Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment. That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings. After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list! Nothing! No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing. Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...
Such a universal emotion! I know I felt left behind a few times in my young life when my parents traveled. But--true confession--I never thought about how my children felt when I left on trips. I just figured they'd have their turn when they were older. And they have--and left their children with me!

That is some sophisticated formatting for a 3rd grader! I love it! The way it looks really drives home the most important part.
ReplyDeleteWhat voice your young writer has, very funny and clever too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the formatting and voice too! I'm guessing this little writer tends to deliver some stellar one-liners! :)
