These days my children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 years old and my boy is already in junior high school. It seems that our house is becoming smaller and(small). We decided(have) a yard sale so that we can give the money to a children's house.

Each of us will send five old things after  (clear) out the things from our bedrooms. Of course, my son felt a little sad first because he still wanted to keep the toys. He ever played with them so much. As you see, he  (have) his train and railway set since he was four years old. And he played with it almost every day until about seven years old. He also wanted to keep his toy monkey. Every night he slept next to the toy monkey as a child. We could remember that forever. My daughter was sad to part some of her toys, too.
