You'll want to check local unschooling/home ed lists for particulars about laws and paperwork.

A good way to "start" though, is to live like you are on vacation - not a dull vacation where you're grateful for school to start up again, but the best kind of vacation, where you go places and do things out of curiositiy or enthusiasm - or snuggle up together enjoying one anothers' company.
