Focus!!!

For the past few weeks everything and everyone has been chaos. Even though, the house is clean, the kids are dressed, food in the fridge, bills are paid, and appointments have been made on time, things just still seem to be out of sorts.
I can only think of one thing that really makes life seem this way, summer and a lack of focus.
We've been off of school now for a ridiculous amount of time. Since we started early last year, we finished early this year. Not a bad concept, just bad timing. So now, the kids have been done with school since early April. Ugh!
Enough is enough. I've decided to start some serious study time for Justin, Bethany, and Cody. We've been doing little things here or there, but nothing too strenuous.
For now, we're beginning with a page of hand written math tables, followed by a paragraph of handwriting (usually a Bible verse), then a 30 minute reading time.
Any suggestions or helpful tips?
