You may have already read my previous post. And of course it was all about idioms. This week we got to pick our own topic. But the hard part is that we have to write our story with as many idioms as possible.
What would you do if there was no school for a day and you and your sister had to baby-sit two babies less than two years of age? Well of course you would go crazy. Just like my sister.
Now you will see how rough it can be to take care of two babies. But it can also be fun.
On January 16, 2006, on a Monday, we had no school that day. And since my sister has been babysitting {so have I} she and our family have been trying our best to save money for our trip in to weeks. Well I guess we should get back to babysitting. Everybody knows babysitting is hard work. But at the same time it can be a lot of fun.
On my day off from school, my aunt came with David at 6:30 a.m. Of course I was half awake, half asleep. And he was in a very deep sleep. At about 6:50 a.m. he woke up crying. So I came and hugged him.
Around 7:00 a.m. he begged me to take him into the living room to watch Barney. Believe me I was about to hit the roof. I had to lend an ear to him
Later on that day I played hide and seek with him, we also went outside on the swings, once in a while.
Then at 2:20 p.m. my baby cousin April, came. Every time they see each other they start smiling. It was much more fun when the three of us were together. We had a lot of fun. It was as easy as pie taking care of them.
When their parents came for them they said good bye and off they went. I sure was ready for another day with them!
What would you do if you had to baby-sit a baby or babies by yourself or with an other person?
Graciela -
I have a one-year old daughter who keeps my life very busy! I know how tiring baby sitting can be, but it is also a lot of fun.
Did you enjoy using idioms in your writing? I want you to try to use at least one idiom in every post now. Do you think that will be hard?
Your story was very interesting. Could you have added more details to your story? Remember to paint a picture with your words as you write.
Keep up the good work!
