Our Camping Trip

Every summer we go camping. We load up the van and go to a campground. We stay in a big green tent. We sleep in sleeping bags. All of our cooking is on a camp stove. We eat on a picnic table. We have a campfire every morning and night to get warm. Sometimes we even cook our food over the fire. I like to roast hot dogs on sticks. Every night we make a special dessert. First you put out graham crackers. Then you put chocolate on top. Next you toast marshmallows on sticks. Then you put it all together. The dessert is called Some Mores. That’s because you always want some more. We go on hikes together. I like walking to the waterfall best. Sometimes I get tired of walking. Dad always starts singing songs when we get tired. The next thing you know, we are back in camp. At night, I can count about a million stars. And I hear owls and other noises. Mom says they are bugs calling to other bugs. Sometimes we fire flies. They light up just like stars. Chipmunks come to our camp during the day. One time we saw a fox walking by. We are careful not to leave food out. Some animal would take it. Our food isn’t good for wild animals. It makes them sick.

Mom’s New Job

Yesterday my mom started her new job. Her job is to drive a school bus every morning. She took driving classes to get ready for her new job. She had to get a special license, too. She wears a dark blue uniform with a yellow vest. Now she has to get up even earlier than we do. She has to be ready for work on time. Mom has to be on time or children will be waiting for her. She does her best to get everyone to school on time. When I came down to the kitchen for breakfast yesterday, dad and mom were eating cereal and drinking coffee together. Since mom has to leave early, I knew she wouldn’t have time to make my breakfast anymore. So I sat down and fixed myself a bowl of cereal. “Did you make my lunch, Mom?” I asked. “I made it for you,” said Dad. “I made mom’s and mine, too.” “We’re all going to take turns making lunches,” Mom said. “Next week you’ll get to make all three lunches.” That afternoon when I came home from school, I smelled something good. There was mom in the kitchen, taking chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. “I made a treat for our lunches tomorrow,” she said. “Here, you may have one.” “How was your second day on the job, Mom?” I asked. “Just great, honey. I love my new job,” she said.

My Dress-Up Box

I like to pretend, do you? We have a dress- up box at our house. I use it when I pretend. There are clothes and hats and shoes in it. There are some old Halloween costumes. The dress- up box is like magic. It helps me be anything I want. I can pretend I am in the army. All I do is put on some army clothes and my dad’s old hat. I pretend to be a fireman when I wear a yellow coat and black boots. Sometimes my friend Eric comes over. We both pretend we are cowboys or robots. Sometimes we explore the back yard. We pretend it is the first time anyone has seen it. Sometimes we find new treasures. My sister Lisa likes to pretend, too. She puts on a long purple dress and a gold crown. Then she plays like she’s queen of the world. She was a pretty bossy queen. Once she put on some gloves and a hat. She carried one of my grandma’s purses. She rang our doorbell. When my mother opened the door, Lisa said she was our new neighbor. So my mother pretended, too. She asked if Lisa wanted to come in for tea. Playing dress- up is fun.

Mornings at Our House

In the morning, while it is still dark, we all wake up. Dad and mom wake up first. Their radio starts playing. Then dad comes out into the hall and knocks on our door. “Time for school, boys,” he yells. Then I hear water running while mom takes a shower. When she’s done, she knocks on our door. That’s because she knows we’re still in bed. My dad climbs in the shower. He sings country songs. I put the pillow over my head. My eyes finally open when I hear the hair dryer. Then my dad runs downstairs to the kitchen. He puts the coffee maker on. He makes the radio even louder. Mom taps on the bathroom door about that time. “TJ? Leave some hot water for your brother!” she says. My brother Mario is the last one up. He’s a slowpoke. Finally we are all in the kitchen together. We have apple juice and Cheerios for breakfast. Dad gulps his coffee and asks mom if she’s ready to go. She looks at my brother and me. She tells us, “Don’t forget to do your homework right when you get home. We are going to church tonight.” Mom and dad leave together. I look at the clock. In five minutes Mario and I have to be at the bus stop. “Come on, Mario,” I say. I stuff our lunches into our backpacks. We run out the door just in time. I see the yellow school bus coming. But we’re not late.

If I Had a Robot

If I had a robot, he would do everything I don’t like to do. First, he’d brush his teeth. Then, he’d get dressed for school. I would stay in bed. He would make my lunch. He knows pizza and cookies are my favorite. My robot would carry my books and lunch for me. He might even carry my friend’s books. At school, my robot would tell me all the right answers. He would take my spelling test for me and get them all right. I hate spelling. During recess, my robot would do extra credit while I played. I would eat the lunch my robot made. Everyone would want to trade for my cookies. I’d make my robot eat everything I didn’t like. When school was over, my robot would do my homework. It would be perfect and in his best handwriting. I would play outside with my dog. After dinner, my robot would do my chores. He would pick up my clothes. He would empty the garbage. He would feed the cat and the dog. I would watch TV and play chess with my dad. My robot would bring me a big piece of chocolate cake. My robot would take a bath and wash his hair. Then my robot would brush his teeth. I would hug my dad and kiss my mom goodnight. My robot would have to hug my little brother.

I Want to Fly in Space

When I grow up I want to travel in space. I have my plan all worked out. First I will go to college. Next I’ll learn how to fly planes. I’ll fly very fast planes. I’ll fly faster than the speed of sound. When I can fly planes very well, I’ll learn how to fly space ships. I’ll get to wear a silvery space suit and live inside a space ship. I’ll be inside the space ship when we blast into space. When I’m up there, I’ll watch the sun and moon come up every day. I’ll be so close to the stars that I can count them. Maybe I will see other space ships. They can wave as they go by. I will float around whenever I want. It will be just like flying. I’ll get to put on my special space suit and walk in space. I’ll look down and see the green and blue earth far below. I might even be able to see where I live. The whole world will be watching me. I’ll tell them what I see. When I get to the moon, I’ll walk all across the surface. I think it will be dusty and crunchy. I’ll pick up samples of moon rocks to bring back. I want to drive all over the moon in a little dune buggy. I’ll plant the American flag on the moon. I might even see some little green aliens running around. I can’t wait to fly in space.

Cleaning Your Plate

At our house we have a rule. Clean your plate. A clean plate means you can have dessert. You can also watch TV after dinner. It’s a pretty good rule. My dad cooks dinner. He’s a good cook. He makes lots of good dinners. My parents don’t make me eat things I hate. But my mom says I still have to taste everything. She says I’ll learn to like new foods if I try them. So far I don’t like salad and tomatoes and broccoli. Well, I had dinner at Seth’s yesterday. They don’t have any rules about eating like we do at our house. They even have the TV on while they eat dinner. At our house it’s never on during dinner. I didn’t like anything at Seth’s except the tuna and noodles. I didn’t like the salad or the pea soup. But they said I could have dessert anyway. Dessert was apple pie with ice cream. I told my mom when I got home. I asked why I had to clean my plate before TV or dessert. She just looked at me and said, “Well, everybody has different rules. When you eat at Seth’s, you can follow their rules. When Seth eats here, he can follow our rules.” I guess rules aren’t so bad. Sometimes my dad cooks things I like. Tonight he’s baking brownies for dessert.

Sleeping Over

I’m so excited! Next weekend I get to have my friend Ally come and spend the night. We’re going to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor in my room. The longest Ally has been at my house was when I had my birthday party. I asked my mom if Ally could sleep over. Then, my mom talked to her mom. It took a long time! Finally everyone said it was all right. Her mother says I can sleep over at her house the next time. We will try to get along well. Ally and I have been best friends all this year at school. We sit at the same table. We are in the same reading group. We even ride on the same school bus. We both have brown eyes and brown hair. We even like the same things. Our favorite game is two- up at recess. We even like banana sandwiches. Ally is going to come over this Saturday. She is going to bring her Barbie and all her outfits. We’re going to go for a walk with my mom and dad. Then we’re going out for dinner. I want a hamburger and a milkshake. Mom said we could rent a movie and stay up very late. I think we’ll have banana sandwiches for a snack. In the morning, my dad’s going to make French toast. Ally can play all day. We have to take Ally home before supper. I can’t wait! It will be like having a sister for the weekend.

All my favorite colors are in the rainbow. I like the colors red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. All the colors are my favorites. I could never choose just one. Red makes me feel like smiling. I’m happy when I get to see a sunset with red in it. I love red cards and shiny red apples. The best type of candy is a red gum drop. A red rose is the best flower. Blue makes me feel like taking a nap. I love my fluffy blue and white bed with clouds all over it. I love the sky and the blue ocean. Blue bubble gum is the best flavor of ice cream. Yellow makes me feel like jumping rope. I love the sun. I love the full moon. I love yellow flowers in the summer. Yellow tulips are my favorite in the spring. Yellow bananas are a great snack. I love fuzzy yellow ducklings. Green makes me feel like climbing a tree. My favorite place to go is a park filled with trees and grass. I love to run in the green grass. I love green apples and pears. Purple makes me hungry! I feel like eating purple grapes. I love eggplant. My favorite backpack is purple. Barney is my favorite TV show.

I would hug my dad and kiss my mom goodnight. My robot would have to hug my little brother.

Mom’s New Job

Yesterday my mom started her new job. Her job is to drive a school bus every morning. She took driving classes to get ready for her new job. She had to get a special license, too. She wears a dark blue uniform with a yellow vest. Now she has to get up even earlier than we do. She has to be ready for work on time. Mom has to be on time or children will be waiting for her. She does her best to get everyone to school on time. When I came down to the kitchen for breakfast yesterday, dad and mom were eating cereal and drinking coffee together. Since mom has to leave early, I knew she wouldn’t have time to make my breakfast anymore. So I sat down and fixed myself a bowl of cereal. “Did you make my lunch, Mom?” I asked. “I made it for you,” said Dad. “I made mom’s and mine, too.” “We’re all going to take turns making lunches,” Mom said. “Next week you’ll get to make all three lunches.” That afternoon when I came home from school, I smelled something good. There was mom in the kitchen, taking chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. “I made a treat for our lunches tomorrow,” she said. “Here, you may have one.” “How was your second day on the job, Mom?” I asked. “Just great, honey. I love my new job,” she said.

Our Camping Trip

Every summer we go camping. We load up the van and go to a campground. We stay in a big green tent. We sleep in sleeping bags. All of our cooking is on a camp stove. We eat on a picnic table. We have a campfire every morning and night to get warm. Sometimes we even cook our food over the fire. I like to roast hot dogs on sticks. Every night we make a special dessert. First you put out graham crackers. Then you put chocolate on top. Next you toast marshmallows on sticks. Then you put it all together. The dessert is called Some Mores. That’s because you always want some more. We go on hikes together. I like walking to the waterfall best. Sometimes I get tired of walking. Dad always starts singing songs when we get tired. The next thing you know, we are back in camp. At night, I can count about a million stars. And I hear owls and other noises. Mom says they are bugs calling to other bugs. Sometimes we fire flies. They light up just like stars. Chipmunks come to our camp during the day. One time we saw a fox walking by. We are careful not to leave food out. Some animal would take it. Our food isn’t good for wild animals. It makes them sick.
