the birthday party chapter 5

It was a cool Saturday evening, when aunt sandra, jason, eleanor, and I were walking on the sidewalk to mrs bailey's house.

mrs bailey and her husband mr bailey both invited us to their youngest daughter miley's birthday party.

mrs bailey had already given me an invitation to the party from the day I saw her at the park .

when i arrived there, I could see many children running around with miley in the yard.

It was miley's fourth birthday.

The yard was decorated with the colours white, pink and purple as they are Miley's favourite colours. 

Since the theme of the party was a  unicorn, the bouncy castle, the birthday cake, the ice cream, the balloons, and the Pinata was a unicorn .

i danced to grooving music. One of my favourite music and dance at the party was the cha-cha slide.

most of the children got their faces painted by the clown.

jason and I wanted our faces to be painted as well ,but aunt sandra said that we are too old for that. except for eleanor , she was the youngest one, so she got a chance to paint her face.

instead the clown gave jason and I two funny shaped balloon animals . the colour if my balloon was pink and the colour of Jason's balloon was blue.

Next, Miley cut the cake with her older siblings the twins , Jessica and James.

After the birthday cake was cut, each of the guests was given a slice of the cake, corn beef and peanut butter sandwiches, fruit juice and a cup of ice cream.

Next, the guest handed out presents for miles on a plastic table.

Eleanor and I together got a doll and a dress for her.

Then, Miley and her friends went into the bouncy house, they jumped and played. 

Us the older kids were feeling left out because we were not allowed into the bouncy house as it was build for small children.  

Instead, Mrs bailey made us play fun party games like musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey. I happened to win one round of the game.

Next, it was time to open the pinata. Everyone got two tries to smack the pinata blindfolded.

The pinata had been hit ten times, but still no candy.

After it had been hitter over and over with tough smacks of finally busted open and everyone rushed to see who could get more candy.

Soon the party was over and people started leaving. Aunt Sandra, Jason, Eleanor and I started back to help Mrs Bailey clean the yard.

I picked up lots of garbage. There were snack bags, juice cups, ice cream cups, paper plates, party hats, candy wrappers, plastic forks and lots of confetti from the yard.

Also, I helped to stack the plastic chairs and the plastic tables  in the front yard so that they could be loaded into the van.

After all this work we got tired. 

"Thank you very much, I don't know how to pay you for helping me", Mrs bailey thanked us.

" you don't have to pay us, the best we can do for gods people needs no reward", aunt Sandra replied.

Still, Mrs bailey insisted and she gave us a dish with cake and a large cup filled with ice cream.

"Please take it. If it wasn't for you I would still be cleaning for ages", she said.

So aunt sandra took the cake from mrs bailey.

" Thank you very much and take", said aunt Sandra.

Then we left, when we got home aunt Sandra placed the ice cream and the cake that Mrs Bailey gave to us, in the refrigerator.

Next, she ordered pizza so we could eat for supper.

After supper, I shower then went to bed.

The nexted day when I woke up it was

raining heavily .

"It's been rainy for the past two hours ",said aunt sandra.

suddenly the rain stopped ,then aunt sandra lefted.

Moments after it continued raining .

Eleanor, Jason and I was at home alone all day, for the first time we've been here.

Before aunt Sandra keaved for work, she lofted Jason in charge as he is the oldest one and more responsible, but only if aunt Sandra knew that Jason was not as responsible as she thought he was.

Jason broke every rule that aunt Sandra that lain.

Jason used the cups and the dishes then he lefted them in the sink.

Aunty Sandra said that no one should leave the house and we should not let anyone inside.

even so, Jason still invited his friend Thomas over to play games. 

Thomas was a fifteen year old boy who lived with is parents in the next room beside us.

when Eleanor and I warned Jason about the consequences he would bear if he kept breaking the rules his mother laid.

Jason didn't care to listen to us . the more we kept talking to him it was the more he ignored us .

feeling hopeless about the situation, Eleanor and I decided to keep our mouths close off.

"I only hope that aunt Sandra will find out herself", I said to Eleanor.

" me too", said Eleanor

Eleanor and I went to our room and we talked.

I miss my community in the countryside.

Getting up every day, feeding the cows, the chickens, the goats and the pigs. I also missed sweeping the yard, and watering the fields.

I miss my friends.especially Cassandra.

I missed the times cassandra and I would go fishing and swimming in the river.

I could also remember laughing and talking to my friends.

we missed the times when eleanor and I would run in the wheat field and pick plenty oranges from the fruit orchard.

Aside all of that who we missed the most was our mother .

Mommy was always there for us and so were we too.

Eleanor and I would follow mommy to the river and help her wash the clothes.
