Michael Austin presents
These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
Summer Edition

First comes the kickball game against the teachers.
That night's the 5th grade graduation thingamajigger.
Last day of school half the kids aren't there.
These are my favorite things for summer........

Sleeping in and having a new blog.
Not getting to swim yet is such a bummer.
I can't imagine what's happening next.
These are my favorite things 'bout summer...

WHEN THERE'S THUNDER!
WHEN THERE'S LIGHTNING!
WHEN I'M SCARED BEING!
I simply think of more summer things...

Friend birthday parties with badminton and waterslides.
Happiness that David S. Austin's our father!
Friends that come over and play
These are my favorite things from summer.

Soon Hill Cumorah and maybe Erie Canal.
Potato chips from the factory called Herr's.
Books from the library, and movie nights.
More favorite fun things in the summer.

WHEN THERE'S SPIDERS
WHEN WE QUARREL
WHEN I FEEL REALLY BAD
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad!

Each night we go out and catch fireflies.
Henry goes SMACK and it suddenly dies.
Maybe we'll picnic and also play!
And all through the summer days!

AND ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER DAYS!

Hello!

Welcome to our new blog. We are the three oldest Austin kids, Michael, Jane and Eve! We are very excited to have a blog and we want to tell you about us first.

Michael- I am eleven years old. I love to read and write stories. My favorite color is red. My favorite animals are (1) the leopard and (2) the peregrine falcon. Another of my hobbies is technology. (I got a Greymark build it yourself programmable robot for my birthday.) I am excited about having a blog.

Jane- I am nine years old. I love to sketch animals like puppies & kittens.My favorite colors are yellow & green. I don't really have a favorite animal as long as it is a baby animal! Another one of my hobbies is playing soccer. I am very excited about having a blog.

Genevieve (Eve)- I am seven years old. I love to bake yummy stuff. My favorite colors are yellow and purple. My favorite animal is any animal that is a baby. Another one of my hobbies is sock skating in the kitchen. (That's when you slide around on a polished wooden floor with socks on.) I am also super excited about a blog!
