Home

When I thought of home, the thought of my house came into my brain. You may think of my home as nothing but a normal house, not to me though. My home from the front looked old and musty when we got it. After a month of living there the decks looked terrible, but we got them redone and now they look better. They were a bad blue color, but now they are nice good golden planks. Even if it rains they look good. If you take a look at the backyard it looks like a brand new house with the trampoline and the pool, and the hottub. The outside of my house has lots of memories too. Once there was a bird with its bird's nest in the spot where the smoke from the stove goes out. Another bird's nest was under my back deck, when we got it the bird had already put eggs in it. Now, every summer there is a bird's nest. As I thought about home I realized that it wasn't the building I lived in, it was the people. Like my mom for example, my mother is the best. She does everything for 4 people including herself. My mom does so much, she has a full-time job. My Mom is so fun too. She takes us camping by herself and she loves taking us on adventures like going to see a movie, or going to Magic Mountain, or P.E.I. Now let's move onto my younger sister. My sister is named Adalynn and she can be so rude sometimes. Like once she hit me so hard it left a mark, that was fun. But other times she can be so nice and cute. Once she was being nice when we were playing Mario Brothers and she wanted to sit beside me and let me help her. Now lastly, my most annoying sister is my older sister named Leah. She is so mean, like last night she got me in trouble because I was throwing stuff at her because she was being mean. But sometimes, rarely she can be nice. But when we walk to school sometimes she's nice. Other times she sticks up for me, very rarely though. As I thought more of home, I realized just because my dad doesn't live with me, that doesn't mean he's not in my family, that he is not a part of my home. My dad is the coolest, he takes us four-wheeling and it's so much fun when there's a lot of mud. Biking is so fun. Me and my sister have a four- wheeler and we go on our own and there is a really bad part we go through to get to our spot. One time my four-wheeler broke and it was bad, my dad towed it and I was steering it. Another time I almost sunk it. My best friend feels like he's family. There is one person who feels like family, my neighbor Teigen. He knew me since I was 4 and he's always been there for me. Like once I got a nail in my foot and he helped me get to my house. Also every summer in my pool we fight in it. Another thing we do in the pool is that we play marco polo. my family also has a hottub and me and teigan have a hold your breath contest. The thing I learned in this new experience of writing about home is that be grateful for what you have. The end.
