DH and I tried our best to do as you are inclined, and try to 'save' something for school to teach, but our DS showed us the wisdom of your DH's perspective. I don't know how to convince you of this down to your soul - it's a lost cause so enjoy what works for your family...2 ideas:
1) Get an IQ test
2) Go in and observe a kindy classroom once a month. See where the kids who are just now starting kindy are at, and how they develop over the year. This is probably very important as you are designing a homeschool preschool curriculum, it would be good to know what you are aiming for, yes? I know that getting child care for your 2 is probably difficult, and sitting quietly in a kindy classroom is a far cry from what you imagined you'd do in your free moments, but it's so worth it.

Also - consider letting your son start 1st next year, it may be a better fit for him. Consider reading really really interesting books during 'circle time' such as Harry Potter or his favorite Nonfiction subject. I haven't read 'the number Devil' but I see it suggested here quite often.

Let us know how things develop...I love long posts!
