The public school, changed back to homeschool update

Well, it's a long story, but after a week of public school we are going back to doing homeschool. My dad tried out for the tv show "The Biggest Loser" and made it past a few rounds until the last round. They wanted a video of him with his grandkids to turn into the producers for the final cut. The catch- it had to be turned in this past week, and he lives in Arkansas, and I live in Utah and my sister lives in AZ. So last Sunday he called and asked if we would come out to AR for the video. My dad does anything and everything for us, so I packed the kids in the car Monday morning and headed down to AZ to meet my sister and drive to AR together. We drove for 3 days straight, 10+ hours each day. To make it back for school the next Monday, we were going to stay in AR 2 days, and then again make the 3 day trip back. There was no way the kids and I were going to make another 3 day trip! But taking more than a week off from school for the kids was not good, so Todd and I decided we would just go back to doing homeschool and I am staying in AR for a couple weeks. My parents drove my sister back to AZ so her kids could go back to school (they spring break last week), and they are going to drive my van back here. Todd is going to fly out here and drive us back to Utah. That is one of the great things about homeschool versus public school- being able to travel when you want!
