Brent: I wouldn’t.

I’m writing this blog post to tell you the meaning of family and why it’s important. You need a mom and dad to pay the bills and buy the food. You need brothers and sisters to tease and play with.
Mom and dad are the most important because they are the ones to get you in this world. What they do is have sex. When your mom and dad have sex they mix a sperm cell and egg cell to fertilize the egg. That egg keeps dividing into more and more cells to make a baby. Then the baby comes out of the mom’s tummy. That’s when a new baby comes into the world.
It’s also important to have a mom and dad because they can care for you. If someone is going to kill you, you have a mother and father to guard you.
Sisters and brothers are also very important because if you didn’t have them you would be bored. You couldn’t play with anybody exept your friends. It’s always good to have someone to play with when your friends are not there.
Now you know why it’s good to have a family: to care for you and buy your food. Just remember that they are always there for you.
Why is a bunny the mascot of Easter? Is it possible that a bunny is smart enough to hide eggs for kids to find?
Easter comes from the word Eastre, a pagan saxon goddess.
In the 1600s bunnies were first mentioned as an Easter symbol in German writings. Bunnies were to remind you of the delightful spring. It was told that children would make nests out of their caps. Then, bunnies would put eggs in the hats.
In the 1700s, German settlers came to America and told tales of the Easter Bunny. In the 1800′s the first edible Easter bunnies were made. They were made of pastry and sugar.
I was surprised that in the 1600s, kids just found the eggs in their hats instead of looking for them. It was interesting that the Bunny is a symbol to remind you of Spring.
Bunnies are the mascot of Easter to remind you of spring. Bunnies are definitely not smart enough to hide eggs.
I had an awesome time in Florida. It was fun and relaxing, and the weather was warm.
We arrived in Florida on Tuesday. Heypop, Nana, and my family met my Uncle Ken and Aunt Heidi at Subway for lunch. I got to see my cousins Cathryn and James. I’m a picky eater, but I enjoyed my turkey and cheese sandwich, Doritos, and a juice box. My meal came with a toy that I gave to Jenna. Cathryn came back to Heypop and Nana’s house with us, and I had fun playing with her.

If I could have any pet in the world I would want a dog. Not just any dog, I want a Beagle. I want a Beagle because they are so cute and cuddly. If you sleep with one you will be warm. I especially want a Beagle because I like the pattern of their spots.
My Beagle would be named Brownie because Beagles have a rich brown color like a chocolate brownie. I would buy it a comfy bed, cage, dog food, doggy treats, collar, leash, dog bowl, doggy sized bathtub, scrubber, shampoo, soap, and toys to play with.
I would play with Brownie when I’m not too busy. Later in my life if I was too busy I would buy another dog to be Brownie’s friend. I would play with both of them any time I could and take them on walks.
My ideal pet is a Beagle dog.
If I could travel anywhere, where would I go? That is a hard question, because there are many places I would like to travel.
I would especially like to travel to the ocean. I would see all the fish and see how whales live. If any sharks tried to attack, I would swim as fast as the speed of light to get away. It would be neat to be able to communicate with the fish. I would want to speak to the sea animals and play with them.
Exploring the ocean would be fun and exciting because I never studied the water carefully to get a good look at the things in the water.
If I was going to die in one week I would do a lot. I would visit all my relatives. They would be glad to see me and say good-bye before I died.
Of course I would want to do some things I never tried before. I would want to go to “Funtown Splashtown“. Some things that I’ve done that I want to do again are play mini golf and bowling.
I would want to have a big “Leaving” sleep-over party. I would invite Andrea, Haley, Hailey, Hayley, Jenna, Madison N., Taylor, Tanner, John, Caleb, Lucy, Mom, Dad, Mrs. Moores, Mrs. Walton, and Mrs. Littlefield. We would watch movies and have popcorn.
I think that death is a bad way to go away from your family forever. You’re close to your family and don’t want to leave them.
My family and I invented a time to spend with each other because Festibond is only once or twice a year. We call it “Family Night”. Each week Family Night is on Saturday. Every week each person in the family has a task they get to be in charge of on Family Night.
The conductor is one of the tasks we get to do. They lead the Family Night. The conductor asks the people to do their tasks. The conductor can ask them in any order they like but the people do them one at a time. The tasks you get to do are; the conductor, reader, activity, discussion, and refreshments. Other important things we do are highlight of the week, something we learned, problems we are having, and what our next blog post will be about.
I was excited for Hayley to start kindergarten in 2008. I kept track of the number of days until she’d go and kept reminding her. I enjoyed seeing her excitement. I sat with her on the bus her first day. When she got home mom and dad were excited to ask her about her first day.
Mrs. Littlefield, one of my multi-age teachers from last year, told us she was retiring. I was expecting her to be my fourth grade teacher this year. My class had a farewell party for her at the end of the school year. We made cards for her and presented them at the party. I miss her. Sometimes I get to see her when she substitutes for the third grade class next door.
Festibond is the gift of spending time with each other.
Yesterday was Festibond. We went to Eggspectations for breakfast. Jenna and I solved the crossword puzzle on our place mats. It took a long time. I figured out the whole thing except for one. To get that one I had to refer to the answers on the back. I ordered a water with oranges, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, sausage links and breakfast fries. It was delicious.
