12:00~ Lunch!!!

Just like breakfast, we choose to keep lunch extremely simplified around here!  Paper plates are a must!  We either eat leftovers (I try and make generous dinners!) or we have cheese and bean burritos.  Refried beans, grated cheese and a tortilla zapped for 30 seconds.  EASY!  Throw in some apples, carrots, celery with peanut butter, bananas or whatever else sounds good at the time!

Even when offered a choice of different leftovers, they usually choose the burritos! 

12:30~  Clean-up!!!

Lunch clean-up requires about 1 minute.  This leaves 29 minutes to sweep through the main body of the house and make sure everything is back in it's place.  Remember, it was picked up during morning chores so this step is very simple!  I forgot to mention earlier that during our 10:30 break is when I switch the laundry to the dryer, so during this time we also fold and put away the dry clothes.

By now, school is finished, the house is picked up and our bellies are full.  I bet you can guess what comes next!
