Once upon a time there was a family. There was a mom named Felicity and a dad named Mark. Twins with the names of Sam and Sarah, they are 8. They have a baby brother named Jack who is 1 year old. They also have a dog named Ralph. He keeps them company as they are home school.
Our story starts when the twins get home from their friend's house. Mom greets them at the Door and says, "did you have a good time at your friends?" Sam and Sarah reply "yes we did, what did you do mommy?" Mom replies, "I was mostly doing laundry and the dishes." What did you do while you were at your friend's house?" Sarah replied, "I was playing dolls with my friend while brother was playing dinosaurs outside with his friend." "Mom, did you know they have a baby? It's a girl and she is so cute. Her name is Charity." Mom responded "Yes, I did know. Now let's get lunch."
Sarah was taking off her shoes and coat when mom asked Sam to let Ralph the dog in the house. The front door wasn't shut so when Sam let Ralph in he escaped out the front door. As Sam ran past, Sarah put back on her shoes and coat to run after Sam who was running after the dog. Before they realized it they had passed the stop sign and were on their way to Willow Park. The dog was really fast, and he ran to the middle of Willow Park.
Sam and Sarah had only been to Willow Park once, so they stopped and looked around at all the beautiful trees. It was a beautiful park, but they need to focus on getting Ralph back to the house. Willow Park was a very big park. Sarah said to Sam how about you go left, and I'll go right? Sam went left and started to run when he spotted Ralph, he ran toward him then heard him barking. He wondered if there was another dog nearby, he kept on running. He did spot another dog and the old man Scrooge, an old man that passed their house every day on his way to Willow Park. "I see him" Sam called to Sarah "I found Ralph" Sarah ran left to help catch him she got to Sam and Ralph and saw Scrooge just as Sam did Ralph was distracted playing with Scrooges dog and so Sam and Sarah were able to get to him and grab him. They were going to go home but couldn't figure out which way home was. They asked Scrooge if he would help them get home safely. Scrooge said yes, but asked "Why they were here and without a leash for their dog?" Sarah said Ralph escaped and ran to Willow Park and they ran after him. Scrooge said "hum" and then headed in the right direction. As they were walking home, they saw a truck that looked like their dads. It was their dad and he picked them up and thanked Scrooge for taking them home.
Meanwhile, mom was wondering where her twins had gone when the phone rang. It was Mary, she asked if she was coming to the homeschool parents committee meeting. Mom had forgotten all about it. Mom replied yes, but asked, can I bring my kids? Mary said no this is a parent only meeting. After getting off the phone she saw her husband's truck pull in the drive away with both twins. She quickly made lunch. They came in and all ate together.
While they were eating, she told everyone about her meeting and wondered who could watch the kids. Dad said he had to return to work for a meeting of his own. Sarah offered to stay home, and she and Sam could watch Jack. Mom said we've never done that before. What do you think Mark? Dad said it sounded like a good idea. It was settled. Mom went to get ready, and dad went back to work to prepare for his meeting at the fire station. Sam and Sarah were excited. They were planning all the fun they would have with Jack. Jack was in his highchair finishing his mashed yam's. Mom came down, gave them some instructions, and then left to her meeting. She said she would be back by 4:30. They had a little more than an hour.
First, they helped Jack finish his food and cleaned him up. Then Sarah wanted to play a game with him like peek-a-boo or hide-go-seek. Sam wanted to watch a movie. They decided to play games together. Jack thought that was great and laughed a lot until he didn't and started to cry. Sarah checked his diaper it was poopy, so Sarah changed his diaper for the 1st time. He was happier after that and then they started playing games again like tag and acting like different animals. They called that easy tag because Jack was always it. Before Sam and Sarah realized it, it had been an hour, and mom was pulling in the garage.
They could hardly believe it babysitting was so much fun. When mom came in the house they asked, "When dad would be home?" She said, "Not until later tonight." Mom started making dinner and Sam and Sarah kept playing with Jack. It was so much fun they wanted to do it again. Mom was so happy everything had worked out.
The End
