A Hole in the Bucket

Erin and I have been having some fun with each other here in Canada. First off, Erin showed me her secret hideout that she goes to. It was awesome! It was an old tent that Erin had adopted. She secretly borrowed Chrissa's fabric dye and Tye dyed it herself. It was splendid! She said she hides in here when she wants to be outside in the rain without getting wet. She keeps all her worldly possessions in her room, but she keeps some cool stuff out here. She keeps her rain gear so she can sneak out here in the pouring rain and play outside. She's been showing me the areas around her fortress [which, by the way, is named The Yurt] and she chased off some annoying 3 year old when he came to bother her. It was quite hilarious, actually.

"Erin, what are you doing outside? Its too wet!"
"Go away, Amos! I'll be outside when I want to. I'm 12 now."
"Fine. Then I'll tell Kirsten that you tipped my tricycle over while I was riding it!"
"You do that. But then I'll tell you're mommy that you ruined my Beatles album!"
Amos ran into Erin's house laughing and giggling. Erin shot off like a rocket and grabbed him by the arms and tugged him by his feet across the street. He screamed and hollered. She shoved him into his yard and pushed him down. She raced back across the street and grabbed my hand and dragged me into our house. We yanked off out muddy shoes and Erin leapt into the dining room just in time for lunch. Kirsten handed us both cheeseburgers and we took our places at the table.
"Oh, my. We've only got four days left together. We've got to make it the best we can. " Kirsten sighed.
Sonali and Beth looked at each other helplessly, and Beth nibbled nervously.
"Cheer up, girls! We can have fun!" Samantha smiled. She always looks at the bright side, which is what I love about her.
"Yeah." Julia mumbled.
"How about we buy gummi worms and-" Grace's Kit was cut off by a bunch of NO!'s from Grace's family.
Bailey looked at the 2 Lissies and then flicked her nose. They all three stood up.
"SURPRISE!!!!" They cried.
We all looked at each other. THIS couldn't be good.
Grace's Felicity held up a pamphlet and read aloud.
"Congratulations! You have been selected from a drawing to win a trip to the Night Club downtown!" Felicity said excitedly.
"How many times did you enter?!" Kristy asked excitedly.
"Twenty. Maybe thirty." Bailey said, couting on her fingers.
"And we WON!" Grace's Kit shouted.
Our Felicity nodded.
"When is this?" Kirsten asked.
"TONIGHT!!" Grace's Lissie bellowed.
"YAAAAY!" We all cried.
Everyone was excited. The Night Club was amazingly fun. Erin and Lissie and Kit have snuck away to there whilst they were supposed to be sleeping.
Bethie sat there with a blank expression on her face.
"Whassamatter, Beth?" Ruthie asked. "Cat got your toungue?"
Elizabeth shook her head.

She later informed me that since the cast party, she stayed clear from any store with the word "Club" in it.

"It'll be fun, Beth." Sonali assured her as she picked out a skirt for partying.

Erin and I were digging through our stuff to find things to wear. I found a comfy skirt and my converse, so those would be awesome. Erin was just gonna be Erin. Headband across her forehead, peasant blouse, jeans, flip flops.

Everyone is bustling and hustling to get ready to go. We're all so thrilled, squealing with delight. The Kits are writing about this with their typewriters. The Chrissas are painting. Well, that's pretty normal. Liz and Kristy are going insane finding the perfect outfits to wear.

This'll be fun!
