Homework

We continue to struggle with homework at our house.  If the kids would sit down and do it, they would be done in about ten minutes, but instead, we have twice that long in whining and wailing and teeth gnashing and histrionics, then we have ten minutes of homework.  Insert eye roll here.

Today, when Blythe finally got around to doing her homework, she did her math and spelling quickly, and then moved on to her reading.  Thing was, she didn't just read.  Instead, she sang the text to her book "So Many Penguins" to the tune of "I Know that My Savior Loves Me."  It was sort of that tune, altered a bit to fit the text, and changed up when the mood struck.  It was taking an agonizingly long time and going on and on, but I suppose I really can't complain because she was, at last/least doing what she needed to do.
