On top of all that, they need new bookbags. They both want ones with wheels. Then of course new shoes and clothes.
So, I'm thinking of making a day of it and taking the kids to breakfast and then hitting the stores. Should be fun.

That's one of the reasons I'm considering homeschooling! :-)
I don't know, the crap you have to buy for homeschooling can get pretty expensive, too. Moreso than some notebooks and backpacks.
That's why we will probably go through K-12 if we decide to keep the boy at home. They provide a computer, printer, materials, textbooks, an assigned certified teacher, and internet reimbursement while you are in their virtual program. Best of all, the boy would be considered a public school student while he learns at home...very cool!
I have considered homeschooling, though I don't think I have the patience!
I've heard of the K-12 program and it's probably what I would use if I ever homeschooled.
I think that my kids need to be around other kids though. They need that structure and experience. And it's good for them to be around other people besides me. It's good for me (and my sanity) too!
