!!!!!!Grandparents!!!!!!

This week our grandparents came! So we got to slack off a little :):):):)! Well we did lot of other things instead of what we normally did. They brought down two desks and a dresser and a chest of drawers. The desks were from a discount place at Sauder and the dresser and chest of drawers were from an estate sale. The desks were for Emily and I and Anya got my old desk. the dresser and drawers were for my mom and dad. We had to put together the desks so Grandpa helped us. We did the first one (Emily's) in about maybe 4 or 5 hours and the second one(mine) in a little less than 2 hours!!!! WOW! We went really quickly the second time because me and Emily knew what we were doing. Grandpa knew what he was doing both times so he helped more on the second one!!!!! My grandma worked in the kitchen a lot she made applesauce and dried apples (Grandpa helped her some.) We went disc golfing with grandpa. Then Emily and I did interviews with our grandma and grandpa. I did Grandpa and Emily did Grandma. I think we learned a lot from it. We each did essays on our interviews. I thought it was fun to get to know more about him and hear the different stories.

Crickets Chirping

Here is my poem I wrote in Pennslyvania:

Crickets Chirping

The crickets are chirping,

The birds are singing,

Thunderous cars interupt,

The wind starts to blow,

The cars and wind stop,

The chirps and sweet songs come back,

All is Peaceful.

We have been at my Aunt's house for just about two days. Here strengths are in music, reading, art, other languages and cooking. All of which my dad does not, well except reading. So the past days we've been liveing in town which is a big change for me and Emily. We are liking city life. ha. We are each taking a turn doing our meals Emily's day was today we had pea soup. yum. We are practicing our harmonizing. Em sings Soprano some and Alto some I sing mostly Alto. Our aunt is sweet and our uncle is funny a great mixture! We have also been learning some Portuguese like oi, bom dia, and ate amanha! It is so cool to know another language not really but close! Today we made cards out of dried flowers. Kandace's were way better than mine!
