Our first day...

Q came back yesterday and we started school today. I considered waiting until we were a little more used to each other, but decided that a bored child is a child in trouble so we got right into it. We're really laid back right now, as I'm not sure how much school Q can tolerate right now and I don't want to make him hate me just yet. This morning our schedule looked like this..

Wake up
Morning routine (dressing, cleaning room, making bed, brushing teeth)
Breakfast and clean up
Chores (I taught Q how to restock TP and wash the toliets)
I fed baby while Q played with A and L and taught them about coins
Q read to me for 15 min. A played at the table and L played on the floor so that they would not interrupt me with fighting.
Recess
Q did copywork and I did sorting and patters with A and L
Lunch
Q rode his bike while I worked with A on writing and L colored
Nap for L and A
Read aloud to Q
Flashcards for addition with Q
Q nap

And that is where we are right now! It hasn't been too bad. I'm using the motivated mommy's chore list and have marked which chores Q can do. Right now I'm training him how to do them, but eventually he will be able to do them on his on. Hopefully I will have a sign up so he will know exactly which chores to do on what day. I did realize that Ashton isn't ready to start writing. He draws letters on his own (he's figured out how to make most of them without any help), but he's not ready for lines and worksheets. I"m just going to let him color and play and develop his muscles for another few months.
I need to print up a schedule so the boys can have some idea of what's coming and Q won't feel like he's endlessly doing work. I just don't want to print it up until I know a little better what works.

It looks like we won't be moving until the end of November now. I was really hoping that we would be out of here at the end of September, but it would just be too hard and we'd have to make a rush decision about a house in Ohio. At least we'll get some nice weather before we're thrown into the freezing midwest.
