Finally, we're over a week of sickness. My poor son, he is so susceptible to every cold that comes down the pike. My daughter, however, is much tougher.

Got the schoolroom in fairly good order. Went through all my books, and was amazed by what I already have in hand. DD has expressed desire to do Calvert again this upcoming year (she did it two years ago). Hated it at the time, because it involved a lot of writing.

She suddenly has decided she loves writing, and wants to try Calvert again. I think she also liked the testing service, which gave her another "teacher." I was hoping to do Sonlight Core 3 with the two kids, but perhaps we'll just modify. I'm not crazy about Calvert (I think it's great academically, but it's awful dry. Don't like the history much, either, so we'll substitute)

DS is just in first grade, so nothing too fancy for him. I have lots of fun books and worksheets for him to use. Hope to do much reading aloud with them both.
