A Day in the Life

People are sometimes curious how a family like ours (four kids, at home, all day) spend our time. So I thought I would lay it all out there for you. The good, the bad, and the ugly. This is a look at a typical day in the Faircloth Zoo.

6:30 a.m. The noise begins!
  • feed Metz
  • fix breakfast for the other 3
  • consume massive amounts of coffee

8:00 a.m. Rob leaves for work

  • Begin Chores (clean rooms, brush teeth, get dressed, etc.)

9:00 a.m. Metz naps

  • Brooks has Language Arts, Science, History, & Geography
  • Eli & Audrey try not to (or try to, depending on the day) kill one another
  • I oversee these things while straightening the upstairs

10:30 a.m. Eli & Audrey's turn for school

11:00 a.m. Metz gets up

  • the other's go out & play while I feed him

11:30 a.m. LUNCH

12:00 quiet time

  • Metz plays while I clean/paint/???

1:30 Metz nap

2:00 the 3 amigos get up

2:30 Math, Bible

3:30 Snacktime then play outside

4:30 come inside clean rooms, take showers, etc

5:00 play XBOX while I, hopefully, fix supper

5:30 Rob comes home

6:00 EAT

7:00 Family Worship time

BEDTIME :)
