Plugged sink and playground play

Now that Hunter and I seem to be on the mend from our colds, we are getting back into the swing of school. Yesterday we spent the day at Pinkerton Park and did school on a blanket in the shade. Hunter was also able to get a lot of playing in. When we returned home, the sink in our kitchen made a very odd noise and water began backing up into the kitchen sink. Of course, I screamed in horror while I ran around trying to find the phone number for maintenance. By this time, water (and chunks of who knows what) were spilling onto the floor. As I am running around, I see Hunter with his Grandma Chris blanket and his Lego box making a beeline for the door. I asked him where he was going. He yelled that he was leaving the apartment - he had the things he did not want to see ruined.

Today I asked him why he just grabbed his stuff and ran for the door. He responded that I have always told him not to worry about saving me in the case of a fire, but to just get out of the apartment as soon as he could - so that is what he was doing. I told him if in fact there were a fire, he should not take time to grab things on his way out. He responded that he would leave his Legos, but not his Grandma Chris blanket.

We did school at home and then met some friends at the park this afternoon. Hunter ran around and played in the creek. He managed to get into some Poison Ivy, but doesn't seem to have reacted to it. Tomorrow we will do school at the Brentwood Public Library.

Friday we head to Texas to check on the house and see friends.

Looking through Hunter's school books this week, it is shocking to me that we are quickly approaching mid year.Where has the time gone?  History will take us the longest to finish up this year. As will Math, only because I have supplemented with other Math programs so we are taking more time to get through.
