Our First Remote controled Airplane


Do you like to fly airplane's well me and my cousin do. Today we worked for our grandpa and he bought us a remote control airplane. It took us 2 hours to put it together and adjust the controler. Then we took it outside to fly it. I threw the plane in the air and it did a barrelroll then nose dived into the asphalt. All our hard work had gone to waste. But we were able to fix it and try it again. Then my cousin threw the plane. It crashed again!!! So what did we do? We fixed it with duct tape and tried again. We got it to fly but as we got it to fly the plane dove striaght down in to a field with sprinklers on. The water was so cold. We knew we had to prove to our grandpa that this was not a cheap piece of junk. So we put more duct tape on the plane and tryed again. My cousin ran as fast as he could and threw the plane. The plane aka the yellow bee now not yellow any more from all the electrical, and duct tape with a splash of super glue. After many more attempts we got the plane to fly( again). It was working so great when it slowly lost alltitude and crashed into a fence. It turned out that the battery was dead. Or else the plane would have stayed in the air longer. But of course we could not stop our bad luck.

A Mother of Boys

I don't like dirt and constant loud noise,
So how could I become a Mother of all boys?
Our laundry is colorful, blue green and red,
But this time I was hoping for pink or purple instead.

I always imangined I'd have one or two girls,
in her special "spin dress" dark hair full of curls.
I bought little outfits, hairclips and bows,
Fabric for quilts that for her I would sew.

Then the day came, and we saw on the screen,
There would be no pink, just more red, blue and green.
"How could this be?" I thought in my mind,
That is definatly not what I thought they would find.

I cried many tears, and for days it was rough,
I packed away dreams with the pink girly stuff.
Then one day I realized the fun and the joys,
That would come to a Mother of 4 handsome boys.

I was already blessed as a mother with three,
How much more fun would one more boy be?
We won't break the bank buying everything new,
I've saved the boys clothes and all their church shoes.

I'll still be the Queen of the castle here,
And the first girl they loved till their teenage years.
The three I have are the best I could wish for,
And I know that will be with sweet boy number four.

I can now look back, and often I think,
"Why was I so set on purple and pink?
I would not trade money for the constant loud noise,
That comes with the blessing of being a mother of boys!
