A Day In The Life

A lot of people ask what kind of a schedule we have at home. It isn't always the same depending on what's going on and the time of the year.

We usually get up at 7:00 in the morning and eat breakfast.

At 7:30 we have family devotions

At 8:00 I feed the horses.



At 8:30 we do school work. Mom uses the Sonlight homeschool curriculum.

At 11:30 we do our chores. The chores us kids do are washing dishes, vacuuming, dusting, feeding the pets, Taking food out of the freezer, and cleaning our rooms. We trade jobs every day by drawing a job out of a hat. If we draw the same job we did yesterday we can put it back and draw another one. We also take turns helping mom cook.

At 12:00 we eat lunch and have private Bible time.We have to learn at least one Bible verse a week to earn our allowance. The older kids get harder verses than the little ones. Learning more than one verse earns us an extra 50 cents per verse. Not learning one gets us extra chores.

In the afternoon we get to do what we want. I usually practice my piano, guitar or sing, ride the horses, or get on the computer.

On Friday nights we sometimes have missionary services. If we do than in the afternoon we'll take fliers and put them up in town. I play piano and my brother, sister, dad and I sing.
