I have 4 little sisters and I am trying to find out what 2 of them can do with me and our parents. 2 of them got in trouble and will be staying home with dad... The 2 are 12 & 15. I am 17 and I will be included in the decision but I said I'd help out with the decision by looking online since my parents are too stressed out... any suggestions?

Information you may need to know is what we are like:
-2/3 like Rock music the other likes hip-hop and rap only
-We are all in a foster home... We do not act or look alike AT ALL! 2/5 (11 and 14 year olds) of the whole house are biological and 2 others (me and the 12 year old) are just alike. The last one doesn't like any of us but does try to get along with us for the most part.
-I am the educational type while the others are ALL fun and (WAY TOO) hyper...

I cannot think of anything else... Thanks

There's lots of things you could do with your siblings on a parent/siblings day out. I'm not quite clear on which preferences your siblings like who are going out with you and your parents, so my suggestions are meant to accommodate the details of what you said everyone likes.

One idea:
- Go to the local Barnes and Noble so you can browse for books and your siblings can look for music they like and want to buy.
- Have lunch somewhere that serves food everyone likes (Chinese restaurant? Red Lobster? McDonalds?)
- Or, you could stay home and all contribute to a meal you could make together: you could cut up vegetables if your parents are OK with that, and the younger ones could help wash them and add seasonings and spices. Everyone could help wash dishes.
- Go watch a movie that just came out in a movie theatre. If you can't decide on a movie, narrow it down to two choices and toss a coin to break the tie.
- Go for a walk or hike on a trail if there is one in the area; that way the hyper ones can run around while you take your time, and everyone can get out and enjoy themselves. If there's snow where you are, everyone could try snowshoeing. It's not expensive and it's something everyone can enjoy.

The point is to spend time together enjoying yourselves. Ask your siblings what they want to do, too -- they might have some surprisingly good ideas.

Is there a chuck e cheese near you? You can end up there for lunch. How about going to the park and flying a kite? There can be lots of things to do depending on the area you live that can be free or cost little.

Go bowling, or movies, something you can do together but won't be forced to talk to each other...
