Fall Scheduling & We Need a New Car

In June I had made summer schedule, but we never seem to keep summer schedules. We just relax and have fun! I do have story time with the younger kids, and Bible and prayer time on most days with my older kids. Then the boys and I do jobs around the house. Other than that we basically do what we want to. This week has been busy, though. Mostly bringing kids to friend's houses, pool parties, play practices, and band and skit practice with the youth group. I also took the dog to get her shots, went grocery shopping, to the library, post office, ect.

Yesterday and today I've been staying home all day. Actually, we don't have a car right now (I borrowed my mom's Jeep last week) and we don't have the money to buy one. We only had one old car and our mechanic told us that it's needs so much work it's not worth putting the money into.

This is what our fall schedule looks like at this point.

Sophie and I wake up get ready for the day, clean the bathroom, get the laundry going, and start breakfast.
