Last Mothers’ Day I filled my mum’s bucket by giving her a foot massage and rubbing some cream on her feet. It made her feel relaxed and happy and it made me feel helpful when I saw her smile.

Yesterday, I filled my sister’s bucket because I gave her a gumball and after I gave her a gumball she said, “Do you want to go on my computer?” And I said, “yes” and that filled my bucket. She was really happy and then she said, “You can stay on the computer as long as you want,” and so I stayed on the computer all day. I knew how Sapphire felt because she smiled at me and I knew that I had filled her bucket. I felt happy too.

In the weekend, on Sunday, I filled my mums bucket up doing the lawns so she could look after Eva. I saw her doing the lawns so I said, “Can I do the lawns, Mum?” “Yes,” said Mum with a smile on her face.

On Sunday I filled my dad’s bucket by helping him stain some wood for a new veranda. We worked together to stain the wood. We had to stain the wood with a big paint brush. I stained the wood, it was fun. We had to do big strokes instead of little strokes because it will not paint much and if we did scribbles it will look like a baby was scribbling with the stain.

After school on Monday, last week, I filled my mum and dad’s buckets when I washed their sparkly red and yellow car. When my mum and dad had a date, Mum went to the car and said, “Oh, goody good, now my job is complete. You have really filled my bucket!”
