My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school.
我的孩子們長得很快。女兒16歲了，小兒子也開始讀初中了。
As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller.
隨著他們的成長，房子顯得越來越小了。
So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children's home.
于是我們打算在賣場賣掉些物品，然后用換來的錢給孩子們的房間置辦點東西。
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms.
我們已經從各自臥室里清理出很多物品。
We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use.
我們也決定每人賣掉5件不再使用的物品。
My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them.
兒子起初有點難過。雖然那些舊玩具伴隨了他很長的時間，但是他還是舍不得賣掉。
For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven.
比如說，在他四歲生日那天，他擁有了一個小火車和鐵路。從那以后一直到他7歲的時候，他幾乎每周都和小火車愉快地玩耍。
And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child.
并且他也不想賣掉玩具熊。他很小的時候就和玩具熊一起睡覺。
My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
女兒雖然懂事點，但是和她的玩具分開的時候還是有點難過。
As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!
對于我來說，我不想放棄我的足球衣，但是說實話，我也不是經常踢球。我也老了。
