Everyday Vile’s

I think we’re finally settling into a decent routine around the Vile household. I’ve always struggled with having a solid routine and although I doubt we’ll ever have a perfectly solid routine, at least we have a decent one right now. I’m finding that Ethan does better when he knows whats coming next in his day. Of course throughout the week we always have a few days that throw us off, but we’re getting a lot better at sticking to what should come next. For my own personal “scrapbooking” and desire to remember what’s going on in our lives right now…here’s our daily routine as of Winter 2008.

7:00 AM wake up … Ethan reads in his room till 7:20ish

7:30 breakfast

8:00 Lucas wakes up / Seaseme Street

9:00 Super Why (Ethan’s favorite PBS show)

(I love this time as I can get some morning chores done… like blog. hehe)

9:30 get dressed / brush teeth and play trains in Ethan’s room

10:00 run errands if necessary or have art time, play time or outside time (depending on weather), or story time at the library (depending on the day)
11:30 lunch

1:00 nap time… yay!

3:00 puzzles and games

3:30 more play time

4:00 help get dinner ready

5:00 dad comes home… yay!

5:30 dinner

6:30 play time with dad

7:00 tubby’s (we picked that term up from Helen’s kids … aka bath time)

7:30 storytime

8:00 bed time!

Here’s some pictures of life around the Vile household:

Lucas loves to listen to Ethan’s headphones he got for Christmas

Ethan LOVES his GeoTracks train set he got for Christmas

This is how Ethan greets Lucas when he wakes up from his nap!

After nap… a little snack and a Veggie Tales video

Thanks to my friends suggestion to make a reading corner for Ethan to go to in the morning after he wakes up… here he is cuddling up with a few good books… although he doesn’t always want to read in the morning… it’s cute when I find him like this.

Uncle Joel came to visit this past weekend… Ethan was soooo excited to play with “Untle Doel”! He gave Ethan a video for his birthday “My Neighbor Totoro” (it’s a Japanense film) and it’s become his new favorite movie!!! Thanks Joel!
