My Home

My mom and Aunt Erika were cooking, and my cousin Kaysie, Nevaeh, and I were jumping on the bed, hitting the roof, and celebrating VERY quietly, trying not to get caught by my nanny. And running around wild, playing Junior Fancy. And trying not to get tagged and bawling our eyes out when I fell coming up the stairs (I always fall coming up the stairs). And watching Masha and the Bear while sitting on my papa's lap. And using all the Mio (aka squirty stuff) in one cup, and we all took turns taking a BIG sip—I mean gigantic! Since it was so sour, we tried to keep a straight face, but it was soooo hard, and it left a huge purple stain all over our faces. So we always got busted by my nanny or by my papa. Anyway, we also did have a lot of fun in the summer. We had these two inflatable pools—one was Baby Shark, and the other was Mermaids. I liked the mermaid one. But we would always lean on the side to make all the water flow out. And in the summer, around August, we would go pick raspberries in the backyard! And eat them that weekend when we watched a movie in bed! And every night, when everyone was in bed asleep, my nanny would come get me so we could watch 9-1-1 on Disney. And I loved it. And sometimes in the summer, we would go to the beach close to her house. But now my papa is dead. And my nanny moved. But every time I mention all this stuff at a family dinner, Kaysie, Nevaeh, and I all exchange glances and smile, 'cuz we are going to do it again. Or at least, we think we are.
