Nicole over at Journey to Josie takes pictures on the 1st day of the month of what their day looks like.

I realized what seems mundane and boring today might be something I want to look back on and remember tomorrow.

When my boys are grown and move out I know I will really enjoy what a “boring” day looked like with them in it.

My half pint gets up and takes care of the dog.

I usually have to let her out before he gets up also though.

School time!

We spend about an hour and a half on reading, writing, grammar, and spelling.

Then the boys get a 15 min. break to eat a snack and play around.

Math starts right after break time.

I have found this is the best time for us to do it.

They have had a break and can concentrate better.

They are being introduced to symmetry.

I loved that they had them mirror one another!

So funny!

After school was all done I finally allowed myself to finish the story I was reading!

If I read before school then school does not happen…

After quiet time my oldest started on the dishes.

I could not resist a walk around our backyard.

The light was gorgeous and I needed out of the house.

My husband had come home really early but was trying to catch up on rest.

Had a movie night with my husband while the boys played in the other room.

This was a pretty lazy 1st day!
