Future Aspirations

On the way to school this morning...

Elaina: I feel more like I should be skydiving than going to school.

Me: Because of your backpack?

Elaina: Yes, it's so light...but I would NEVER skydive, it's too scary.  I would like to go into space though.


Me:  You think that's less scary than skydiving?

Elaina: Yes, all you do is float, wear heavy clothes, and stay in good shape.  I like that...just three responsibilities.  BUT, you can't float at the wrong time...only when they tell you.  Otherwise, your face could get puffy.

Making America Great aka Elaina For President!

"We can make America great by: Not litoring (littering), stop poulishon (pollution), help people, help anmails. The U.S. is not a place to dirty up.  It is place to keep clean.  Some people think this place is for trash like a trash can or only for people or for poulshone."

Snow Day

A short story about a mom who wouldn't let her little girl go outside on a snow day....

Bugs

Elaina...lover of bugs...unless she's at camp...

"The boy should not squish the ant
He should leave him alone.
Bugs have't to live their own way
and so do people."

He better move as fast as those three tiny legs can carry him if he doesn't wanna be squished!

A Christmas Thank You...two months later

Dear Pickle, Thank you for eating my Lego's (surely she means NOT eating my Lego's..right?) .  I love it a brother a sister.  I love you SO much, I would (think she meant wouldn't) want anything to hurt you. Siensely (or Sincerely) Elaina

Fractions Made Fun

Elaina has the task every Wednesday of writing a 5 sentence paragraph on the topic her teacher picks.  This week, it was about cookies shared with friends and she had to use a fraction.

Translation:
I invited four friends to my house.  We each got 1/2 a cookie. It was sweet and yummy. My mom told my dad that is a fraction. Then we said, these cookies are fraction-tastic!

A friend...who's a boy

Elaina has a friend at school who happens to be a boy...who she happens to think is awesome.  This week we had a play date with her friend, "C".  This was just some of the conversation at dinner:
Me: So, C...when you get grow up do you want to get married and have kids?
C: Oh NO!  I know one thing for sure, I do NOT want a husband (no you aren't lost...he's a boy..he just got mixed up)  I am going to have my own place where I can play video games and stuff whenever I want!
Me: Elaina, are you going to get married and have kids?
E: Oh yes, I know who I am going to marry...Peyton
C: Peyton! Why would you want to marry Peyton!?
E: Because he's really nice.
C: (silence, thinking) Well, you can still come to my house and play video games and stuff if you want.
E: OK! :)

Peace and Rock N Roll!
