Buat Apa Masa Cuti?

School Holidays are the busiest time for stay-at-home moms such as myself. With four boys ranging from 9+, 6+, 4+ and 1 + I have my plate full, even with a helper mind you. But holidays are supposed to be fun so I try very very hard to minimize the nagging, scolding and dagger eyes lah. I learnt from past experience that a time schedule is of the utmost importance if I want to maintain peace and stability of the mind during these trying times. eh heh.

'Ritual'
8.30 am - Breakfast
9.30 am - 12.30 pm - Home School with a short break in between.
1.30 pm - Lunch
2 pm - 5 pm - Free Time. This is when they indulge in Ps2, Nintendo, Astro etc
5 pm - 5.30 pm - Painting, Arts & Crafts. On alternate days Story Time
6pm - 7pm - Recreation. Outdoor play.
7.30 pm - Dinner

Free Time till bedtime ;)

p/s: We try to stick to the schedule as close as possible. Note that this is on regular days lah. Some days yang ada outings/vacation breakaways tu lain kira.

Stickers are given to them when they completed their work. They can choose the sticker that they want to be pasted on the pages in the book.

The boys during home school hours ;) Adam my 4 year old get to have more breaks in between la, attention span dia berapa lama sangat kan 4 tahun ni ;) They like it that they can choose what they want to work on themselves. They choose what books/subjects they want to do first, second etc...

Clearing up toys after playing. Hopefully this will continue till the end of the hols lah ye ;)

Abang dua orang sebok mengemas, si adik kuis kuis dengan kaki aje? Tak patut betul ek?

Hasil anak bujang mengemas....

Hokey for now folks. Nak mandi pulak lepas ni Mr Ako nak ajak keluar jalan-jalan pulak. Where to? Will update laterrrr......................
