I also made a few changes to my rotation, since we started a baby co-op and a big kid co-op and get a CSA crate, which changed my grocery shopping day.  I also made sure to add in a day where my free time is spent writing up the lesson plans, as you might have noticed from my last two "Mindful Monday" Posts.  We've tried to keep the major chores out of the weekend, but when we don't finish something vital, we do use the weekend to catch up.

Mondays - Lesson Planning for the Week
