My husband and I live in a neighborhood with a great Elem school. Our oldest (a son) will be starting kindergarten in less than a year. We have several friends and family that choose to homeschool. We are totally confused we lean towards public school and are praying for wisdom. How did you guys decide on public school? From reading your blog your family is having a great public school experience and you are very involved at your local school. I value your opinion as a Mom that is a just ahead of me! Thanks for any insights on the decision you and your husband made.<BR/><BR/>Also, how do you prepare for the gift side of Christmas with three kids? Do you have a budget? Or do you have a certain type or number of gifts for each kid? How do you make it special and yet affordable? Any tips on how to keep it Christ centered yet fun! Do your kids ask or make lists for special gifts or do you surprise them or both? Our oldest just turned 5 and we have a 2 year old daughter and baby # 3 is due in April 2009. I was just hopping to glean some of your tips about gift giving in your family?<BR/><BR/>Thanks! ~ AliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18299306.post-59995998073015600912008-11-25T13:59:00.000-07:002008-11-25T13:59:00.000-07:00I love all you cute Thanksgiving traditions--espec...I love all you cute Thanksgiving traditions--especially going to IHOP in your PJ's!!
