-1The weeks passed quickly and before they new it, it was the girls last day at school and they would be leaving the following day. Girls. Kevin said trying to get Kylie and Avery out of bed. Time to get up. Do I have to? Kylie asked. Yes you do. Kevin said. But I promise tomorrow you don't have to go. Kevin said. Yeah. Kylie said I don't have to go to school but I have to sit in a car for who knows how many hours listening to Gracie say are we there yet and then start singing some weird song she learned at school. Kylie. Kevin said. Just get your butt out of bed. Fine. She sighed. Ok. Kevin then went over to Avery. Avery time to get up. Kevin said. Ok. She said and got up. Alright. Kevin said and walked toward Gracie's room. Gracie. Gracie honey it's time to get up. Ok daddy. She said and got out of bed and Kevin got out her cloths and then went back to his room to get ready. Gracie finished getting ready and went downstairs to the kitchen where Lucy was making breakfast. Hi mommy. Gracie said as she sat down at the table. Good morning honey. Lucy replied back. Mommy are we leaving today? Gracie questioned. I don't know honey. If we don't leave tonight then we will leave first thing tomorrow morning. Lucy said. Okay mommy. Gracie said. Mommy. Gracie said again. Yes sweetie. Lucy said. We should get a dog. Gracie said. A dog. Lucy said. You want to get a dog now. Yeah. Gracie said. My friend Emily has a dog and she said he sleeps in her bed. Gracie said. He does. Lucy said. Yes he does. Gracie said. Can we please get a dog? Gracie asked. I don't know honey we'll see. Lucy said as Kevin was walking into the kitchen. What are we going to see about? Kevin asked. Daddy. Gracie said running over to him. Can we get a dog? Gracie asked. Gracie. Kevin said. Yes daddy. How about we talk about getting a dog after we move. Okay? Kevin asked. Okay daddy. But if we do get a dog can we name her Molly? Gracie asked. Gracie. Kevin said. Later. Alright. Okay daddy. She replied and Lucy placed her breakfast in front of her. Where are the girls? Lucy asked. Upstairs getting ready I think. Kevin said as he walked over to the stairs. Kylie, Avery hurry up or you'll be late. Kevin yelled up the stairs. Stop yelling dad or we'll all be deaf. Kylie said as she came downstairs with Avery behind her. They walked over to the table to eat their breakfast. Daddy said we could get a dog. Gracie said to her older sisters. No. I didn't. Gracie I said we would talk about this after we moved. Kevin said. Don't get your hopes up Grace. Avery said. Dad told me we would talk about getting a dog after you were born and as you can see that never happened. Avery told her little sister. Yeah daddy's not very good at keeping his promises. Gracie said. Hey dad. Kylie said. What ever happened to my cat that I was getting for my tenth birthday. Well. Kylie. Kevin said. We got you a cat for your birthday. Remember? Kevin asked. Oh right the stuffed one that made the weird noises. Kylie said. You mean snowflake? Gracie asked. Yeah. Kylie said. What happened to him? You gave him to me remember? Gracie said. Oh yeah. Okay girls we could sit here and talk about animals all day or we could get on the bus. Lucy said. Okay. Bye mom. Bye dad. The girls said as they got up to leave. Bye girls and remember come straight home today okay we still have a lot of packing to do. Okay. Bye.

The day passed quickly for everyone and before Kylie, Avery and Gracie knew it they were saying goodbye to all of their friends and taking the last step out of their school knowing they were never coming back. When they got home Avery, Gracie, and Kylie went up to their rooms to finish packing. Avery was moving her bed over to get anything that was under it out. Hey, Kylie look at this. Avery said. What. Kylie asked walking over. Remember this she said pointing to a huge whole in the wall and they both started laughing. Yeah. Kylie said. I was using a softball to throw into the basketball hoop on the wall and I missed. Yeah. Avery said. And mom wasn't home and dad came up to see what happened and you were standing up against the hole and started hugging me so dad wouldn't ask what we were doing. Avery said laughing. We changed the whole room around and I purposely put your bed against the whole so if mom or dad ever found it, it would look like you did it. Kylie said. Oh thanks Ky. Avery said. Your welcome. Kylie said sarcastically. We better finish packing so we don't have to stay up all night doing it. Avery said. Yeah we should. Kylie agreed. Lucy and Kevin got home about fifteen minutes after the girls did and they finished packing the rest of the house since their room was already done. At about 9 o'clock, the entire house was packed and the movers were there. Girls. Lucy called up the stairs. Could you come down here. They all came running down. What. They all asked. Do you girls want to leave tonight or tomorrow morning. Early tomorrow morning. Kevin asked. Tonight they all said not wanting to be there any longer because all they could think about was everything that had happened in that house and that was making it harder to leave. Okay go start bringing some of your boxes down. Okay. They said. In about two hours, all the boxes were in the truck and everyone was ready for the long drive to California.
