LOL, yeah...the expense was part of it... the boys seemed to have a lot of fun asking me if they had enough minutes on the tally sheet (which I mostly did for them)... the funny thing is, we were able to get the 6 hours in & recorded, etc. with MUCH less trouble than when they were in public school!

We'll have to pay for 3 people this time, next year if everyone gets their 6 hours, we'll only have to pay for the grownups (and parking (?) and gas)..

It wasn't stressful... and if I EVER find it, I have some Braums coupons for reading... my guys love to read, so it's just a little bit more work to pay attention to what they're reading & timing...

I'll have to check into the Pizza Hut book it program!
