Funny thread to all. I HIGHLY recommend the book, Pretend Soup, for folks with little chefs. My DS5 loves to make things in the kitchen, and this book accommodates little ones with a 4 page spread per recipe (with no junk food!) - 2 pages for grown-ups and 2 pages for the kid.

DS6 had a low grade fever today..but skipping school shouldn't be too much fun. I gave DS some written instructions to do spanish during a teleconference I had this morning; despite objecting, "we don't even have Spanish in school," DS6 seemed to enjoy the project. Then, I came up with my own reading comprehension test for a great book he just checked out from the library (I read the book last night since it is a new series for us). He plowed through it. Then, he got to do the "Cover your tracks" game. He is napping again now, but we have some poetry and math this afternoon.
I guess homeschooling might not be as complicated as I thought. Of course, I guess this would just be a glimpse of the honeymoon; once we got used to the idea, it might be less fun.
I can't wait to send in our packet o'work to school and give DT100 some food for thought. *sigh*
