Wow, this car is a mess!

On the 31st of October my dad, sister and I washed my mum's car at my cousin's house because it was hideously dirty. I was so eager to wash my mum's car to wash my mum's car because it was so much fun as it was a very hot day.
First we had to clean the inside of the car with a vacuums  and rubbish bags. I cleaned as I could, it was as if my sister and I were looking for hidden treasures that people lost over time. We also stood on the car and looked at the stunning views of Aoteroa from the top of the car.
Then it was time to get the hose and the sponge to wash the car. Both my sister and I were anxious to wash the car. We rinsed the car with the narrow green hose. My sister and I washed the car happily with the sponges. We made each other wet because we played with the water, we were like creatures that couldn't breath without water (I was soaking wet halfway through washing the car). I was mad at my sister because when she was playing with the hose and she accidentally wet my shoes even though I weren't wearing them.

I didn't want to stop washing the car but sadly I had to because I had to go and look after my nephew who was crying 24/7. I  cheered him up by watching some television with him, we watched ni hao kai lan. It was educational and really funny (for my nephew). It was educational because it taught us some facts about reptiles and lizards (even I learnt new things). Next, I read a children's pop up book called, Where's Spot? It was so entertaining for my nephew because he had never seen a pop up book before.

Finally when I finished reading the story, my sister and my dad had finished washing the car. I could tell that my dad and my sister were exhausted and soaking wet. After that, we went home for a snack and ate some crackers and juice. I t was so delicious and the drink was so refreshing especially for a burning day.
I had so much fun washing the car and looking after my nephew. My favorite part was getting to wash my mum's car because I loved playing with the water.
We are learning to understand and use language features.

I know I can do this when I use appropriate past tense and time words in my writing.
