Locally, ours went back last week. Used to be we didn't start school until around the 25-28 of August. Now, they go back on the 6th or 8th. They also get a week out in the fall for "fall break" that we didn't used to get.

We're not starting back until after Labor Day. I love having the option, as homeschoolers, to set our own schedule. We're still in the middle of summer and summer work. It's not time for school yet here!

Tomorrow... 
I have very mixed feelings... mostly, I will miss them...
..but I'm excited for them too,
and for me, as I get to drive the buses again, part-time.

Of course, I'm an excellent driver....
(It's a little scary though, since I haven't driven that 40-ft thing in about 10 months...!Hope it's like riding a bike..!

My wife wants to homeschool (as both our kids could read/write the basics before they entered K5 ).. but doesn't think our son will respond as well. The other aspect is that she is now a vital part of my business and I don't think I could afford to lose her.
What programs do you use? I'll just pm you soon.
