My Birthday Party

    Isaiah and Trevor are some of the best friends of mine. They came to my birthday party after school. The first thing we did wasn’t the greatest idea in the world. We played soccer inside the house. We played it with a light pink rubber ball. I know it wasn’t the greatest idea, but the only bad thing that happened was that we broke a lampshade. Mom got mad at us and we had to go outside.
    We played some catch, got bored and went inside.
    We went upstairs and played a game called Gaga. It’s a game where your hand can touch the ball, but your feet can’t, because if the ball hits your feet, you lose. Guess what? I won!
    After that, we watched a movie and got ready to go to bed. We all fell asleep halfway through the movie!
    They left the next morning. I’m glad they came. My birthday was a lot of fun.
