It changes every day.  The only constants are that:

DD wakes up between 8:30 and 9:30

She naps/has quiet time around 2:30/3:00

Goes to bed around 8:30 

EveryNameIWantIsTaken

I don't know how some of you handle having every half hour planned out!

The only things that I can count on are:

DS wakes up right around 7

Lunch at about 11:30, nap right after

Bed at 7:30

In between there we may do any number of things.

We really don't have anything planned out for every hour or so but is basically goes like this:

wake up, diaper change, milk, free play while I drink my coffee (THANK GOD lol)

breakfast

nap

clean, laundry, clean, laundry

play together/run errands

lunch

free play/play together/read books (clean/laundry, its seriously never ending..)

make dinner

DH home = eat dinner, he plays with her while I clean up, then he gets her dressed/ready for bed and does the bed time routine while I get to catch up on my reading for a half hour.  BED!!  Rinse, repeat

Weekday schedule:

7:00 AM - wake up (DH gets up at 6:30), wash face, put on gym clothes, drink lots of coffee

7:30 - DS gets up, I make us breakfast, get him dressed, make the beds, straighten up the house

8:30 - Drop DS off at preschool and I go to the gym for 1 - 1.5 hours depending on what I am doing.

After the gym I usually run a quick errand or two, then come home, take a shower, do any chores that need to be done, etc.

12:30 - pick up DS at preschool (he has lunch there)

12:30-2:00 - DS and I hang out and play

2-3 - DS's "rest time " (he doesn;t nap anymore, this is when he plays quietly or reads in his room). I usually do some cleaning, MOMS Club business (I am on the board), etc.

3:30-6 - Afternoon activity. We have playgroup, music class, and gym class on various days. The other two days we either stay home and play, go to a museum, meet up with friends, etc (if the weather is in any way semi decent we go to something)

6:30 - DS has dinner and a bath

7:30 - DS is in bed.

DH usually doesn't get home until 8 or so. In the evenings I do laundry (I find it easier to do at night), hang with DH, work on my volunteer work, read, etc. Usually once a week I go out for something - my book club, board meetings, dinner out with friends, etc.

Then DH and I go to bed WAY too late - usually between 11:30 and midnight. Henry's school next September has a very strict 8 AM start time (and is further away) so I need to re-vamp our schedule for that and get to bed a lot earlier!

Emily is 4 years old and in Preschool so, unfortunately, we have a fairly rigid schedule based around when she has to get up and go to bed at night:

7:00am - Up with an alarm, get dressed, have breakfast, brush teeth and get to Preschool by 9:00am.

9:00-12:00pm - While Emily is in school, I run errands, go to the gym/swim, meet up with friends, clean house, some times come home and get online (like today).

12:00-5:00pm - Pick Emily up and either have lunch at the park, a friend's house, or here at home.  Every day is different.  Some days we have play dates, go to the aquarium, play at home, take a walk around the neighborhood, etc.  Because Preschool is A LOT for her and me, we don't do anything else like tumbling class or other activities.

5:00-7:00pm - Dinner for Emily then, clean up her room, bath time, brush teeth, get her things ready for school the next day, read books, etc.

7:00pm - Bedtime/lights out for Emily.

 

I relax and get dinner started (or finished) for DH & I between 7pm and when he gets home (can be as late as 9pm).  Because I'm pregnant and not a morning person, I'm normally in bed no later than 10pm.
