As I already mentioned, Jack won his class Spelling Bee this week. He has been waiting for his chance to be in a spelling bee since Jason first won his own class bee three years ago.
It was quite the tense competition there at the end, too. It was Jack and another boy who kept going back and forth for many rounds. Finally, Jack was able to spell his winning word "formation." He was so excited to win!
Fingers crossed for Jack to enjoy the schoolwide bee on Wednesday of next week.

Jason had a debate that he had to participate in for one of his classes. I'm not sure that he was a fan of the whole debating process, and I definitely know that he wasn't thrilled with the position his team had to take in the debate. His team had to argue that dogs were better pets than cats, and well, he wasn't happy about having to "cheat" on our Gracie. lol

Shawn's been really funny this week. He has been dragging his feet on doing work this week (and who can blame him?), but we discovered that he gets VERY motivated when he gets the chance to "help" Jack. He throws out the answers to anything we ask him when he thinks it's to help Jack. Ask him the same questions without him thinking he's helping Jack, the kid moans and groans. Helping Jack - he is happy as a clam. Go figure. lol
I should mention that Shawn "helps" Jack, mind you, whenever he can, even from the other room! This afternoon, Jack and I were working on some math problems when I asked Jack what 9 X 6 was. Three rooms away, Shawn called out, "OH! I know!!!" It was funny.
Also, Jack isn't a fan of Shawn "helping" him...because OF COURSE!

Overheard: “Dad, if I want to know about the law, who do I go to? You or mom?”
**The answer for this one was dad.
