online learning

I am completing work in my online course, Reading in the Content Areas.
Mr. C. is home from the summer program he and Mr. L. attend, because Mr. C woke up with a sore throat. But now he is The Last AirBender, (bump-pa-dum) and pretending to airbend the blankets on the couch, (shhshhh....wwhhoooshhhh)  instead of folding them with his hands. I estimate the sore throat got way better at approximatley 10 AM. He has lots to say. Actually he never shuts up. Good luck to me, getting work done today.



He just asked "How do you make a circle outta legos?" and when I said "I don't know." he exclaimed "Aaaahhww! Fish paste!"

Him: Mommy can you help me make a sandwich? (It's 10:30)
Me: Sure, go put bread on a plate, take out the chicken salad...(I trail off because I'm reading a textbook.)
Him: Well that's not really helping, you're just telling me the answers.
And he went back to making lego robots.
Then he named the robot. CP34Pd4.
Him: "Come on, lets go make that sandwich."

PS. I got rid of the no solicitation announcement and changed the rings to 5 instead of 3 (which on my end was only 2) so now if you ever call me, there will be less annoyance and more time for me to get to the phone.

There has got to be a way to make a circle out of Legos. I'm thinking if you connect just one of those dots on a corner....

It would be a big circle, but a circle nonetheless. I'm gonna have to go dig the old Legos out to try.

Uh, I'm not calling you okay? I can't wait through that many rings. :)

Yeah I'm very tempted to say screw this homework and just play legos all day. And FINE don't call me. It used to be only 2 rings and everybody basically went straight to voicemail because I can never find the phone.
