The Life I Once Had

Planning

"So, we'll need to make a list of materials" I announce as everyone opens their fort notebooks and gets their pencils ready. My notebook is a deep dark purple with light fluffy purple swirls. Katie's is dark pink with light pink hearts and is all fluffy. Justin and Nick both have the same black notebooks covered in yellow and orange flames. Melody's is yellow with smiley faces and Hadie's is just plain navy blue. "Nick, Katie, you're on food. Remember we are staying for three nights, that's eight to nine meals plus snacks. And we are bringing Whiskey and Bisquet this time." I command looking up and writing something down in my notebook. "Got it" they answer going to sit on my purple and red bean bag chairs. "Justin, Mel, you get repair duty so get rope, a hammer, etc." "OK" Justin answers as he and Mel go and sit under my windowsill where multiple purple and red flowers grow. "Come on Hadies, we've got camping supplies" and we go and sit on my bed.

My room is painted dark purple and has dark hardwood floors. I have a dark purple bed set with blacky-purple flowers. My bed is a four post bed with sheer red curtains. My window curtains match my bed sheet and they pull off to the side. My flower bed has purple and red flowers of various shapes and sizes. My book shelf is filled with books and on my dresser is filled with my collection of snow globes. On my floor there is a purple and red fuzzy floral rug. I open my notebook to a blank page and write our title "Camping Supplies" and we strat brain storming. Half way through our list ended up looking like this:

Camping Supplies 7/9/15

-bug spray

-tarp

-2 boxes of matches

-pots and pans

-oil lamps

We finish making our lists, share them with the group and finish giving our suggestions. "Remember when you bring your individual bags make sure you pack something warm in case the weather changes" I finish, addressing everyone. We walk downstairs to the main floor and Hadies and I wave goodbye to everyone. By then it was five o'clock and we set the table for dinner. The dining room walls are painted brown and an eggshell white. There is a china cabinet filled with all kinds of china and we have a stained pine table with decorated legs and matching chairs. We put our cream colored placemats out and our purple and white plates before going back to the kitchen. While Hadies puts silverware out, I fill five glasses with water. Hadies call Uncle Liam in and we sat down at the table. Hadies and I sitting next to each other and Uncle Liam sitting across from Hadies. Normally Brad and Bradley would sit next to Uncle Liam and Mom and Dad would sit at each end of the table. "Dinner's ready" Dad says bringing in some platters, followed by Mom with more platters. Mom and Dad set the platters down and sat at each end of the table. Tonight for dinner, we are having steak, grilled potatoes and sweetened carrots. As we served ourselves the scrumptious smelling meal and ate, Hadies and I explained our game plan for repairing the fort. I ate the last bite of my steak slowly savoring the taste before putting my plate in the dishwasher. I grabbed a delicious piece of homemade cranberry pie and sat down again. Everyone else soon followed me and before long we were all cleaning up. When Hadies and I finished cleaning up from dinner and completing the last of our chores, we went upstairs to pack our bags. I handed Hadies a list and we got to work. I entered my room, opened my closet and from the back corner I pulled out a dark purple duffle bag. I laid it on my bed and opened it up before looking at my list. I walked around my room for the next hour murmuring to myself. "Sleeping bag.....t-shirts.......sweaters......" Then I emerged from my room at almost the exact same time as Hadies did. We put our bags on the soft black couch. We decided we would get the other things tomorrow. We collapse on the couch and turn the television on. We watch for about an hour then decide to hit the hay.

Hadies went upstairs and started brushing his teeth while I grabbed a glass of water and said goodnight to our parents in the office. I get upstairs just as Hadies is finishing. "Night" Hadies says walking towards his room. "Night" I replied entering the bathroom and closing the door. I brush my teeth, wash my face, and put my long hair into a braid before retiring to my room for the night.
