It was really fun going to my cousin's house!

On the weekends my nana asked me if I wanted to go with her to my cousins house so we can look after my cousins while my aunties go to poly-fest  with my other cousins.

We didn’t have a car so we had to walk but it was okay because their house was really close to ours.

When we got there my cousin Patrick attacked me and I fell down, but I was okay. Then my other cousin Launoa and I watched a movie called Stomp the yard because we were bored. Stomp the yard was a movie about dancers competing, one of the teams were posing as wolves and the other posing as snakes.

While watching the movies we also drew some crowns and she drew the best crowns.

Later on the day, Launoa and I, made ourselves some Milo and cereal. Before long my mum came to pick me up, but I did not want to go home so my mum Launoa, Sione, Patrick and I went to McDonald’s. We each got a chicken mccheese, and I was the first  one to eat mine.

After a little while, my uncle came, dropped off my other cousin Soane. After that my aunties and cousins came back and we all had to go home.

Lastly my aunt dropped us off to my nana’s house so I could have a shower and sleep there for the night because we had church the next day.

My favourite part of the day was when we watched Stomp the yard because the movie was cool.

On Saturday my mum, nana, cousins Chloe and Sia and I went to a perfume sale at my mums work.

When we arrived, only three of us were allowed to go outside to wait in the line, so Sia and I sat in the van. I felt so tired so I went to the back of the car and slept there. Soon they woke me up to go and stand in the line. When I was in the line I was playing on my mums phone and I played a game called piano tiles, when you play piano tiles, you're not a allowed to touch the white tiles, you can press the black tiles and if you miss one of the black tiles you lose the game.

I bought the Nicki Minaj perfume and it smells nice. My cousin bought the Britney Spears perfume. After that, we went home and we were hungry so we bought some chips, bacon and eggs, and drinks (Sprite and passion fruit stars drink).

After I had some food, I switched on the television and started watching The Lodge. I fell asleep while I was watching it. By the time I woke up it was three o’clock in the morning.

After I woke cousin let me go on her tablet and I played piano tiles again.

After a little while my mum came to pick me up.

My favourite part was when I played piano tiles on my cousin's tablet, because it was really fun and I got to beat her high score.
