Today the children woke up at 7:00 a.m., took a shower, had breakfast and went to school from 8:00 until 12:30 p.m. After school they came home to have lunch at 1:00 and then took a siesta until 3:00. Once they awoke the children studied their lessons until 6:00. They had fun for an hour and then we had dinner at seven. They were all in bed by 9:00. We had a great day! 🙂
