Have fun reading!

Even though the four of them lived in a huge house, they still preferred to sleep in the same room. There house was big with five rooms in the basement and 3 on the top floor. They were all very close cousins and loved to do things together.


Walking out the back door, Sandy looked at the beautiful yard that they had put in. The back yard had a beautiful garden with many plants growing. Six different planters through out the yard, all with flowers and bushes. There were 12 trees in the middle of the yard (planted in a circle) and in the middle of the trees was gazebo. The gazebo had a tale on it with some chairs and flower pots all over. There were also two hammocks. Now besides the 12 trees there was n orchard with 150 trees. They had planted apple, peach, cherry and plum trees. There was also, definitely, a lot of grass to run and play on.

If you were in the front yard there would also be much to see. A beautiful walk way up to the front door that had flowers all along the way on both sides. There were also 2 other planters on each side of the front yard. There were 8 trees in the front. Each were in clusters of four (on each side), and in the middle of the trees there was a bench and some more flowers. Plus there was plenty of grass to run on, just like the back yard.

While Sandy was going through all this in her mind Amy had come out and was also looking around.

“It sure is a beautiful yard isn’t it? Asked Amy with some pride in her voice.

“Yes,” said Sandy, breathing in the fresh air. “Alright let’s get to work. You can begin pulling the weeds out and I’ll start mowing the lawn.



They finished cleaning and fixing up the whole yard by the time it was 11:30. Now it was five to 12 and they were just finishing cleaning up.

“Jessica are you ready to go to your party? If you are you can leave any time you want. We’ll finish the guest rooms tomorrow.”

“Yes, I just need to gather my things.”

“Alright. Amy, Lauren, how about we go and hang out in the music room?”

“We’ll be right down!” They called out together.

Sandy sat down at one of the four pianos and began to play. Amy and Lauren came in and Lauren asked, “Well, should we play a duet or something. We could sing that song you’ve been working on.”

“Good idea, ok we will sing it. We’ll each sing a verse and we’ll sing the chorus together.”

Sandy began to sing the intro and Amy began to sing. In the middle of the chorus the door bell rang. They had all been sitting on a piano bench and jumped up and ran to the door at the same time. Sandy reaching the door first opened it.

“Hi Jake and Erin, where’s the rest of your family?”

“There on their way over.” Jake replied.

“Ok, why don’t you two come on in the house. So, guess what we are doing tonight?

“What?” Asked the twins who came in the door way with their parents and little sister.

“Well hello you two!” Sandy said with a smile bending down to give Kyle and Carson, the twins, a hug. “How are my little adventure buddies doing?”

“Good.” They said in unison.

“Sandy, Lauren and Amy, are you sure you are ok doing this?” Mike asked with a smile.

“Of course they are.” Jessica replied walking down the stairs. “Well I’ve got to go to my work party. I’ll be back around five. Oh and I’ll stop at the grocery store and get that list you gave me.”

“Ok, thanks Jess. See you later.” Sandy called as Jessica walked out the door.

“Bye,” called the twins, waving there arms wildly.

“Bye you two.” Jessica called back.

“Mike they will be fine, why would you ever worry about them. Oh by the way Sandy, my mom called and said they might send some on early to help get everything situated.”

“That’s fine with me. Well why don’t you to go well feed them dinner and everything you can even come home later if you want.”

“We’ll think about it, now I want all of you to be well behaved.” Amanda said looking at her children.

“Bye,” her and her husband said together and walked out of the house, closing the door behind them.
