Family Poems

DAD: In the world, the coolest dad is he, Anything he wants, he can be! Loves us and buys us whatever we want, Helps make justice when my siblings taunt. MOM: Loves us a lot and listens to our cries, Whenever we fight and the other kid lies. She makes us food and our favorite dishes, And listens to even our utmost wishes. BROTHER: Is a really good brother even when I'm mean, And when I'm playing with him, he is very keen. Pulling on my leg, he likes to tease me, But he does not know, what the consequences will be! SISTER: A lovely little sister, the best one I know, She like to tickle me, especially on my toes! Loves everyone and shows it a lot, Likes it when I teach her, to her the ABC's I taught! 

Top 5: Things To Do Over the Summer! [2014 Edition]

School's out, summer's in! We all couldn't wait to enjoy the summertime when school was approaching its end. However, after summer is here, many people have nothing to do after vacation. Well, here's a list of things to do to become boredom-free! 1) Make a lemonade stand! Gather some friends, grab some lemons, sugar, and ice, put them in a blender, and make some freshly squeezed, homemade lemonade! Sell it for 25- 50 cents a cup. 2) Explore your backyard. Play "Adventure" with your siblings, and uncover the mystical things about your backyard. Also, (with your parents' permission) a fun thing to play is "Restaurant" in the backyard. Using mud, make chocolate or mudpies. If you have a certain fruit plant such as a berry bush or an apple tree, use some of those fruits to play with and really eat! (Like I previously said, this is all only with your parents' consent. 3)  Read a good book and enter a summer reading contest. Usually, they ha...

Do's and Don'ts For Your Airplane Ride

Are you traveling in an airplane over the summer? Well, here are some do's and don't's to stay healthy and not-bored during the journey to your destination. DON'T: 1) Don't keep on looking at the map to see how much longer until you reach the airport. This will take the fun out of your trip, and will make you extra-bored. You can even make a plan, such as you will look at the map every two hours, or something similar. 2) Don't watch the TV they give in the airplane all day . Bring something else with you, such as an MP3 to listen to music, a book or Kindle to read from, or a small card game like Go Fish. Bring something constructive. 3) Don't stay hungry or thirsty. If you need water, ask the flight attendant for some. Usually, in your seat they give a button which you can press if you need the flight attendant to come to you.   DO: 1)  Sleep. You're going to be tired, especially if you woke up early in the morning to catch your flight. If you...

Top 5: Fourth of July DIY Crafts!

1) Red, White, and Blue Headband Take a piece of paper and wrap it around your head so it goes around comfortably. Secure with a piece of tape. Take equal strips of red tissue paper, blue tissue paper, and white tissue paper, the same length as your piece of paper. Tape or glue the tissue paper onto your white paper in order: red, white, blue. Done! 2) American Abstract Take a canvas, a blowdryer (electric hairdryer), and some crayons of the colors red, white, and blue (pick different shades). Cover your workspace with newspaper, so it won't get dirty. Tape the crayons in order of color to the top of the canvas. (as in light blue, dark blue, white, light red, dark red) Use the blowdryer to blow near the crayons, in the direction you want the colored wax to go. Since the crayon is made of wax, it will melt into a liquid with all of the heat and splatter onto the canvas, creating an abstract. After you are done, remove the crayons right away and let the painting dry. After it ha...
