     I thought about home schooling my kids... for about 5 minutes!!  I don't
have the patience to have them home all day.... nor to teach them. I did do
some when they were younger.. ( but I think that all parents, if interested
in their kids, are teachers..)

     The weather has been so rotten here that we have spent a lot of time at
home!!  And the kids have been inside most of the time!  It's starting to get
to all of us.....

     I have a girl who is 8 and a boy who is 7..( they are 15 months apart)..
My daughter is really into reading... so much so that I can't get her to do
any of the work that I want her to do... I really hate telling her to stop reading
and clean up her room or something..but if I left it up to her she would read
all the time and do nothing else!!!
  My son reads a little.. he bascially taught himself to read..but he's been
around reading all of his life.  When we go on long trips we get books and tapes...
and they have been listening to them since they were 15 months old!!  He's also
into blocks... just loves lego's.. almost as much as my daughter likes to read!!
 My daughter likes to dance and takes ballet and jazz... my son just got into
sports.. he started out with wrestling and then soccer and then baseball.. but
wrestling seems to be his favorite.... and he only weighs 50 pounds!! It's kinda
funny to see this little skinny kid going at it on the mat with another little
skinny kid!!
