Next Year's Line Up

The last couple of weeks I have been trying to figure out what curriculum I was going to use for next year.  I will be doing a little more with my son who will be 3,  and then my daughter will be in Kindergarten!  We decided we were going to homeschool when she was 2, so I am pretty excited that her K year is finally here.  Of course, I am nervous too.  When I first started researching (back when she was 2), I thought I knew exactly what I would use.  After being a member of the WTM boards and reading blogs for three years, I have obviously discovered that there is a plethora of great curriculum out there.  Now how to choose, but I think I have narrowed it down.  I wanted to have a list of what I needed and how much it would cost (scary!), so that I could start buying from Amazon and Barnes & Noble now.  I figure if the cost gets spread out over the next six months it won't feel like I spent so much.  Maybe?!  There are also a lot of great used curriculum sales around here in the spring and summer, and then there is the Homeschool Convention.  I could spend hours and hundreds of dollars in there!  I'm very excited to finally try out some of these programs that I first started reading about so long ago.   I'm even more excited to see what K likes!
