Fall I knew fall was coming because… On Sunday I saw hot apple crisp. On Monday I saw husked corn. On Tuesday I saw trick or treaters walking down the street. On Wednesday I saw birds flying south. On Thursday I saw kids jumping in leaves. On Friday I saw scary costumes. On Saturday I saw pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. I told you fall was coming! By Gabriella My favorite thing to do with Noni was jumping in the leaves!! Don't forget Pumpkinland! I love this poem. Love Mommy

I Like the Colors of Christmas

I like the colors of Christmas, Red is the color of Rudolph’s nose Green is the color of my tree Blue is the color my lights Brown is the color of wrapping paper on Christmas day Purple is the color of bows on presents White is the color of beautiful snowflakes I like the colors of Christmas By Gabriella 12/08

Hello Spring Poem

Good-bye, sledding Good-bye, snow creatures Good-bye, winter. Spring’s ahead!

Good-bye icicles Good-bye, snow clothes Good-bye, winter. Spring, hello!

Hello, flowers Hello, grass Good-bye winter. Spring’s in sight!

Hello, sunny weather Hello, gardening Good-bye winter. Spring’s in sight.

Mother by the Numbers

One million hours of love Two minutes of tucking me in Three great kids Four hours of work Five dishes to wash Six miles of running Seven things to clean in the house Eight games to play Nine minutes of helping me with my homework Ten seconds of helping me when I’m hurt Then she does it all over again!
