The sun peeked from behind the clouds to stream into my twin's room. Mikey woke up to get ready for his usual morning run. He went downstairs and out the kitchen door to stretch. Later on, he runs down the beach. BD is waiting for his usual pet. They enjoyed this alone time together.

 Our houses are now awake and noisy. I woke up to get ready. Jakes brews some coffee for them to drink. He mixes my hot chocolate to leave it on the island in my tumbler. Both of us greeted each other. I took out a glass and the mugs.

George and mom are cooking breakfast at the stoves. I took out the remaining place settings to put them on the stoves. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hang out around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves. 

Breakfast is promptly served at 8:00 am. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks

The team exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us head to the cars and trucks. Our driveways and houses are now left vacant. Everyone else went to their missions. 

George and I are doing surveillance that morning. I start off with the binoculars. As for George is taking notes. Conversation is going on in the car. Soon after that we change places.

Minutes after that we made a quick pit stop at the store. Graceland bound for us that afternoon. He parks in our driveway. Mailbox is checked. I opened our front door for us to go inside. George closes it behind us. 

We put down our stuff on the couch. George went into the kitchen to get snacks and drinks. I found something for us to watch on tv. We are now relaxing together. Our shoes are kicked off.

I took a quick bath to change. The team came home from work. Everyone greeted each other in our family room. Minutes after I am in the room again. George mentioned his goodbyes to us. He drove in the direction of his place. 

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food.

Everyone splits up in their own directions. I play the guitar for a few minutes. Seconds later I checked my emails and cleaned the mailbox. Nat came into the phone room to sit on my couch. Our younger sister wanted to spend time with me. 

They are cooking our dinner at the stove. I took out the place settings to put them on the island. The team sets our kitchen table together. We are hanging out around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their minutes on the stoves.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat down in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I sat on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our girls and sisters cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Mikey washes the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. The guys are getting our cooler ready with drinks and ice. 

Everything is put back in it's regular places. All the kitchen lights are turned off. Later on, we head to the beach. Bonfire time begins right now. We settled down in our spots. Drinks were passed around the circle.

Storytime is in full swing. A long break is taken to get refills for our drinks. Jokes are also told during this time. Our laughs are heard at each end of the beach. As the stars shone over our heads the fire crackled in front of us. 

I walked back up the shore to our house. Upon my arrival turned the lights on for the others and put my bottle in our sink. Within minutes I am in our room to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. I am in our living room. Mikey follows my cue. We changed rooms in our house.

Mikey is sitting next to me on the chaise. We are cuddling with each other. Seconds later he begins reading the book to me. I took it from him to read my chapters. There's one more passing of the book to it's owner. It is rested on the table. 

Soon after that the team came in dragging the cooler with them. My elders added their bottles in our sinks. As for the younger ones threw away their juice boxes in the bins. I unpacked the cooler. Mikey threw away the bottles and dumps the ice. As for the team heads upstairs to get ready for bed.

My family returns to the room. They sat on the couch or in it's surrounding areas. Our tv sets are turned on. John chose something from the box for them to watch. He puts extra volume for us to hear from the living room.

 We stretch our legs after a while of sitting down. Everyone stood up to mention goodnights to each other. Mikey gave me the usual forehead kiss. The team did the same thing just thing just with my cheeks. I grabbed an extra drink.

Mel went to sleep. Both of us moved head over to the couch. Roger is already cuddling with his girlfriend. I am sitting on the ground between our couch and the coffee table. Nat is matching on the opposite end. His long fingers are running through my hair. 

I went into our room to jump into the bed. A short bathroom break enjoyed. Pedro is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Seconds later I am fast asleep.

The team is still watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. They head upstairs to their own rooms. Nat walks into our shared room to join her dolphin. Everyone else joins Mel soon in dreamland that night.
