club taco

my parents called another family meeting! it could be that we were moving. i knew that. i thought maybe we were going on a good vacation. but it was this.......

" were buying club taco!" said mom ecstatically.

" oh i thought it was some thing else good." i said. it was the moving thing not the vacation thing. but club taco is cool. i go there every once in a while.

" there is an extra surprise " dad said.

" what is it?" the twins screamed in question.

'holly and teddy if they want to can work there, he replied.

"yes!" we both screamed.

before we could work there we had to clean it up paint it and stuff. so the next Saturday we got to work.my parents said they help us but if we wanted to work there we had to help clean up.

" okay teddy you are cleaning the bathrooms. i will help you with the toilets," ordered dad.

" what do we do?" asked Lucy.

" well you can be my personal assistants," replied teddy.

" do we get paid?" asked lulu.

" no but i will buy ice cream afterwards," teddy said back.

" deal!" they screamed.

while they were making a "deal", i was exploring. once when i was at bubbas' house and we were playing outside. then i saw something shiny, i thought it was a diamond but it turned out to be a rock. i ended up with poison ivy. but it was totally worth it. its my lucky rock now. back to exploring the club i know i'm not supposed but i decided to go into the bathroom. i just had to see what it looked like but as soon as i got in there i got out. it was so weird in there! they had an extra toilet in there! enough about that though. my job was to clean off the tables we bought. they weren't really new we bought them off craigslist. so i was cleaning them when the twins walked in and told me they were fired from their helping job. i asked why and they said because they washed their hands in the boys room. when they told me that i said so what. and they told me in it was not in a sink. it was in the...

extra toilet!

and i said, "no wonder".

then they asked if they could help me. i said i would not be able to pay them with any thing.they said they were just fine with that.

while they were cleaning one of the tables lulu found a piece of gum under the table and started chewing it. which made Lucy and her weak stomach puke. and so then i had to clean all the tables and the puke.that is about my favorite thing to do. no. my favorite hobby is dancing. well then i did not feel too good and had to sit down. and of course of all the times he could come check on me now of all times. dad came in and saw me sitting down and said "get back to work."

oh well looks like my first paycheck is already pretty low.

well pretty soon we left. and got back to our house.

chapter two

fun in the sun

chapter two

" at least we get to have some fun before we go to Salt Lake in October." said teddy

she was laying on a lawn chair in some shorts and an undershirt. it's summer now. during that meeting it was may.lulu and Lucy were trying to make a sandcastle. i don't think it is gonna work though. because there using grass. everything they would get a couple inches high James would sit on it.

they would get mad and push him down. then i'd get mad and yell at them. and teddy would get mad cause she was taking a nap and we woke her up. and our neighbor Mrs. Anderson who is out in her yard would call the police. and we would get in trouble.

that happened over and over. but the police part only happened once. the other times Mrs. Anderson just threatened to call the police.

i got tired of that happening so i decided to go to the park with James. i did not tell anyone. just got up and left. teddy had fallen asleep again and the twins would just do that unison thing to me.

the park was just a couple blocks away. so i got there in a couple minutes. James saw a baby swing open so i pushed him til he started saying " slide, slide". i took him up there then went back down and yelled, "go"!

he went down the slide quick and when he was down he saw his favorite dog. a Yorkshire named Trixie. he loves her. he goes to over to her owners home at least once a day. i do a trick with Trixie. and James laughs his pants off.

he reached out to me to take him to Trixie. so i took him to her. she jumped up to him right away. i gabbed a carrot i had brought for a snack. i gave half of it to James and the other to Trixie. Trixie owner Bubba Chris his nick name. he is eleven like me. he is actually kinda cute. he goes to church with me and last year was in my class. i hope he is my classes next year. at least one.i'll sit by him. he's my best friend. he invited me us over to his house.

i said yes as long as we can have cookies. he said okay. so we headed to his house.

as soon as we got there i said "we better hurry we've been gone a long time".so he grabbed the cookies and milk. and we started eating. then James spilled his milk. so we cleaned it up and then we had to go.so i took a cookie for me, james, teddy , lulu, lucy ,mom and dad. then i grabbed james and we left.

as soon as we got back to our house i knew something was wrong. there was police officers everywhere. my mom was talking to one of the police officers. i wentover to her and said " hi mom".

the police officer said , " is that her?"?

and my mom answered " no. wait yes! yes it is!"

she ran over to me with anger in her eyes. i realized this was a time to play sick.

"mom i dont feel too good", i said with my hands over my stomach. it really was starting to hurt. so it wasn't like i was lying.

"okay just take james to his room and you go to yours." she said through slit teeth.

i did exactly that. i realized if i was gonna get in trouble i better do sokething nice. so i went to james room and changed his diaper. then put his favorite pajamas on him.

in case that was not enough i gave mom and dad an extra half of my cookie. and wrote a quick note that said,

i ♥ u! i hope u ♥ me 2!

love,

holly

then i ran back to my room. i heard mom and dad talking about what happened. so i decided to got to sleep. i would not really though. id pretend that i was. its a trick learned from teddy. one time she was in trouble for being out way past her curfew. she snuck in through her window. and layed in her bed. she pretended to snore even though she does not usually.

they came in and sat on my bed. then i knew it was not gonna work. dad shook me "awake."

"honey wake up we need to talk to you." said mom

" what about"?i asked

"where were you today?"dad asked

"well i went to bubbas' and to the park."

"okay well did you know we were going crazy looking for you?" mom asked.

" no i didn't," i answered.

"can you tell us why you didn't tell anyone where you were going?" dad asked me.

" well i was going to tell teddy but she had fallen asleep. and lucy and lulu would just do that chorus thing to me" i answered.

" okay that is a good answer, " dad said looking confused.

" your still in trouble you know that right?" mom asked.

' yeah but why? i didn't know i was doing anything wrong," i said.

" how about this you cant go to bubbas' tomorrow?" dad asked.

" okay can he come here?"i asked.

" well tomorrow is sunday so i dont know." dad replied

" can i go to sleep now"? i asked

" yeah" dad said back.

then they hugged me and left. it was a pretty weird day.

" TEDDY!" i screamed " family meeting now!" " okay i will be down in a minute", she yelled back. next was the twins lucy and lulu. they are five. for some reason they get the biggest room. i still have not figured that out. and im a genius at math. "lucy, lulu get in the living room. family meeting," i said. "okay okay just go away", they said in unison. they practice that. i know that. i can hear them in their room. hey wait a minute i told you about everyone in my family except me.( and one other person.) i'm eleven and my name is holly noelle parks. that's all you need to know. last i needed to get james. the two year old.he is probaly my favorite sibling.or really just sisters. i hope i get at least one more brother. he was taking a "nap". or laying down in his crib looking at the fan.

first to get his attention i had to turn off the fan. then i just reach in his crib and take him out. and just carry him downstairs.

"okay so what are you guys telling us, that is so important you just had to call a family meeting", teddy said rudely.

"well we're going on vacation," dad replied.

"where to?" i asked anxiously.

" to salt lake city,"said mom.

" for how long?" lulu asked.

" wait why are we going to salt lake we've been there before. that's not really a vacation we've been there before."

" well we'll be going to to general con ference while we're there, mom aswered.

"NOOOOOO!!" we all screamed in unison.
