Your kids WILL complain about being bored at home, too. But at least you have the ammunition of being able to remind them of their time in school. I'm going to guess that it will quite a while before you hear the complaints. Once the novelty wears off.
FWIW, this was our schedule for the year....
We started math and English/reading in early Aug., because those subjects had so many lessons in them. My goal was to be halfway through our curriculum BY Thanksgiving.
I found that the kids did best if we did full 5 day weeks. If we took one day off for a three day weekend, I had a lot of trouble getting them back on track. They wanted to know why they couldn't have ANOTHER day off. It was the same amount of trouble whether they took off one day or one month.
We didn't so up a lot for Christmas, but I found it extremely difficult to stay on track for the holidays. So as soon as the kids were done with half the year's worth of curriculum in every subject, they could set it aside until after Christmas.
Talk about motivation..... The kids virtually always had everything done half way by early December at the latest. Then we could kick back and really enjoy the holidays. We could go out shopping during the day, bake, clean the house, all without the pressure of trying to fit school in.
After New Years, the weather around here is so bad that it's just not worth fighting, so school really kicked in again and we went at it full time until done, because everyone knows, once the weather turns nice, NOBODY wants to be indoors studying.
Thanks for the schedule information. That is one thing I was wondering about.
