Just for Fun

That link will take you to a really fun way to "test" your ability to catch spelling errors. Watch out, though... they try to trick you ;). Remember, you only find words spelled incorrectly that start with the letter of the alphabet they indicate.

My score was 86% that i caught!!

how about you? leave your score in the comments if you want.

This is fascinating to me, as i tutor in the Barton Reading and Spelling System, and we are in level 5 of 10 levels. It was interesting to see how much the spelling rules helped in this activity. I cannot wait to get to the rest of the levels and learn the rest of the rules!

One Fun Dad

With Father's Day coming up, i thought this photo captured the fun our kids have with their Daddy. We were at Fort Snelling for World War II Days, and we had just watched a Swing Dance demo. After a while, we were waiting for the Gun Firing demo, and Gracie wanted to Swing Dance with her Dad. In front of countless people, he did it.

One of the many things i love about my man. He lives in the moment, savoring an opportunity to make a priceless memory with one of his children.
