I took this picture right after breakfast this morning. Our kids usually get up starting at 5:30, and we have breakfast around 7. I usually start school with the younger girls before 8am, since everyone is up and ready.

Breakfast consists of oatmeal and eggs. While eating, we read our daily Bible chapter – right now we’re reading through the Bible chronologically – and pray together. We always try to pray something from the Scripture we’ve read, and each child gets to start the prayer circle on a different weekday.

We typically finish all our school before lunch – that’s what happens when you start before 8am! 🙂
