Thanks for visiting again.I can say for sure that wiutoht the flexibility that homeschooling gives us, I do not know what we would do. DD would sure have a rough time of it if she had to go to school. She has always needed more sleep than DS too, and homeschooling gives us that flexibility too.If you can ever come to visit us between the months of December and March, we can probably give you snow. We live in a snow belt. I know about wanting to be country folk. Before we moved here we lived in a big city with no yard. Now we are in a great place. We live in a town of about 1800, with farms all around us. We have a large yard where the kids can play safely, and LOTS of birds! In the spring the kids can stand outside and “grow”! The smell of manure and fresh dug dirt is enough to make anyone grow! :)Some day I may put up some of my reasons for homeschooling, besides the already mentioned ones.Love,Karen
