Well, our school year is off to a good start. We've already had several field trips, and our co-op program has started. Jordan is now in 5th grade, Kaylee is in 2nd, and Carter is attending pre-K two days a week at our church, but I have started his Kindergarten curriculum on the other days.  Kaylee is still in gymnastics, Jordan is playing flag football, and both Jordan and Carter have started karate. We have also started Spanish this year, and the kids are having a lot of fun with it.  We are falling into a good routine, and the complaining is at a minimum (at least for now).
