Are you curious what happens while Mommy sews?

Written by James





While mommy sews we begin quiet time by first reading our scriptures. Peter reads one verse (with help), William reads 1 page of the Book of Mormon independently, and I read at least 5 pages of the Old Testament (I am now on 1 Kings chapter 4:1). By that time it should be 1:30 pm. Then we do Math. It typically takes from 35 to 40 minutes to complete my Saxon Math lesson. Pictured above is me finishing one lesson. William and Peter don't have a specific math routine but they enjoy flash cards and playing with the items in the math manipulatives box. It should then be 2:10 pm. Then we do our daily log. It is a notebook that we write in everyday. It should take 3-15 minutes. We write about whatever we want sometimes funny dreams, sometimes adventures, sometimes something interesting we learned, etc...It would now be about 2:45 because sometimes we waste time complaining. The best part comes last, it is LEGO education. It is a LEGO set with interesting educational activities such as an electricity powered conveyer belt, an electricity powered race car, drum, levers, and all sorts of gears. It has over 250 parts (277 to be exact). Maybe I'll post one of my creations on the blog. At about 3:45 the babies wake up but we don't get them out of their crib until 4:00 pm. That means I could have LEGO education time undisturbed. Sometimes William and Peter watch me do LEGO education. That is what is happening while mommy sews, cleans, cooks, etc...
