George Washington (1732-1799) was commander in chief of the continental army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and served to terms as the U.S. president (1789-1797). The son of a prosperous planter, Washington was raised in colonial Virginia. When he was a young man, he worked as a surveyor then fought in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). In 1787 he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, he became America's first president. Less than three years after leaving office, he died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at age 67. On January 6 1759, he married Martha Custis. George started off with a sore throat, his conditioned worsened and late in the evening, on December 14 1799, he died of quinsy.
Washington received he initial Military training and command with the Virginia Regiment during the French and Indian War. Washington utilized slave labor, owning and trading African American slaves but he became troubled with the institution of slavery and freed them in his 1799 will. Washington never occupied the white house, which was not finished until after his death. Although he oversaw the construction of the white house he never lived in it. Ashleigh

I had the best time in New Jersey...but i got to say...LOTS of traffic. I felt bad for Maddie (aka the one who drove the whole way there ). But when you get into the neighborhood, Beautiful trees and flowers.
I got to look for plastic Easter eggs and i won a prize for winning the Easter egg hunt. A drawing set, fun flying things (i din't look at the box to see what the were) a whoopee cushion (but it broke when i sat on it just like the weird flying things lost there wings) :(. I came home with a bag of: Sour patch kids (watermelon), Ring pops, Caramel creams, a big chocolate Mr m&m and a chocolate bunny. Ashleigh P.S. Maddie almost hit a bunny and i almost killed her. Before I start I want to say sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy! Oh and i'm not going to be around Thursday-Monday because i'm going to my Aunt's and Uncle's for Easter. But have a good Easter and i will see you then.
The castle guards quickly hurried into the Snugly Duckling with Flynn's escape mates. Flynn and Rapunzel hid under the counter. Maxims came in and Flynn mumbled: When is that stupid horse going to give up. One of the guys quickly jumped over the counter and opened a secret hatch and said: you have a good dream, go live it. Flynn blushed. He quickly said: Not you, your dream was stupid. Rapunzel smiled. Soon, they were racing through long tunnels under the Snugly Duckling. Maxims was sniffing around and caught his sent. He saw a latch and the captain opened and they ran after Flynn and Rapunzel. As Mother Gothem waited, a man came out of the Snugly Duckling, and she said as she stepped out of the shadows: Excess me, i'm looking for my daughter, do you know were that tunnel leads. Inside the Snugly Duckling Flynn's escape mate's (The Stabbington brothers) elbowed the guard and raced into Flynn and Rapunzel's way, blocking the exit. Rapunzel quickly lassoed a rock with her hair and pulled Flynn and herself over there heads. Maxims quickly kicked over a broken wooden board and it landed over the river making a bridge, but also opened a big pipe full of water causing a flood. Rapunzel quickly grabbed Flynn and lassoed a tree on a high up hill, losing the guards, The Stabbington brothers and Maxims. Soon they had started a fire and Flynn went to look for wood. When he left, Mother Gothem stepped into view and she told her see was worried about her Rapunzel said she was fine and said that the outside wasn't as bad as she said. Mother Gothem said she could stay but to come back because she learned from experiences that people usually betray other people. Then she quickly dispersed into the shadows. When Flynn came back with the fire wood, Rapunzel was quiet until Flynn asked if she was alright and she said yes. Then, Maxims came out of the woods and Rapunzel told him to please stop chasing him for 1 day, he agreed. Soon they were at the town and a bunch of hair braiders and quickly made all of her hair a big braid. Soon it was night time and (her birthday) and Flynn and Rapunzel got in a boat to see the lanterns, As they where going back, the Stabbington brothers blocked there path. He told Rapunzel to go wait by the boat. Ashleigh Karate is a good way to protect yourself. I go to karate at USA karate in Jaffery NH. You can learn forms, punches, kicks, sparring, techniques, stretching and make lots of friends. If you want to call and set up a free week for your kid to try it out , call 532-2400.
Here are some of the punches we do: The front punch, the back punch, the frost punch, the leopards paw, the tiger claw, the tigers mouth, the chickens wrist, and the eye of the phoenix. I like the tigers claw the most because i like tigers but i also think the chicken wrist is funny. Ashleigh Being sneaky is not a good thing to be. I have been sneaky before. I have taken other's food with out asking. I have also done a lot of other bad things like sneaking off when I was supposed to do my schoolwork. Daddy calls it learning the hard way, like putting your hand on a hot stove to learn it burns, instead of just believing it when someone tells you not to touch it or you will be burned. Not fun.
Here are some examples of people being sneaky: Sam's dad just went to the donut shop but had to go to the bathroom, without asking. Sam saw and ate the donuts in the bag. (No offense to anyone named Sam). Being sneaky makes your friends not trust you. That is why i am going to stop being sneaky. Me and Daddy do Karate, at karate we have five dojo rules: Effort, Etiquette, Sincerity, Character and Self control. Every day, you should ask yourself: How did i do yesterday? and go over the five rules in your head. Here is what they mean in case you don't know: Effort means to put a lot of time and work into the problem. Etiquette means to be polite, neat and clean. Sincerity means to not lie, and to be honest. Character means to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Self control means to control your self and your actions. I hope you won't ever be sneaky and that you too will follow the five rules. Ashleigh I love Easter! Even though last year I didn't get any candy from the Easter Bunny. This year, I'm going to my Aunt Michelle's house and have Easter with her and Uncle Rick. They live in New Jersey. It will be boring to just sit in the car for five or six hours, but Daddy usually lets me play with his iPad.
I am exited though! I always come home with a big half eaten chocolate bunny. We play Chase the Ace and watch TV. I watch Sponge Bob with Uncle Rick. I sometimes play with Willy and Mitzy. When we come home, we pick up Jupiter from the kennel ( I don't know what it's called ), and we head home. P.S. I hope you have a good Easter! Ashleigh When Flynn awoke, he din't bother to look for his bag. He said "I will take you to the lanterns, if you give me my bag."
Soon they were off. As soon as she got to the ground she began having fun. Flynn took her to a place called the Snugly Duckling. Just then, a mob started coming at them shaking WANTED posters with Flynn's face on it. Rapunzel hopped on a table and banged her frying pan on a nearby pot and yelled "Put him down!" Everybody turned and looked at her as she said "Have you ever wanted to do something but never did it yet?" Every body did. Flynn wanted to own an island. Mother Gothem was strolling though the forest and heard Rapunzel's voice. She looked though the window and saw her. She quickly ducked behind the building Will be continued tomorrow... Ashleigh . |
