Need to go out? Wanna go for a run? Well then, your going to need to tie your shoes. If you don't know how, read on!
Step 1: Grab the laces (string-like pieces) by the plastic tips.
Step 2: Cross them in an X.
Step 3: Pull the back lace around the front one, and through the hole you created by making an X in step 2.
Step 4: Pull each lace to the sides tightly.
Step 5: Make a loop using one lace, but hold the other lace, so you don't lose maximum tightness.
Step 6: Make a loop with the othe lace, still holding the other in its loop, and still holding both tightly to the sides.
Step 7: Now, cross these loops in an X, like step 2.
Step 8: Now pull the back loop around the front one and through the hole, on the bottom, that you made by crossing them. Remember to leave enough of the loop in the hole to be able to tighten it.
Step 9: Now pull each loop to the side tightly, but dont pull it all the way through, or you will have to restart.
Step 10: For a double knot, please repeat steps 5-9. Never pull to tightly on the double knot, or you will have an extremely hard time undoing your shoe.
Well, thanks for reading, and stay tuned for How to Tie Your Shoes 2: Undone!

Place Desription: My Room
Peaceful is the only way to describe it. Houses everywhere, with large front windows, but although every home was very different, in a way they were the same; they all had friendly people with friendly families living inside them. Different cars, vans and trucks, ranging in colour from dark purple to bright yellow, but there was one home that had a great difference. Inside there lived triplets! this house had a large willow/maple tree in its front yard, provididng shade. Two cars, a yellow Ford Ranger, and a White Ford Windstar, sat in the driveway, along with a trailer, that was white, and had a pop-up ceiling, beside which was a basketball net.
In the backyard, there was a large, round, aboveground pool, which had a deck wrapped around one end, directly next to the house. next to the pool was a garden, that took up the space all the way along the back of the yard, ranging from two small maple trees, to a variety of colourful flowers. Along the fence, in the middle of the open grass, their was an evergreen tree, which, although it was fading, still looked very majestic. Next, was the house, which had a large deck, leading up to the back door of the home, which was glass with a white frame and slid to the side.
Inside the house, from the back door, there was a kitchen. Inside this kitchen, there was a large stainless steel fridge, directly across the room fro mthe door, with a table lying betwwen them, surrounded by the chairs that the family sat in to eat dinner. Next to and above the fridge, were cabinets and cupboards galore, filled with everything from food to garbage bags. Beside the door, there is a small garbage can, with a foot pedal lid, and beside that, the counter, which had the dishwasher under it, with its stainless steel door. The counter was spwecled black and white, and had a sink and cupboards filled with kitchen supplies, and above the sink were more cabinets, for the bowls, cups, plates, and other such dinner items. Next, was the stainless steel stove, which had a group of drawers, cubpoards, and cabinets surrounding it. Beside the stove, was a larde archway, which led to a room that had a hall, which led to a young boy's room.
This room, had a white wooden door, with a Steve Yzerman Detroit Red Wings poster on the front, and Lord of the Rings poster on the back. behind the door, was a Harry Potter poster, under which was a set of hooks in the shape of a hockey stick, on which hung sweaters, and a bath robe. Next to this was a closet, filled to the brim with clothes and toys long forgotten. Beside the closet was computer, black, with a glossy finish, made by Gateway, next to a desk, filled with trophies on its top shelf, and under these trophies was the monitor to the computer, made by samsung with a black glossy finish, widescreen, 22'. Beside this was a shelf, with pictures of many events in the owners life, and under these, an old CD plater, with a VCR in front of it. Under this was a series of drawers, filled with many different items, from video games and movies, to old medals from sporting events and even a drumstick signed by the drummer of the band Destroyer. Next to the desk was a TV, with an old Xbox and VHS movies underneath it on a shelf. In front of this was the boy's bed, large, a double bed, with striped blankets, and a blanket with a picture of the old Detroit Tiger's stadium on it. above this was a window, with a Tecumseh Eagles Sticker on it, and a red blind. Beside the bed was a book shelf, filled with hundereds of the many books the owner had read plus a model viper, and some souvenirs from his vacations. On an empty wall beside the shelf. there was three posters of cars, a Saleen, and two Ferraris, on a Ferrari Enzo, and the other a Ferrari Spider. Next was a blue dresser, with a certificate from the optimist club above itm and a globe, an old music box, a metal Knight statue, a clock, and many other items, including the owners most prized possesion, his money!

Samantha Funkenhauser of Grade 4F
She sat on her bed, with its bright pink covers, and four posts with a canopy, in her bedroom, with its bright green walls spotted with frogs, her computer in the far corner of the room, covered in stickers of frogs and soccer balls and other sports stickers, with its very clean desk. Beside her bed late for many webkinz piled up, growing with every year, as her birthday passed. There she said giggling with her friends, as they discussed and their likes and dislikes of their siblings, with Samantha having a brother and a sister, with the brother being younger and her sister being older, while they played with her webkinz, slightly fidgeting because they were so uncomfortable.
They smiled happily as they knew they were both very popular amongst their friends and they both liked to talk a lot. Then her friend asked what she been reading lately, and Samantha grew very angry!
“Leave this instant and don’t come back!” Samantha yelled.
After her friend had left Samantha quickly tidied her room, and then sat down on her computer to talk to her friends on MSN, play online Webkinz, and to play on miniclips.com, which is a gaming site on the internet. As she sat, playing on her computer, her surroundings look almost like they were part of her, frogs on the walls matching her love for them, webkinz piled around her, and her bright pink bed sheets with their smiley faces, that went so well with her face, that never stopped smiling, unless she grew angry. On her computer background was a British flag with a line through it, and her favorite sites linked directly there. So, she blended in as the night drew on.

Travelogue of Blue Mountain/Wasaga Beach
Beautiful mountains, long beaches, beautiful lakes, fine dining, and amazing shopping! You will find this. and much more, at the Blue Mountain resort and ski lodge!
Whether it's snowboarding and skiing in the winter, mountain biking, hiking, paint balling, or even relaxing on a beach, at Blue Mountain and Wasaga Beach, you can do it all!
On our first day, we will arrive at the extravagant Blue Mountain hotel, with its indoor pool, soothing spa, game room, and restaurant, and receive the location of where we will be staying, whether it be extraordinary mountain-side condos, a room in the hotel itself, a condo beside the shopping village, a lake-side hotel room, at the second hotel, or a cottage on the mountain, and we will begin our stay.
Now, we head off to ride the excellent water slides in a tube, spinning, ans swirling, down, down, down, until we hit the pool at the bottom with a crash!
After drying off, we head down to the Blue Mountain Village, to eat our hearts out at one of the many gourmet restaurants, or even order a custom pizza and head back to our condo, for a relaxing dinner. Best of all, we can go for dessert at one of many different places, for example Ben & Jerry's Ice cream, or the Beaver Tails shop.
Next, we relax at the Blue Mountain private beach, watching the magnificent, rainbow sunset, and then return to our condo, for a good nights rest, or order a movie, from the huge list of films offered, from the oldest to the newest movie you can think of!
Day 2 of our trip, we head up the gondolas, to the top of the mountain, where we hike our way up to the Scenic Caves, where we hike and climb through ancient Indian caves, and even slide your way through the dreaded crack known as "Fat Man's Death"! after we are done, we ride back to the bottom, and rent mountain bikes and equipment, and ride back to the top, and bike down, using the ramps, bumps, and mad turns, until we reach the bottom, and then we can do it again. Now, we go shopping in the Blue Mountain Village, buying clothes, food, and souvenirs galore!
After we finish, we buy ice cream, and go back to our condo, where we relax, and soon, make our dinner, using the groceries we have brought with us, and then we watch our favourite shows, and play video games on our large television.
Day 3 of our trip, we go to Wasaga Beach, with its massive shopping center, and its extremely long, sensational beach! Then, we turn around, and run to to the massive water slides awaiting us! Soon after we head farther away, and spend the day at Canada's Best Paintball Centre, Wasaga Paintball!
Once we return home, we buy some chips, and drinks, and watch a movie that the resort has scheduled for tonight, and the cinema size blow up screen!
Day 4, our final day, we head to the village for one last shopping spree, when suddenly we see the rock climbing wall standing tall before us! After climbing we shop 'til we drop, and then play some volleyball in the volleyball pit near where we stay.
Once we have sweated to our hearts content, we grab our bathing suits, ande spend our short time remaining, swimming and relaxing in the hotel pool and spa, and then pack our bags, and go to beautiful Wasaga Beach for a short while, before heading home.
