I love Mother's day

On Mother’s day, my mum and I got ready to go to church. We had some breakfast and had a warm shower. After we were ready, we walked to our church across the road.

When we got there, my mum and I sat down to listen to the gospel of the lord. After church we walked back home.

We were making some food for lunch because we were feeling hungry.. We had toast with cheese and a warm milo each. Before we ate our food, we said a prayer and my dad did as well, so he joined us. After prayer we ate straight away, our toasties were so delicious.

After a while, we played on my brothers ipad. The game that we played was called g switch. It is about a game that has gravity and you have to run on strips of brick and it is an endless game when you run. I also played another game called Sports Hero. It is a game where you go into teams and you are partnered up with someone else who is also online and with that person, you have to try and win the race against other players.

While we were playing G switch and Sports Hero, my mum, dad, auntie, and uncle were cooking dinner. For dinner, they made chicken, salad, yam, pork and barbecue steak. For dessert, my brother and I made Lemon Butter Scotch cake and a creamy chocolate ice-cream with rainbow sprinkles as the topping. After cooking and baking it was time to taste the delicious food. When it came for tasting the dessert my brother and I gave our cards that we wrote for our mum to her. She was crying happy tears. I love Mother's day!

My favourite part was when I gave my mum the card that I had written because my mum was so happy.

Our big tidy up!

In the weekend my family and I decided to clean up the house because it was messy and also because my uncle and aunties have moved out.

My mum told us that we all had a room to clean. My mum cleaned the bathroom, dad cleaned the living room, my brother cleaned the kitchen, my sister cleaned her toys and I cleaned up the bedrooms.

My brother washed the dishes, put away the dishes, wiped the table and cleaned the cupboard in the kitchen. I arranged the furniture, tidied the beds, folded the clothes and vacuumed the bedrooms. Mum washed the dirty sink, wiped the mirrors, washed the bath tub and the shower in the bathroom. My dad tidied the couch, wiped the TV stand and vacuumed the living room.

When we finished our big tidy up, my mum and dad inspected the rooms that we were responsible for to make sure that we have tidied and cleaned them up properly. After checking the rooms we all had a break with a warm milo and the adults had some hot coffee.

I did not like cleaning the house, but I know that this means that we can be healthier and not get diseases from the germs around our house.

My favourite part was when I was cleaning the bedrooms because I found some money while I was tidying up and my mum told me that I could keep the money
