Week Chart

Necessity is the mother of invention. After perceiving an obvious need, I felt a desire to create this chart with the kids. It has all but eliminated questions about what day it is today and whether we have school or church, whether daddy's going to work, what's tomorrow, how many days until such-and-such, etc.

The pictures are meant to represent what is done on that day--some are more obvious than others, but they include a church, a school, a couple of school buses, a couple of twins Amy watches on Thursdays, Daddy's work, and riding bikes at the park.

If you look closely on Saturday, you'll notice a "butterfly-airplane" indicating the day we're on, which the kids themselves take turns sticking on the correct day. Okay I'll explain: I asked if they wanted a butterfly or an airplane to be the marker, and two wanted a butterfly and one wanted an airplane. Yes, Eli was the airplane.
