Cleaning Your Room

It was a Friday night and I was stuck with the duty of babysitting my 3 cousins. They are currently 6, 8 and 9 years old. At this time they were 4, 6, and 7 years old. It was a normal day and we decided to play some house tag. We would run around the house playing tag. The girls were so happy because tag was one of their favorite games to play. After playing tag we went down stairs and I quickly went into my room to get something and one of the girls followed. When she came into my room she got so excited. I did not understand what a little girl would be so excited about. I asked her why she was so excited and she said your room is so dirty. She immediately started cleaning my room with the biggest smile I have ever seen. Standing there in shock because I have never seen a person get so excited over cleaning a dirty room. After a while I came back down to see what she was doing. My room was spotless. There was not one piece of clothing on the ground and there was a bag full of loose papers and garbage. She asked me if she could vacuum my room but I declined since I already felt bad that she had cleaned my whole room. For the rest of the night we watched a movie and ate some popcorn. Eventually the girls went home. I went down to my newly cleaned room where I sat laughing about an excited little girl who cleaned my room.

the perfect snow day

On a cold Wednesday in the middle of January. Kari, Christie, Neve and  I were at Westside getting ready to go home for the night. We had recently spent the day working out and swimming. We sat in the warm building eating our dinners. All of a sudden Neve's phone rang. she answered in a normal manner not knowing the excitement that was soon to come. She then put the phone on speaker. We are all confused and unsure why she would want to let us hear her conversation with her mother.We listened to the conversation with little to no interest. Until we heard the word snow day. We all jumped up and started dancing  and rejoiceing due to the fact that we did not have school the next day. After a few seconds of dancing we realized that everyone was starring at us, like we were weirdos! Abruptly we sat down due to the embarrassment. Not wanting to go home and do nothing we decided to go to Neve's house where we hung out for a few more hours. We made some hot chocolate and ate some oatmeal cookies. we then sat down to watch a few episodes of the television show "Bones." After the episodes were over we decided to play a few games of twister where both Kari, and Neve beat me. After a great day of staying up late knowing that we would not have school the next day we finally went home. When I got home i went to my warm bed where I got comfy and supper warm and fell right asleep. The next day I slept  in, had some delicious pancakes, and decided to take the rest of the day off to relax. It was one of my best carefree days I have ever had.
