Splitting them up for a year - not ideal - but maybe a good alternative. The problem of sending both girls to the fancy school is - who would want to leave. and long-term I can afford all 3 to go unless I go back to work... also possible. but ee at fancy and out (or win lottery)... or there was a great kindergarten teacher at a catholic school who had experience with ee and sounded open to it - wasn't right for #2.... but if we split them for a year... it could get us over the ee.
what else ya'all got for me.... this is looking better.
