So our mum went to our church, it was just across the street. She told us while she's gone never answer the door, never answer the phone no matter who it is. So we cleaned up while she was gone and we made breakfast, it was only me and my brother. Then suddenly someone knocked on the door, me and my brother just stayed quiet, so he or she kept knocking, then it was my mum, she was testing us if we would listen to her or not

Then after that she went and picked up our dad.

So I slept then woke up again I was tired, I could barely see anything so I just went back to sleep and Cuddled up in the blankets. I heard my mum trying to wake me, she was trying to tell me that shes going to pick up my brother and my sister. But I could barely hear her voice
Punishment
So we were all doing the laundry my brother was folding it upstairs, My mum told me to go get something for her, and I forgot because I was playing with my brother, we were both wrestling on the bed. While I was trying to remember I asked my mum what was it again, then she said that if you can't remember you have to go sleep. I couldn't remember so I just went and slept
Helping mum with laundry
So we were all done with cleaning house and all those times our mum was organizing the laundry she told us that we were going to have to fold it. And even on the time we were just relaxing, she told us to do more work with her.

The long phone call
So after we went to the supermarket, we were about to go home until my mum stopped in a parking and answered her phone. I thought she was only going to take like 30 - 50 seconds. But she took like 30 minutes, while we were all board to death!!!.
Picking up our sister.
So after that we went in the van and picked up our big sister. She was waiting for us in the train. She goes to school in Manukau. She works as a chef. So after we picked her up we went to the shop and the supermarket to buy some things. We were going home until, one very boring thing happened.
Some time to myself
So when we cleaned up the house, my brothers went outside while I had a little me time to myself, and there were no problems to solve, all of my problems just drifted away and all that was in my mind was relaxation
Chores chores chores!!!!
So after I ate me and my brothers cleaned the house again while my mum was outside doing the laundry, I mostly do the chores by myself, but it's nice for my brothers to help me do it together, and even my little baby brother was helping too.
Finally!!!
So our big sisters is finally back in school, and we can have more times to ourselves, and we don't need someone being our boss. We are really excited to have some brother time together.
Alone breakfast!!!

Sleeping in while everyones awake!!!
It was 11:00 in the morning everyone was awake, I was just sleeping and relaxing in my bed. When my brothers came and woke me up. By playing in the hallway upstairs, but that didn't bother me, I was just sleeping.

Mums big mistake
While my mum was going to pick up our dad and we were waiting with our big sister our dad was already at home. So after 30 minutes of my mum waiting for my father. She went back home with a really tired and worried face. Then she just saw dad sitting in the lounge. The she just went and slept
Dads arrival!!
So our dad arrived from his work and we were all so happy, even my little baby brother went crazy and ran to him with a great big hug!!!.
Forgiveness!!
I let my brother play with me, even though all the bad things he's done to me, I still forgave him because I wouldn't want anyone angry at me, and I can't stay angry at him forever.
His point of view
I let my brother play because, I thinked about it from his point of view, if only I was him I would feel the same way, so I understand his point of view and I thought I would let him feel that way, because I know that no one wants to feel that way/
Feeling sad!!!
So he was grounded from everything, I saw him sitting on the chair with a sad face, and he was just staring at the ground. So I told him that he could come and play with me.
Annoying sounds!!!
So we were all doing our own things until we heard my little brother crying because he lost in a game with my other little brother, wesley. I told him it's just a game then he just shouted at me and said, at least you're playing by yourself!!, so our mum told him he was grounded from all technology.
A little rest!!!
So after all the things we did we decided to take a little rest for tonight. So we all slept and relaxed together in the lounge
My culture!!
Tonga is a Polynesian kingdom of more than 170 South Pacific islands, many unseen, most lined in white beaches and coral reefs and covered with tropical rainforest. The main island, Tongatapu, is protected by lagoons and limestone cliffs. It’s home to the rural capital of Nuku'alofa, as well as beach resorts, plantations and the Ha'amonga ʻa Maui, a coral gate from the 1200s.
Tonga became known in the West as the Friendly Islands because of the congenial reception accorded to Captain James Cook on his first visit in 1773. He arrived at the time of the ʻinasi festival, the yearly donation of the First Fruits to the Tuʻi Tonga (the islands' paramount chief) and so received an invitation to the festivities. According to the writer William Mariner, the chiefs wanted to kill Cook during the gathering but could not agree on a plan.
What!!!
So when I heard my mum say no, my reaction was what!!, and she told me that I should be happy for her, because she can have a rest before she starts a rough week of school, and I said fair enough. When I went tell my brothers they said they already knew, and they were more disappointed than me because our sister can sometimes always tell us what to do, and she can sometimes be bossy!!.
The wake up call
It was so relaxing in my comfy bed, I was thinking about all the things I was going to do today, And i was getting ready my brain for another beautiful day until something really wrong happened. I heard a scream of the two little annoying voices of my brothers, they said, Hey we're having breakfast. Then I just went back to sleep, cause I didn't even care about what they said. In my brain it was all blank.

Surprising welcome!!!
While we were in the car going back home, my dad said that he had surprise for us, and we all asked him what was is and he told us to wait until we go home. We came up with some ideas of what the surprise will be like, a ps4 or rainbows end, then our sister came downstairs and said hi, then we said where's the surprise, and he said it's right in front of us. Then we all were disappointed that the surprise was our sister. My little brother said that she should've stayed at my aunt's house for 2 years. A ps4 would've been a better surprise
Home sweet home!!!
So I woke up, it was really sad that I couldn't go to church, I was really looking forward for it. But only my aunties that stayed with my nana went to their church. I wanted to go with them, but I did'nt have some church clothes. In my mind I thought that clothes don't matter only the thought. So we all ate breakfast and waited for dad to arrive. So when he did my little baby brother ran to him and hugged him, I was really happy when he arrived. We all were. HOME SWEET HOME!!.
