Here is your short paragraph on My Weekend !
Weekend is something I really look forward too. From the other busy five days of school, I really get rest and relax on weekends.
On Friday mornings I am so happy because I would have to get up early only for this one day and then sleep to my wish on weekends. Moreover, as a family we all could spent some time on weekends.
Last weekend was great for me. Saturday morning, after breakfast, my Mom announced that we would be visiting my aunt’s place for lunch. Hurray!! I was happy. So I did my homework’s very fast and completed them.
My mother was busy preparing some food items and I helped her by looking after my little sister and playing with her. By afternoon, we took our baths and got ready to leave to my aunt’s house. Over there, we had a great time. My niece was also there and we kids played a lot. When it was time to serve lunch, my mom and aunt served lunch and we all had a great yummy lunch. After lunch, we fell asleep. By evening, we had our tea and went for a drive in the city. It was so much of fun, that we really enjoyed the day. Getting back home, we were tired and slept of early.
On Sunday morning, we went to the church and attended the masses. After church we came back home and then had our breakfasts. After clearing the dishes, I studied for some time and then relaxed watching my favorite
After lunch, we all rested for some time and in the evening after tea and snack, my parents, me and my little sister went to a nearby park. We played for some time there and then took rest. Then we had a walk around the park and enjoyed the evening breeze. When it got dark, we came back home. After taking showers, we had our dinner and then after our evening prayers, we kids went to slept.
The weekend passed off with loads of fun and entertainment and I look forward to the next weekend for more fun and entertainment and to relax myself from the daily homework’s and studies.
