interesting!
DS5 woke up REALLY excited for his first day of Kindergarten this morning. We got religion, math and handwriting done really quickly this morning. The came playtime. We went back for round two (phonics, AAS and history). While we were playing a phonics game, DS said he didn't feel well. He went into the bathroom and threw up! My other two kids have been sick this past week, but not throwing up. So...that was the end of that.
About an hour later, he was feeling completely fine. (Not to be gross, but I just think the drainage overnight from his cold made him nauseous) Anyway, he asked to do more school so we did our history (mapwork and intro to N America...the first stop on our trip around the world). It was a lot of fun!
We never got to AAS, but might do it after dinner (our normal time for our reading lesson).
All in all, it was a great day. Things went MUCH quicker than I anticipated which is great. I was worried that I had overpurchased, but I didn't. DS loved everything we did.
Having the littles around wasn't that big of a deal, especially since things were done so quickly. As they woke up, they just joined the party. DD3 did a little coloring. It just felt so natural to be doing this. DD3 was listening in on a lot of DS5's work and was actually learning from it (this shocked me).
All in all, this was an awesome day. I am so glad that God led us down this path.

Yay!  That is so exciting! I would bet that your son's excitement played a part in his getting sick as well. So glad that your first day went so well!
