Daily Life

It's been a quiet week here in Česke Buďejovice.  We're getting our routine down.  It goes something like this...

5:00 Peter gets up to study Czech and maybe do some writing.
6:30 Kristine gets up and frequently goes to the corner market for fresh bread.  Caleb gets up and sometimes squeezes in a little World of Warcraft because there are still a lot of people on back in the States (it's only 9:30 p.m. on the west coast).  Peter goes running (M,W,F) or biking (T,Th).
7:10 Peter comes crawling through the doorway as the kids start making final preparations to go to school.
7:25 Caleb and Lucy leave for school.
8:00 - 12:00 Kristine, Peter and Silas do morning things that include a lot of playing, some grocery shopping (3 time each week), going to the park, studying Czech, studying Scriptures, doing yoga, cleaning, doing laundry (one load a day because everything is line dried), running errands, going for walks, preparing or teaching English lessons.
12:00 - 4:00 The kids roll in at different times each day ranging from 12:15 to 4:15.  Lucy watches TV shows on YouTube.  Caleb finishes his one hour of World of Warcraft.  Then they read or go walking or study Czech.  Kristine teaches English lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.  Silas takes a 1.5 to 2 hour nap.  Peter studies Czech and dreams of becoming a writer.
4:00 - 8:00  Peter usually does the cooking (I like it).  Caleb has violin lesson on Monday evening and orchestra on Tuesday.  Kristine teaches English on Wednesday evening.  We generally socialize a couple of evenings a week.  Whenever we can we watch Večerniček (I'm not providing a link because this cultural icon gets his own blog) at 6:45.   
8:00 (ideally) As a family read Scriptures, study Czech, and read aloud (right now we are reading The Prince and the Pauper).
9:00 (or so) Go to Bed

Peter

I seem to have caught a theme amongst all of your daily routine. You guys seem to be studying a lot of the Czech language. I cannot even imagine how hard all of that has to be! It's also good to know that people lead humdrum every day lives elsewhere in the world and not just here. Can't wait to hear about your bike!
