Spelling Test

Jude gave me a spelling test this evening. He is pictured here next to my completed exam. He listed the numbers on the chalkboard in our laundry room and then called me down and recited words for me to spell. The list was less a spelling list than a short, odd paragraph:

go
red
light
I
love
my
cousin
and
he
the
most
thing
is
he
doesn't
love me

I did my best, but Teacher Jude marked several words wrong. He says that's ok because I'm still learning. I asked him which cousin he's talking about. "Nobody, Mom. It's just made up."

Meanwhile, Sam and Owen continued work on an ongoing project. No one has described this Lego creation in words, but I think it's a city. Parking lot in foreground (red), house on the left, marina on the right? You know how it is when something is designed by committee.
