Spelling Bee Update...

Becca was very nervous! She went through three rounds with her deer in the headlights expression. She was asked the word "scruple"... she spelled it S-C-R-E-W-P-I-L... BUZZZZZ... She looked deflated and walked away. My heart sank... SCRUPLE!!! I don't think that word is in my vocabulary!!! It is obvious to me that I need to spruce up our use of the English language around here!
After the round she chatted with her friend and we made plans for some McDonald's biscuits and chocolate milk... what a great morning!

Legacy Traditional District Spelling Bee Here We Come!!!

Miss Rebecca Lynn and I will be heading out early in the morning to Maricopa for the spelling bee! She came in fourth at her school spelling bee, she missed the word "solemn". She said "Mom, I have never even heard of that word!" We are going to have a great time, even if there is a torrential downpour going on outside! I am so blessed to have three great spellers! Eli started them off, Grayson kept up the tradition and Becca is definitely the youngest and proudest :)

Here's to a better New Year 2010...
