Hey guys! Welcome to my house (part 1)!



Hi TH 6!  Do you miss me?  I miss you too.  Now-

-wait.

Why are you walking away?

Hey.  HEY, I SEE YOU.  I SEE YOU!  COME BACK HERE!



Yeah, sit down.  You'll like this, I promise.

Everything is great here in Bellevue.  The weather is cool, but the air is fresh and clean.  The neighborhood is full of colorful flowers.  I get to see my family and friends every day, and I'm not very busy.  I don't start school until July, so right now I have A LOT of free time.

Today, I'm going to show you around my house.  Hope you enjoy it!



This is our house.  My dad, mom, brother, and I all live here.  Our neighborhood is called Newport Heights.  We usually have three cars out in front, but my mom and dad were away when I took this picture.

Here are some pictures of my mom's garden:




My mom's garden doesn't just have flowers...




See those two bushes without leaves in the middle?  Those are blueberry bushes.  She also grows a lot of fruits and vegetables for us to eat!

How about we go inside?



This is our living room.  If you look really carefully, you can see our cat Shadow sleeping on top of the sofa.  Here's a closer picture.

 
This is one of Shadow's favorite spots because she can look out the window and she what's happening.  What are you looking at Shadow?  Maybe she thinks I'm annoying...

Did you pay attention to anything else in our living room?  Something from a holiday?  Yep, you guessed it!


Easter is in two days, so my mom put up a bunch of decorations.  My brother and I are too old to do Easter egg hunts, but that's ok!  It still looks cool!

Let's walk through the living room...


...and to the kitchen!


Tr. Stephen says, "Turn to your right!"


Now, open the door.


Tr. Stephen didn't say, "Open the door."  AHAHAHAHAHAHA!


What kinds of food can you see in our refrigerator?  Where do you think meat goes?  How about vegetables?  How much milk do we have?  How many eggs do we have?



If you look to your right, you can see our microwave (above) and stove (below).  We use these to cook food.  I like to use the microwave because I'm a little lazy.  Only a little, though.



On your left is our sink (where we wash dishes) and our dish washer.  I wash dishes all the time, it's one of the chores I like doing.



Our dining room is straight ahead.  In America, some families have a wall between their dining room and our kitchen.  In our house, the kitchen and dining room are right next to each other.  It's very convenient (方便).

What's that on the table?  It doesn't look like food.


It's a card game!  Not Magic, this one's called Netrunner.  It's about people who can go inside computers.  Crazy stuff, huh?  It's a new game my brother bought at the store.

Oh, look behind you.  There's a big door.


What's inside?  Don't worry, we're not playing "Tr. Says".  You can open it if you want...



Ah, this is our pantry.  Most houses in America have one.  The pantry is where you put your food that doesn't need to be cold.  This is where you will see bread, cereal, and food in cans.  Are there any foods you know about?  Are there any you have never seen before?

Looking to your left, you can see the door to our backyard.  


We will be going through these doors in Part 2.  I don't want to make these posts too long or they might be too boring to read.  Let me know if you like this post, if it's too short or too long, or if you want me to do something different.  You can also let me know if there's something about America that you want to learn about.  Maybe I can do a post about it.

If you have any questions, you can ask me in the comments below.

I hope you guys are doing ok in Tree House, and that you like Tr. David.  

Until Next time!

  2. Hi Janice,

    Aw, I miss you too, so much. You might think it's surprising, but our house isn't that big to other Americans. Everything is bigger in America! My parents weren't home when I took those pictures. I should have taken pictures of them too! It is cold when you go snowboarding, but your body moves around a lot, so it isn't that bad. You only feel cold when you are sitting down! Hope you're doing well in school, Janice. Talk to you later!
