The twins finish eating, so do the triplets.

7:40 - C & A head upstairs to get dressed and brush their teeth. They brush their hair, make their beds, and put their dirty clothes in their hamper as well. I clean up the kitchen while the babies swing.

8AM - If the rooms are clean and the backpacks and them are ready, they may watch 10 minutes of educational TV or have 10 minutes of free play.

8:10AM - Structured play (blocks/coloring/etc)

8:20AM - C&A grab a milk box from the fridge and hop in the car with their backpacks. I get the triplets and their bags in the car.

8:30AM - We head out the door.

8:40AM - We arrive at pre-school. As the class mom, I go inside, help with any last minute needs, and I'm on my way by 9, when school starts. If we have any errands or somewhere to go, we do. Otherwise the triplets and I go home and go about our daily routine.

_________

2PM - the triplets and I head out to go get C&A

2:20PM - we get back home. C&A sit down at the table for a snack and small craft, the triplets are usually napping or swinging. I unpack lunch boxes and then go to sit with C&A. We talk about their day and go through their backpacks. All papers and assignments (they go to an advance pre-school, but just simple assignments like read this book) come out. Papers are signed and put back in their take-home folders. Assignments are done and put back in folder. Folder goes back in backpack and backpack goes up in room.

2:45 - Bella gets home and makes herself a snack, gives me papers to sign, and does homework.

3PM - Bella continues with homework and C&A go play. Then we go about our day.

4:30PM - Daddy gets home and I start dinner.

5:30Pm - Dinner is served.

6:30PM - After dinner chores are done and then play time.

7PM - The triplets get bathed and in pajamas, while C&A shower or bathe themselves (hubby checks in on them in the other bathrooms) .

7:30PM - C&A are in jammies. Then we grab their backpacks, make sure all papers and needed things for the next day are in. Bella does the same thing. Backpacks go by the door on hooks. If a jacket is needed that is hung up along with any hats or gloves that may be needed.

7:40PM - While hubby keeps the triplets happy, the other 3 kids and I go into the kitchen. They each pick out a veggie, a fruit, a main entree, a snack, and a little treat. The veggies are washed/cut up and then they put them in bags, same with the fruit. Most snacks are in individually packed, otherwise we put them in plastic bags. The main entree is prepared and put in a container. The treat is gotten ready. Refrigerated things go in the lunchbox/bag and in the fridge. Other things go on the counter. The kids then go to the pantry or fridge and pick a drink. Drink choices usually consist of small Propel, small Gatorade, milk box, juice box, or small bottle of juice. They take a small water bottle and out it in their backpack, then head up to their rooms.

8PM - All kids pick out an outfit for the next day, including shoes and accessories. The outfit is set out by their bed. While C&A brush their teeth, Bella takes the shoes downstairs and puts them by the backpacks.

8:10PM - C&A get a story in C's room, then off to bed for the both of them.

8:20Pm - The triplets get one last bottle, new diapers, and off to bed.

Then, I do any cleaning that needs to be done and Bella, hubby, and I watch TV/talk until 9. Bella then goes to bed. I finish cleaning. Hubby and I are in bed by 10. he goes to sleep and I watch a little TV or read.

What's your schedule? Sorry it's long, I often write way to much! ;)
