Spelling Fun

A new school year which always means nightly homework. I realize that I am a teacher but as a parent I think it stinks and takes to much of family time, but it has to be done. Braxton reminded me that he needed to study for his spelling test and we had already spent an hour doing his other homework so studying wasn't what he wanted to do. I decided to take out some shaving cream and make it fun...it worked he loved it and we went over his spelling words three times. Bayli also wanted to join in so she worked on spelling with us. This activity actually made our "studying" fun and not a fight before they went to bed. Not to mention they looked cute writing their words.
