Homeschool?

So, along w wondering if we're staying/moving, we are considering homeschool. It sounds crazy considering we just got back from PT conferences & both Keat & Jonas are doing exceptionally well. They're nearly 4's across the board on report cards. And according to Keat's teachers he is the top reader between the 2 classes! They're well liked at school & have had mostly positive experiences. 
That said, somehow it came up. For one, we have felt very pigeon holed into where we could live based in bilingual boundaries. Also, it seems my few short hours in the afternoon consist of harping on boys to do homework, piano, work jobs. Then, I'm shutteling  them to scouts, soccer, piano & bball. We also are seeing our eyes open to a whole new world of possibility! Our kids could learn practical things, improve their talents/hobbies, be more spiritually minded, spend more time w us & travel. 
In the grand scheme of things, home school seems to bring so much more. That said, the nitty gritty details of everyday life (& more work as parents) weighs on our mind as well. We're researching, praying & we are planning a trial run this summer before we make a decision. I also went to a home school cinference that was inspiring/frightening all rolled up in one. We pray we'll make the best decision for our family...even if that requires more work & getting past fears.
