Finally, I found my homeschooling books! Their box was mixed in with the boxes that are going to storage! Amazingly, I was able to get many of the books from Ambleside at the library. Way cool. Now I just need to buy a new math book. I don't like the one we have. I found one that teaches multiplication through word problems, so that the kids comprehend what multiplying is, not just memorizing a times table. Example: You have 5 cups in a row, and you have 4 rows. How many cups do you have?
I think that will work. And I had to suspend all computer/Xbox use, and limited TV to one to two hrs a day. They think way too fast to have any patience with being read to. Austin, especially! But he is still young yet, and we will just have to change the way his little brain operates.
This is going to take a while.
Later.

Good luck. It's not easy homeschooling kids, and there's sooo much to do. But, it sounds like you're on top of everything!
