Hi Terri-
I have a YS girl who is eight. Maybe our kids could become email pals. "Artemis" writes sporadically to a couple other YS, and she really enjoys it. She likes the YS book club too.
A suggestion for school that is not too expensive and is interactive- try Lukeion for history. There's an old thread about it on this board, under resources. Artemis took a 4 week class last summer and will probably be taking another this fall.
Good luck with the home makeover. Maybe the fire dept heard that you were in the running and decided to wait and see? My family loves that show- it's about the only thing I will actually sit and watch.
Send me a private message if you want to try the email thing.
