Emily (my sister) turned 8 on Saturday. I planned a Disney themed birthday party for her! We had 11 first grade girls at our house... it was crazy! But, it was really fun and turned out really great.
I'm in soccer, and today we had to head a soccer ball into the net... sliding through a pit of mud! Here's a picture of how our team looked after this.
We are writing a poem in Language Arts about where we are from. The directions are just to write something that makes sense to you... it doesn't have to make any sense whatsoever to anyone else! So, here's what I wrote:
I’m from
I’m from the “I love you’s”
that could last a lifetime
the unforgettable love
that reaches to the sky
I’m from the kisses to my hands
every night I left
I’m from the late hot chocolate nights
that will never happen again.
I’m from a tragic experience
from the cries during the night
from the last time I saw her
in the horrible hospice room.
I’m from the last “I love you”
that I wish to hear again
but I never will
until the miraculous day I see her
behind Heavens gates.
I’m from a God
who carries me through the dark
who shines a light in me
so that I may shine
with her courage.
