    That's funny, my DD4 was the same way! She couldn't wait to have "schoolwork". On a side note, I have to thank Bumbershoot! About a year or more ago, we were struggling with DS, then 6. He had just been diagnosed with dyslexia and was exhibiting signs of ADHD and the doctor had suggested...

    Yes, we are using sonlight p4/5. Honestly, I wouldn't buy it again. We have used sonlight for 2 years (for my DS8 for 1st and 2nd) and DD4 for p4/5. The first year we homeschooled, I did like the sonlight. I loved having everything planned out and a set curriculum to follow. I was so worried...

    DLH Pool Slide Question

    At DLH, they will not let kids go down the bigger slide if they can't swim without a life vest. They have a short slide (really short, maybe 2 feet off the ground and 5 feet long) that kids in life vests can go down. At the PP the slide goes into a trough type thing that is only about a foot...

    Have you checked out lindamood-bell kits at ganderpublishing.com? My DS also has decoding issues and we are doing the Seeing Stars kit. It was expensive but it really has been worth it. The decoding problems can be a real booger! My poor son was so frustrated, I felt so bad for him. PM me if you...

    Wonder - cat 3 - 8034 or 8534 ?

    We were on the Wonder 10/5 and had 8034 and 8036. Foster, our stateroom host, was able to open the veranda divider for us. It was great to have a quadruple length veranda! We had no problems at all with 8034, we have it booked for Oct 2010.

    Saturn VUE or Pontiac Torrent?

    We just bought our 2008 VUE a few months ago and we LOVE it. We looked for a long time at a lot of cars, and are so happy we ended up with a Saturn. Have you looked at one in person? We were really suprised with the standard features.

    Have you used learningpage.com? I really like the worksheets and theme units. As far as time spent planning lessons, I was in the same boat this year for DS kindergarten. This fall we are ordering Sonlight. I really hate to spend that much money, but we are going to try it for a year and see if...

    OT: Grrrr! DD6 won't play soccer....

    My DS6 is the same way and is finally moving out of it. It's just his personality, but it seemed like the more I tried to push him into activities the more he fought participating. We didn't force him, and this spring he decided on his own that he wanted to play T-ball and ice hockey! I'm not...

    We are going to be heading over to DL on Thursday morning and will hit the Riverside area about 7-8 am. Should we go I -10 to 60W to 57 OR I-10 to 60W to 91 to 57? We've had bad luck both ways... so we're not sure what to expect. Any advice?

    *** Homeschool List ***

    It seems like I am in the same boat as a lot of others! We have also decided to homeschool DS6 next year. DH is "cautiously optomistic". :rotfl: Poor DS has had a rough go this year and it has recently came to a breaking point. He started having anxiety attacks at school and breaking out in...
