Abby’s Cool Sleepover

I arrived at 2:15 pm, checking to make sure this was the right house I was sleeping over at! I slowly opened the car door feeling weird because I had never been to Abby’s house. By the way it looked like it was a pretty big house.

 I said bye to my brother and sister, I stepped out of the car grabbing my pillow and my sleeping bag my dad carried my other bag full of things for the sleepover! I felt excited now, I mean I was at my best friend’s birthday party/sleepover.

 Mr. M peeked around the corner of the upstairs in the garage, he saw me and my dad standing there wondering where to go. “You can put your stuff up here”. He said. My dad handed me my other bag to bring upstairs, as I walk up the stairs I was wondering what would the upstairs look like? I stepped on to a hard wood floor took a quick look around before Mr. M told me to put me bags wherever I wanted.

 I decided to put them next to what looked like Lily’s bag. I ran back down stairs to say goodbye to my dad, I jumped into his arms and hugged him tight and gave him a kiss. I know it was only one night but I was going to miss him a lot! I love you the most he said! I love you more. then I watched him leave. 

Time for the fun! Abby said coming around the corner of her house with Lily and Emmy skipping behind her to keep up. “Hi Cadence do you want to go bounce on the trampoline”? Asked Emily  hoping that I would say yes. Sure Emmy I would love to go on your trampoline! I replied.

 I was wearing pants and it was 80 degrees out! “ This is going to be the best party EVER! I mumbled to myself so no one else could hear me. When I walked around the corner of her house I saw the biggest trampoline ever,

 I could not believe that I would get to bounce on it! I took my shoes off on the porch and got on the trampoline. It felt like I was bouncing on a cloud I jumped so high! I forgot what it felt like to bounce on a trampoline, I used to have one but it was covered in brown tail moth and my dogs destroyed it.

Later that evening when everyone had arrived we all got in the pool to play a game called dead man, when we got bored of that we went to the trampoline and played dead man in there to. We just kept going back and forth for two whole hours.

After that long two but fun two hours we were slowly one by one going upstairs to change into clean clothes. When all of us were out of the water there were still girls on the trampoline playing. We did presents, Abby opened all of her wonderful presents then we played on the trampoline some more and girls were playing in Abby’s gigantic playroom. They had a lot of toys in the playroom that you could play with. 

After a while we were called for dinner. Dinner was pizza this pizza was very yummy. After dinner we were chilling. 

I was trying to figure out where the heck Lily and Grace went. I looked everywhere. I talked to the girls and everyone was soon looking for those two. It was becoming a serious problem that no one could find them. 

We told Abby’s mom and dad and they said that if they could not find the girls they were going to have to call their parents. After a lot more looking and yelling out there names they finally came out. They thought they heard someone yell let’s play hide and seek so they hid in Emily’s room and never came out. This was a very scary thing that had happened. Abby’s mom gave the two girls a warning to never do that again and if they ever hear someone calling there name they need to come out. We went to bed at 1:00 and the sleepover was so very fun.

Matt Tavareswas coming around to kids at the workshop and telling them about his strategies and helped us come up with something to draw.The workshop was to teach you that when you are sketching it doesn’t matter if you mess up it only matters what it comes out to look like.

 Every one had one piece of paper and a pencil, and when you are done you can color it in with colored pencils. Our drawings were displayed in our hallway for everyone to see.  Before Matt Tavares came grades ⅘ made posters to welcome him.
