Ready, set, GO!

I finally finished ordering all my curriculum.  We plan on starting school on Monday minus science which has not come in yet.  The Sonlight box arrived Thursday to much fanfare, it is so fun opening that box and seeing all those books.  MathUSee arrived on Saturday so we are ready to begin.  This is what they are doing:

Evan: Sonlight Core 100
includes Bible, Lang Arts, spelling/vocab, Literature, Geo and History
MathUSee - Pre Algebra
Apologia Science - General Life Science
IEW (Writing) coop class starting in late Sept. (this is still tentative)
Rosetta Stone Latin America Spanish

Austin: Sonlight Core 100
MathUSee - Algebra 2
Apologia - Chemistry
IEW coop
Rosetta Stone Latin America Spanish
Drivers Ed online course

In other news; Austin got his learners permit.  I was a nervous wreck.  It was not his future driving that worried me, it was waiting at the DMV for hours and him taking his test that frazzled my nerves.  Every time I glanced at him he seemed to be getting something wrong.  I could not read the test but I could see red lettering, and I knew from just having taken my motorcycle license test last year that if you passed a question blue lettering came up.  He passed with no mistakes to spare and drove us home.  Since Nate was at work all last week I was the one taking him out.  I thought I did great, but he said he would rather have Dad.  I need to ask him if he still prefers Dad after this weekend, because Nate sure instructed and critiqued him a lot more than me.
