First Snow Fall

My Mother
My mother does so many things.She has a job at a dress store; she cooks our meals; she cleans the house; she feeds thepets, and she still finds time to spend with us.
My mother is always busy, but she says that her favorite time is time that she spends
with us.My mother works from Monday to Friday.When she comes home from work, she makes something for supper.We usually do the dishes, so that she won't have to do them.
After supper she helps us with our homework, or she sits down to watch television.
Some nights she goes shopping, and she takes whoever wants to go with her.
Mothers are a little bit of everything.My mother is like a teacher when she helps us with our homework.She is like a nurse when she looks after us when we're ill.
She is like a cook when she makes meals for us. She says that cleaning the house is her least favorite thing.She says that the house gets dirty again right after you clean it.
She gets my father, my brothers, sister and me to help her with the cleaning.
My mother washes all our clothes, and sometimes she irons them if they need it.
My mother says that there are not enough hours in a day.We try to help my mother as much as we can.There is a lot of work involved in keeping a home neat and organized.
Most of my friends' mothers work.Mothers are the people who you go to when you need to be comforted.Mothers are the people who can make you feel better.I'm glad that I have the mother that I have.My mother is caring and funny.She is fun to be around.
A Surprise
Last Friday my dad came home from work and said that he had a surprise for us.
We tried to guess what the surprise might be.My brother guessed that we were going out for dinner.My dad said "no."My other brother asked if my father had tickets to a hockey game.My dad said "no."My sister asked if we were going on a trip.
My dad said "no."My mother knew what the surprise was, so she just stood and smiled at us.I guessed that we might be getting a swimming pool.My dad said "no."
We were getting very frustrated trying to guess what the surprise might be.
My brother asked how big the surprise was.My dad said that the surprise was quite small.
We were not sure what the surprise could be."Will we all like it?" I asked."Yes" my dad replied.Every one of you will love this surprise.We heard a noise.It was a crying noise.
"Your surprise wants to see you," my dad said.He opened the door to the bedroom, and a tiny puppy came running out.We were all very excited.Our surprise was a puppy.
It was a little baby spaniel.The puppy loved all of us.She ran around and licked all of our faces.We had always wanted a dog.We take turns feeding the puppy and taking her out for walks.She is growing quickly and will soon be an adult dog.We all agree that the puppy was the nicest surprise that my dad could have given us
