Ashley hurting really bad now that she realizes that she really broke her arm. My mom and I both broke our arms now poor little Ashley. All three of us broke our arms around age 8 and playing outside on a playground. Ashley and mom both fell off monkey bars... I think. Ashley had a Dance recital today her first. 90$ on a ballet outfit and tights. I felt so bad for her watching from a distance. Her extremely nice and organized teacher said she could try out for the Nutcracker at the end of August. The announce her name at the beginning of the show that was very thoughful.

I wake up get dressed in my best clothes and yell Mom Dad. I’m going to Paris today. I run downstairs and sit in front of the stove and wait and wait for my grandmother watching the clock. My parents walked in the kitchen and say are you packed and ready to go? Yep! I yelled I am going to PARIS. My mom said “I am so excited about your trip” “me too” I said with my mouth full of french toast. I really want to shop for clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I am going to go psycho if grandmother does not get here soon. HONK. HONK. She is here! I said goodbye to my parents and hurried outside to my grandmothers car. My neighbor asked where I was going. I said “I am off to Paris.” So we drove off to the airport. Yes, yes, yes I finally get too fly in a plane! The plane was huge with many people from everywhere. We landed at last. My grandmother said “ We need a taxi to the hotel(hôtel ). The hotel looked like a mansion but bigger. Wow. I am exhausted and told my grandmother that I was ready for bed. The next morning my grandmother said are rested and ready for a trip around Paris? Yes, count me in if it includes shopping and eating french foods. We had croissant, jam, and hot tea for breakfast. I saw people walking their dogs (chien) through the city. I saw clothes in a window. We saw the Eiffel Tower it was much bigger than I imagined. I love (amour) Paris so far. Next we went shopping my favorite thing to do. I found a pretty dress and a necklace that matched. French money looks different. But I can still spend it the same. The next day we went to a Art Museum. We saw a bunch of famous paintings. We looked at a beautiful painting on the outside of a building. There was a sculpture of a flower and of things I am not sure about. We notice that people ran in funny clothes. I said to my grandmother I miss my parents. You will be going home in one day and two hours and three minutes ten seconds. Could you say that slowly. One day, two hours, three minutes, and ten seconds. Let’s go to our hotel I am tired. I think so too. One day is enough tomorrow we would get packed and head home. We got packed and headed out
and on the way out I saw one of my great grandmothers she is only 99 and said look, look. We where wrong though. We got on the plane it felt like I was a bird! We got home at dark and the stars where twinkling there best! We walked in and said “where back!” My Mom and Dad asked a lot of questions. Paris was awesome!

What do you get when you plant TOENAILS?
Ashley S Moore
ROSE TOES
One day in 1989, a little boy and little girl had to have their toenails cut. As their Mom clipped away they screamed and cried. The clever little girl decided to plant their toenails. She imaged that they would grow just like a plant or maybe like the magic beans in children’s book she had read. The little girl took a planter and some rich soil to start her own magic. Then she added their toenails together and watered the mixture with an old red watering can. As their mom and dad were watching in disbelief they whispered “that’s impossible”. The clever little girl said “ watch and you will see”. Overnight something mysterious happened. Little toes were dancing all over the planter. The little boy and girl suddenly were awakened and shouted “ WHAT’S THAT RACKET DOWN THERE”? They ran downstairs their mouth dropped opened. The clever girl yelled SILENCE!!! For a minute everything was quiet. The toes seemed to be looking at the little boy and girl. The planter started to shake…. And what do you think happened next? The planter cracked open and tiny feet jumped out. The clever girl and the scared little boy ran outside and into to the woods. The feet followed them. Who do you think was the fastest? _________________________ Are you sure?
The clever girl ran the fastest with the scared little boy trailing behind. It was starting to get dark and they did not know where they were going. The tiny feet were not far behind. They landed in a rose garden and the tiny feet jumped in after them. The feet fell in love with the roses and that is where the tiny feet got their name. Rose toes. The girl and little boy started home the did not follow them.
