Echoing Voices of Spring

SPRING BREAK

1.        I think my spring break this year was one of the better ones I’ve had. I had a lot to do, and it went by at a good pace, not too slowly and not too fast. I enjoyed a couple sleepovers, hung out with friends and most importantly, packed up my house.

I am moving a little up the valley later this month, so my mom and I made sure all of our stuff was ready to go over the holidays. I don’t know about you, but organizing is what I do best, so making sure everything was sorted, into a box and labeled to go to the right room, was a great occupation for me. My mom and I also spent some time looking at pictures of our new house to figure out where possessions were going to go. We had a lot of fun and I can’t wait to put our dreams and speculations into a reality.

My dad and older brother went to El Salvador over the break too, so when they came back, they had lots of cool stories to enlighten and pictures to share. My brother couldn’t wait to show us the gifts he’d picked out for my little brothers and my dad brought back a hammock for me to hang in my new room.  I can’t wait to relax and read in it!

2. None of your business.

3. Spring break, the sunny, or not so sunny at the time, Okanagan.  Emerald-ring was spending it packing her house, instead of braving the rainy cold weather.  She was working with only help from her Mom, because her Father and brother were building houses in the small country of El Salvador. Surprisingly, the thirteen-year-old enjoyed working with her mother on this project, and their house was ready to change locations as soon as they could move in. Two people packing up a house in Two weeks, stranger things have happened.

4. Yeah we’re having a great time over here. Spring break is in full swing and we’re packing every day.  Believe it or not we’re almost done and it’s just mom and I. Dad and Caleb are in El Salvador and we’ve gotten a couple emails from them and it sounds like their having fun. How are you doing?

5. Well, I spent my spring break working hard at packing up my house. I’m very organized, so it went faster than I thought it would.  My brother went to El Salvador with my dad so it was just Mom and I. We’re almost done because of hard work. Playing Monopoly was fun because I love the strategy of expanding my property without losing money, and persuading people to trade while getting what I won’t and getting the better deal.
