Do you need a break? Let’s discuss the pros and cons of a break. For kids it means more play time! We also get to rest and on Sunday we hear God’s word. But we have to stop projects like painting for Sunday. Breaks during our school week mean sometimes we have to do extra school the day before. But there are much more pros than cons! I love summer break. Last year, we went to Invermere! And sometimes Mommy plans surprise trips to Calaway Park! It is very fun to have breaks like Christmas, New Year’s and spring break. Now let’s discuss my family’s break schedule. First day of the week we have Sunday as a break to hear God’s word. And on Saturday we also take a weekly break. And sometimes we take breaks in between. All together considering every pro and every con, I think breaks are very nice.

Week 27 – Imagination
Once upon a time I went to our house and it was in the Big Woods. I had three sisters, Laura. Mary,and baby Carrie. And now I was playing with my sister baby carrie and my sister Laura came up to me one day in summer with a camera and we went out on a walk together and she said, “Why don’t I do as much as you do.”
As they were talking they came upon a sleeping deer and she said, “Isn’t that thing cute? Let’s take a pet, Emily, we have no pets. It will be fun to play with the deer. Don’t you think it will be fun to play with it.”
“Yes, but what will Mommy say?”
When they got home Ma said she loved it and the drink she ate was milkshake. The flavour was strawberry. I love strawberry it was the best thing I ever ate in the whole world.
Week 27 – Paint With Words
One day the Stephens went camping at daytime. And after they ate, Abigail went to play in the woods. And while she was in the woods she met a deer, and she didn’t want to scare the deer, and named the deer Faline. By accident she scared the deer and it ran away. And Abigail waited for it to come back. Finally it came back, and Abigail said she wouldn’t scare it anymore and the deer believed her. Abigail went down on her knees near the deer, and gave the deer a hug and kiss. Then she went back to her camp and got a collar for the deer, then she ran back to the dear and put the leash on the deer, and led the deer back to camp, and showed mom and dad the deer that she had found. And she asked, “Can I keep the deer?” and mom said yes. Next morning, Abigail woke up and saw that mom and dad we’re packing up, and Abigail asked if she could bring the deer home, and dad said yes. And when they reached home Abigail tied up with deer inside the house, and they lived happily ever after. The end. By Abigail Eva Stephens.
Week 26 – Powerless Play
When the power goes out, Hot Wheels are the perfect thing! You don’t need electricity,and you can set up a track all around the house, with jumps, loops, and tracks on the ceiling. Just don’t trip on the tracks or get hit by the cars. Also, you can play with Lego by candlelight. We could build towers out of Lego so the Hot Wheels cars can hit break, destroy, wreck, and damage your Lego towers. If you don’t want to do that, just go exploring outside in the black of night and listen to wolves howl. Or just do it in the daylight and go with Dad who will take you off the path into the forest, or in a muddy place, or to lakes, rivers, and ponds. It’s pretty fun when the power goes out!
Week 26 – Bedtime Story
One night, Frog and Toad went to the jungle for a walk to cool off and get some fresh air. Suddenly, they heard a sound and they were scared. Finally, they noticed it was an owl, and they were not scared.
They kept on walking, and they met a zebra. And they said to the zebra, “How are you?” And the zebra said, “Hello.” They waved back and kept on walking.
And they met a monkey and the monkey said he had some friends in the jungle. He said, “You might find my friends if you keep on going.” So they kept on walking.
Next they met a tiger and the tiger said, “Come closer so I can eat you!” But Frog and Toad said, “No, we will not come closer, for we will run!”
And they ran home as fast as they could. When they reached Toad’s house, they said goodbye to each other and Frog went home.
The end.
Week 24 – Owl at Work
Once upon a time Owl was going to the firehouse. Owl was going to be a firefighter. He had to learn how to be a firefighter so he went looking for the firefighters. Then he heard something and the sound was “Weeee oooooouuuuu, weeeee oooooouuuuuu.” He started following the sound. He found the sound and there were all the firefighters in the fire truck.
He yelled, “Wait for me, I’m a firefighter too.” The chief said, “You can’t come with us, your not trained and neither are you in your firefighter clothes.” Then Owl said, “You can teach me and I can come along with you.” Then the Chief said, “It’s an emergency and there is no time to teach you.”
At the building that was burning, Owl saw people screaming from the roof for help. Even though he was supposed to stay near the truck, he flew up and began to save the people. A child sat on his back, he held a baby from his beak and a mother and father sat on his wings.
Owl saved the day! The Chief was so surprised that he gave Owl his own fire suit and a medal.

Week 25 – Describe (Favorite Food)
Sinigang by Emily
My favorite food is Sinigang. It has radishes, green beans, fish sauce, meat, rice, and tamarind. It tastes delicious. It doesn’t taste like anything else you’ve tasted. It simply looks like a pot full of radishes, green beans and meat and an orange sauce. Once Daddy described it as smelling bad but tasting good. I don’t think it smells bad. I eat it warm, right from the pot. I always have seconds or thirds. It’s my favorite because it tastes the best! I love it!
