Luke "helping" Ollie with her math
Lukie and Joshie sharing pool snacks
Before school even got out I made a deal with the children. I promised that I would be ready for the pool to leave the house each day at 11:15, and all they had to do was have their bedrooms "vacuum ready" and have their reading and math done. It is something that I am not willing to budge on and they know I mean business. With the summer more the half over (cry) I am happy to report that we have only missed 1 pool day because those things weren't done. I think those are great odds! It has been a wonderful motivator and something we have all enjoyed! The biggest struggle has been keeping Luke entertained, and not with the TV which just distracts everyone else, while the rest of us are working. The good news is that he usually wakes up between 9:30 and 10:30 which gives us a good chunk of time. Lets just say he is becoming a VERY good colorer! Ha
