Home*School*Home
This time of year, my thoughts turn to vacation. We like to go vacationing with extended family, the more the merrier, and like to stay kind of close to home because it is easier to coordinate with that many people. Last year, we went to a nearby city and stayed at a nice hotel with an indoor pool. One evening my kids and I were in the pool and my son sneezed. A huge booger went out of his nose and into the pool. I could see it floating in the water. We didn't want to spend the rest of the time swimming with the booger, so we decided to try and get it out. (Thankfully, our family were the only ones in the pool area!) We didn't have a cup or anything, so I, in a very heroic gesture, caught it in my bare hands, threw it away and went and washed my hands, thereby making the pool safe again for everyone. Now we like to joke about the time I went on vacation and went 'bare-handed booger fishing." I don't think it will catch on as a sport though. ;-)
I want to join your family! You manage to make the oddest situations fun, LOL! Hey, I see you have a link to Spelling Power up now. We use that. It's less painful than most spelling programs, but it does require a measure of self-discipline, which I have been assured I will someday develop, although my children prefer that I keep forgetting.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of ordering it as Delaney's spelling is atrocious (Sp? LoL!) I did read that creative spelling at her age is a sign of a creative mind but still, I worry a little.
ReplyDeleteSelf discipline? Uh oh.
