Nothing like a little tonsil cleaning to brighten up your day!

The house is quiet...the kiddos are napping. I'm taking a break from writing code for the programming class I'm taking. That's why I haven't blogged in a while. It seems that when I have time to get on the computer, there is always work to be done!
We are finally all well! For about three weeks at least on of us had a cold..that includes me. I thought moms were immune to sickness. At least my mom was! It was a rough cold season for all of us, except Kayleigh. I guess she got it all out of her system last year ( she ended up with pneumonia last January). I contracted two different colds this year and that's two more that normal. William has been sick since about the beginning of December, but he's finally getting better. He had two bloody noses last week, so the doctor put him on a stronger antibiotic and that seems to have taken care of everything. I'm hoping he is like Kayleigh and just has one bad year!
On to other happenings!
Since Kayleigh was born I have been throwing around the idea of homeschooling my children. At first I thought I would just do it until about 4th grade, but I think I am now leaning towards going through middle school. It's a little bit of selfishness on my part...I want to have more time with my children. Five years just doesn't seem long enough! Plus, I want to be the one who sees them light up at understanding something for the first time, or share in their excitement about a favorite subject. Maybe I'm romanticizing the experience a little. And maybe, once I start I'll realize I only want to do it for a little while. It's bit scary to think I'll be the one responsible for teaching them...there's a lot out there to learn. I'm finding out, however, there is so much support out there for homeschooling parents. Kayleigh still has over two years before she would start kindergarten, so there's lots of time for research! Although I think I am leaning towards the classical style of homeschooling.
