Planning for the Day

Keeping three girls busy all day is a rather challenging activity for me.  Now that the fall is upon us, scheduling can change for outdoor play time, rise, meal, and bedtimes.  I do not have a slew of entertaining activities ready to keep the girls happy, distracted, and out of trouble.  So I have been researching, and learning, and getting convicted-- all over my lack of research and planning.  These girls need me to be ready for them...  I am not a very organized person, an excellent planner, a mastermind of children's fascinating intrigues.  I realized that dividing the day up with the non-negotiables versus the variable activities seems the simplest method of organizing the day.  So, here is a start of my daily plan for these munchkins...

Wake and dress
Brush teeth
8am Breakfast
Activity A
Snack
Activity B
11:30 Lunch
12pm Nap
Activity C
Snack
Activity D
5pm Dinner
Free Play and Dance
6:30 Bath
7pm Bed

Now.... what to do about those "Activities"...
