Today we visited the charter school Dylan will be attending next year. I'm very excited about their approach to learning. However, the hours are 8 to 3:30. Such a long day. I have this irrational desire for my kids to not go to school. I want them to learn and be the best God would have them, but I want to be able to hang out with them all day. Of course, I realize that they need school. It's just the first step away from me.

There is a second decision on the table. Jasmin will meet the cut off date to go to K5 at the charter school. We had already decided not to send her next year because she missed the cut off date by 3 weeks. The charter school cuts off at December. So, should we send her? We're praying. I think she would love it, but I selfishly want to keep her home with me for another year.
