'Twas The Night Before Easter......

I will gladly tell you of the days events, they were all great! Except maybe the last one, this event is so special that I did a spin off of a classic story just for you to read! So sit back, relax and enjoy a story of an event that Hannah, Eika, Henry, Jude, Eva, Anna and I were a part of!

"'Twas The Night Before Easter." 'Twas the night before Easter, and all through the schoolhouse. Creatures were stirring, but no, not a mouse. The books were stacked high on the desks with care, in hope that some students would soon be there. Some sleeping bags and blankets were folded neatly on beds. While visions of our day danced in our heads. And Hannah with Jude and I with my light. Had walked all the kids down to bid them goodnight. When on the front porch there arose such a clatter my flashlight sprang up so I could see what was the matter. Up to the steps I flew in a dash, I stood there astonished and let out a gasp! The light on the edge of the steps began to shine, while we all stood there gaping Eika let out a cry. When what to my wondering eyes a picture did spring, a million tiny bugs each one with wings. The open door was surrounded left and right, from the wondering termites who decided to visit that night. More rapid than eagles they all flew around, then we noticed that they were scattered all on the ground. "Oh Hannah, Oh Henry, Oh Eika, Oh Jude! Oh Eva, Oh Anna! Oh what will we do? From the front of the porch to the kitchen wall, now smash them! Smash them! Smash them all!" As falling leaves from the tree they began to fly, and tried to escape to the evening sky. To the top of the books and the fly swatters they flew, while we smashed we began brooming them too. Then from the corner I heard a small scream, for Jude was pointing to one on his chair with his light's beam. As i drew in a breath while turning around, I saw many more close by and began to frown. They were all dressed with grossness from head down to foot, and their bodies were small and the color of soot; four sets of wings were attached to their back. And each of their lives ended as my swatter fell with a WHACK! Their eyes were so big, their bodies so small, we smashed them. Yes, we smashed them all. As I walked away from our triumphant bug fight, I whispered " Happy Easter to all, and to all a bug free night!"

So as you can see from the story it was an eventful night at the Willis house! It was gross but we all made it through! Thankfully the light was only left on in the kitchen so the termites stayed in there and did not wander into the bedrooms. The rest of the day was pretty great! There was a morning full of Easter egg hunts and egg dying. Then most of us, some stayed behind unfortunately, packed up for a car ride to go see a waterfall! It was an amazing sight! I got a great picture of the sun shining on the waterfall and a rainbow showing through! I tried to upload it, but the signal here wouldn't allow it. We hiked a small distance and were able to see three waterfalls! It definitely was a sight to behold! On our way back we got stuck in the mud, but fortunately there were two truckloads of people that got out to help push! So overall it was a very eventful day! Hope you all have a great Easter! I'll post again tomorrow!
