“Is it game night or candy night?”
This is a common supper time question. And the typical answer is…
“Well, is it cereal day or waffle day?”
Ha!
Confused yet?
Apparently in this house we have a lot of “days.” We like to make a routine of days so that we can keep track and limit different things. For example… Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, used to be Shower days, so that also became Waffle days for breakfast so they could keep track. We have since done away with shower day (since they are pretty much just showering every day now after exercising) but the Waffle day has stuck.
Curious about our overly complicated schedule of days? Here you go:
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday = Cereal Days
- Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday = Waffle Days
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday = Candy Night
- Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday = Church Days
- Tuesday, Thursday = Josiah game night
- Monday, Friday = Chloe game night
- Friday, Saturday = Jen comes over day
Then you add to that…
- Tuesday = Bible Study Day (me)
- Wednesday = Youth Group Day (Chloe)
- Every other day = online school day (Chloe)
- Fridays = Book Study Day (me)
Now, don’t get me wrong. I fully understand that this is WAY more complicated than it needs to be. 😉 But that’s just how we roll around here. We like our “days.”
And don’t even get me started on our reward system (tokens) for exercising for the big kids… that’s even more complicated. Ha!
It actually sounds rather familiar. Although we didn’t have quite that many days. And some of them were types of supper days and you probably weren’t aware of them!
