That sounds lovely! I really commend you on doing school with the eldest while the little ones rest-I tried using that time for doing things with Jenna but found I really needed 'Me" time to rest too! :-)
Would love to hear how you use the Living Maths books-been looking at that site too. Is this the first time using Math-U-See? Would love to hear how that goes. No pressure ;-) if you write about it great, if not that's understandable too!
I love to read what others are doing for school! Thanks for posting. We're beginning next week. I'm just sticking with AO. You're right about it being hard to choose with all the options out there.
