My Room

4th grade

My Room

“GO CLEAN YOUR ROOOOOM, SAM!”

“ARGH – another DAY of cleaning my room…”

All these SHOES to pick up!

I pick up dress shoes (for all those dresses I HATE to wear). I pick up soccer shoes (three years of undefeated soccer shoes!). I pick up Nike shoes (which helped me run and to place in many track meets). I pick up sandals (which were nice on those hot, hot days of play). I pick up my slides – my slip-on shoes – always comfy after games.

Shoes!!! I sure love shoes!

Not only do I wear many shoes, but I also wear many hats. I hang up a hat from my very first Creation – way back in 97 (which I almost had to throw out cause it was so often used and worn). I next pick up my soccer hats from summer soccer camps. And of course there are always those baseball hats collected from 5 years of playing.

Next I move on to my golf bag which I must find a place for, and I think of all those games of golf played with friends before flopping down onto my fuzzy blue coca-cola-bear blanket. I always will remember this blanket because me and my sister got blankets together which my mom stitched for us (I love you Alexa!). I smile as I think of all those special times I will always remember.

And then my dad calls, “TIME TO EAT!” I jump off the bed and away from my thoughts, and remember, “Oops! I was supposed to be cleaning my room!”
