I ran outside to take the last bag of trash to the curb before the truck got to my house. When I get back inside I find Nate standing in the kitchen licking the last single serve ice cream from the carton. He is getting a little too good at using the stool. Guess its time to put a lock on the freezer too.
He is diagnosed as both autistic and MR ......but Im not so sure about the mr. He is able to plan a bit.
He isnt supposed to have dairy or gluten but he wants it. So he will go make a mess ( like spilling vanilla on the carpet ) then while Im distracted with cleaning it up he runs and gets the bread.

Courtney and I were driving down the road and she told me her eyes were playing tricks on her. She was seeing "water puddles" then when we got close to where they were they wernt there.
I assured her that I saw them too. I havent really found a good scientific explination for this. If anyone has one please post in comments.
Then we start asking each other sill questions and I asked her whats the square root of 4. She went huh? I explained that a square root of a number is a number that when multiplied by itself equals that number. Oh she says ! Its 2 .......and the square root of 25 thats 5. ( why did I spend 6 weeks in 8th grade learning this? )
Well we get home and I was looking on the net to show her what square roots look like on paper.
While we are surfing we find Square Root of Margaret

We have been running like crazy all week with Dr's appointments and such so my first thought was go drive in a non air conditioned van for an hour and a half to take the kids swimming..eek I dunno.
We all really needed to get out of the house though. After a quick vote that ended in a unanimous yes!, we packed up the van and headed to Leslie's house. Since we live so far from most of the others in the unschool group, this was the first time we got to visit her house. The backyard is amazing!
We had a great time swimming and playing and visiting and the girls were really mad about having to leave . Shame on me for not making daddy walk 12 miles home!
The younger 2 had a nice nap on the way home. We got dad and the girls headed off to vbs .
It was a great day. :)
