Loving It!!!!

Can I just say, I am LOVING having all 4 kids at home this year!
L_O_V_I_N_G   I_T!!!!!

(Don't have as much time for blogging though)

He is doing well academically. 
Almost finished with his first Dick and Jane book.
Learning to write!!!!
Counting (as long as you don't need the #6)
Adding (again, don't worry too much about #6)

He misses school (at least the social apsect)
I think he'll be fine once scouting starts.
He also starts speech next week which will give him his school-time.

The other three are doing well.  

Judson is working a little college level chem
While mightily struggling with 3rd grade english.
Funny how that works.

Ansley is doing well in math and reading.
She's learning multiplication
And reading above grade level.  

Turner and his little ADHD self is working on writing.
He has VERY weak fine motor skills in his hands
So it is a struggle, especially
when he gets to squirming.

Lest any of you anti-home schooling folks think my kids are not being socialized.
(because we all know that is what happens....right?)
I have 3 in scouts, 2 in gymnastics, 1 in soccer
Not to mention chess and Saturday School (which is a winter activity)
We had to give up karate for a while as we ran out of time.

I think if I had kids, I'd home school too. I'm glad that option is available.

Sounds like you made the right decision! Yay! Wish we could do some field trips together. :)
