We vacationed in Gatlinburg last week. I recommend the Laurel Falls hike and Cade's Cove. We biked CC, but that is NOT for the faint of heart. :) The LF hike will only take an hour round trip, so if you drive Cade's Cove, you could do both the same day. The Smoky Mtns are gorgeous right now! We even saw a black bear mama and cub. The Aquarium has a homeschool rate of $7 a ticket. Be sure to have a membership card of some kind. It is AWESOME. Davy Crockett mini-golf was on our list, but we ran out of time. Have a blast!!!

When is it curriculum/style and when is it just plain laziness

I have had to change curriculum in math before and it made all the difference in the world when my son felt like he 'got' it. -

The first year is ALWAYS the hardest. :D My 10yo son, the middle child, gave me trouble every day, UNTIL I started writing out a list of what he had to accomplish for the day/week. He was thrilled after that. He seemed to think that if he finished too quickly, I'd just give him more work, so he wanted to know my plans from start to finish. Once we got that cleared up, his time to complete assignments cut in half. :confused: I was stunned because I thought he was a little slow and he really was amazingly intelligent~ Character issues pop up with ALL of our kids from time to time. You do have to look closely at different personalities to see them, though. Some of us wear our 'stuff' out there for all to see and some of us are better at hiding it. Our most important job is nurturing their character, not producing a genius. The world has plenty of inhabitants that are selfish, intelligent twits..... :D -
Restaurants serving Thanksgiving in Memphis?

We ate Thanx dinner at Cracker Barrel there once. It was actually good. :D We were on our way to Nashville from Little Rock. -
That must be nice. The regular shipping to my house takes a week and a half at the earliest~
