A Billion Years on a baseball field

Ms. Dickson (My language arts teacher) told us to write a children’s story that we could put on a power point slide show. I made several different characters for different stories when I was finally satisfied with one i had a dream that Claire and I were fighting a whole bunch. We won a free vacation to a deserted island. This nice lady who turns out to be a witch is the only one there to greet our family. They had this nice little cottage with a pool. Every day we would play on the baseball field. The witch saw how much claire and I would fight and she casts a spell so we would be trapped in there until there was a flood. Nobody would get any older until we were able to leave though. We had a magical suitcase though that would make food and drink pop out. People started building houses on the island and big buildings that were deserted a few thousand years after they were built. During the billions of years we were on he field we made friends with these HUGE birds. They could not fly us out though (trust me, Claire and I tried every possible way to get out. We had a lot of time. Finally, a billion years later Claire and I became good friends. Then it began to rain and our giant bird pets flew us all the way to Georgia. I do not want to say how everyone had changed, because a lot of them were rich snobs and I do not want to offend anybody. Someday i will put the story that I changed for school.

Party

Sticky cake on loud kid’s faces.

Hats on hair with morsels of chocolate ice cream.

Once sparkling candles are melted and droopy.

From 5 friends to family at Christmas time…

Parties are the best!

Gift lists, surprises, and presents.

Package gift wrap and musical voices.

Loving family, some with crazy present bows in their hair.

From 5 friend to family at Christmas time…

Parties are the best!

Hair Explosion

Yummy pizza and good to drink coke.

Or silver paper and laughing relatives.

Have it one way, another, or even together!

From 5 friends to family at christmas time…

Parties are the best!

an original poem by Kelly Cashel

Name that Dog!

A smelly dog, with golden hair, a smiling mouth, and eyes full of care. With that there is only one thing to say, with this dog you can’t help but share.

Sharp teeth, velvet ears. a wet nose, for dirty windows. With that there is only one thing to say, we need some anti-smearing spray!

A very big puppy, who’s cuddly and full of love, he has such a light head, and looks so cute in his bed. With that that there is only one thing to say, well… at least he is not dead!

Hot kisses, a wagging tail, a cute little wine to say HELLO! Scratchy claws, and a hungry belly. With that there is only one thing to say, this guy sounds like a friend of Kelly’s!

Rug rolling, tummy up, funny, playful! With tricky high-fives, and being crazy inside; with this there is only one thing to say…I KNOW WHO IT IS! It is that big puppy CLYDE!

Lent

I have heard a lot of people talking about what they are giving up for Lent. I have also heard (from fellow christians who celebrate this season) a whole bunch of excuses for not giving anything up yet:

“I just can’t find anything worthy enough!”

“Well…i was giving up this one thing, but then I decided to give up something else, and then I had to do this other thing so I couldn’t give it up, then I thought of something else… but I forgot”

Or simpler terms of the last one, only more common “i forgot…”

“Oh…I gave up spending money!” then a few minutes later “Who wants to go with me to buy ice cream?” (when the person next to them says they thought they weren’t spending money) “No I meant my own money… someone gave this to me!”

Also I hear a lot of this “Well I’ll be, it is Lent already? Well as soon as I finish this ice cream I am no longer eating desserts!” Even though they forget the next week with a huge piece of cake.

This one is one I don’t here the most, but at least it is the truth! “I did not want to do it this year.”

Those are a few examples of Lent excuses.
