My dog is an escapist. He loves to get out of the house and run around the neighborhood. It hasn't happened in a while, since we have kept a tight reign on him and finally taught the Kid that it is NOT okay to just open the door while the dog is running loose in the house.

This morning, however, I put his leash on him and sent him outside like I usually do. Something told me to look out the window and check on him. His entire choke collar was off, and he was standing there looking up for the dogs that live above us. Why didn't he run? I calmly opened the door and called him back in. Normally, he would say "haha screw you!" and take off. Today, he just excitedly came back in and sat down with me. I pulled his leash back in, put it back on, and sent him out again. The dog seemed never the wiser about what had just occurred. I have to wonder if he knew and just didn't care to run away, or did he not even notice. Either way, he is still outside sitting in his favorite spot enjoying nature going by and I am here not having to worry about whether or not he will eat someone else's pet.

Thanks to Ln I have just joined the homeschool group on Vox. I think the tagline is great. I won't tell you what it is. Go see for yourself.

ANYWHO I usually leave my homeschool ramblings to my son's blog, but now I have some incentive to put more about it here. YAY me

Right now we are still unschooling, which means we have no set curriculum and just go with the flow. He loves the Brighter Vision learning packets. They are a little under $18 a month. I like the books that they send for us to read together, the free gel pen for me, and the activity that they send inside. He knows when he sees the box it's more fun for him. I wish they had an affiliate program because I would be tooting their horn all over the blogosphere...I kind of am anyway because it is our main source for any set learning. If you want to check out the unit and see if it's for you, they have a free offer. That's how we got hooked. The brand new books they send are worth at least $10 each...that is the reading book and the workbooks. High quality stuff.

Okay that's my happy thought for now.

BY THE WAY we are picking up Coby this morning. A day early! I am so excited. We are leaving in a few minutes. More when I come back.
