Deciding what kind of fireworks we should buy. Looking at the prices and logos. Picking very carefully. My mum didn’t know which ones to choose.

“I don’t know which ones I should get!” she screamed. She stood there looking at them. So out of nowhere she snatched randomly. We went to the counter and brought the fireworks. Mum and I went to the car and drove home.

We arrived home and my sister recognised, the sound of the car door slam. We hopped out of the car and we saw Autymn, standing there staring at my mum’s bag.

“Can I look at the fireworks mum?” cried Autymn.

“Just wait, you can look at them once we go instead. So Autymn rushed inside and took mum’s bag with her. Out of nowhere the whole family came into the lounge to see them as well. Woow went on and on for a long time. It mostly came from Autymn.

I started to get annoyed and marched off to my room. I closed my door and turned the television on. I watched it for a long time. It started to get boring and boring. I didn’t know what to do, so I decided to go into the lounge. I turned the television off and went into the lounge. Suddenly, I saw the fireworks in a pile lying on the floor. The colours looked amazing when I looked at it for a while.

“Only 24 hours to go until we light the fireworks, mum” I replied.

“I know” she said back.

It was night time and it was time for the family to rest for another day.

“I can’t wait until tomorrow” I thought to myself as I jumped into my bed. The next morning came and it was pitch black. Water dripping on the window. The room was cold. Suddenly I saw rain pouring.

“That means, no fireworks, tonight.” Autymn cried in a low voice. I didn’t know what she said so I told her to turn the television on. I hopped out of my bed and went outside. There were black clouds, heavy rain turning into hail stones.

“That’s impossible” I told my mum. There was no response. Until 3 seconds later,

“we have to wait until tomorrow” she replied. Hours went past and it was 6.45pm and the rain started to fade away. My mum got all the fireworks ready. She laid in a row. Then it was 7.15 pm and the rain had vanished. My mum called the family outside to see the amazing colours. They all rushed outside. She lite the first one. Colours went everywhere.

We couldn’t believe it. It glowed in the sky. Many colours were exploding as well. Our eyes grew bigger and bigger at the minute. My brothers and sisters couldn't believe it. Even my cat came to check the fireworks. Then more and more blew in the sky. It was the most colourful night I had ever seen. Only 9 more to go until the show was over.
