I'm not dead, I promise
Yeah, it's been a while. Right now it's 7:20 a.m. and all my children are still sleeping (!!!!) so I have some unscheduled time to myself. Yay! I've been up since 6 planning the homeschool week, which didn't get done this weekend because we were just so busy! We have finished 5 weeks of homeschooling and it has been going relatively well. I have had my first curriculum fail (Spelling Workout doesn't work, at least not for us!), now I'm trying to decide if we start with something else or wait until the boys are stronger readers to work on spelling. It seems like when I was in school we started in 3rd grade or so but that was a really long time ago and I might be wrong. At this point I'm thinking it might be best to wait until after the baby is born regardless. I did a survey on a popular homeschooling board and it was seriously a 3-way tie on whether people thought I should do spelling with C only, C and Y together, or wait to start spelling until later...
