Oh, thank you for being so fast, Kevin. Please, don't correct anything in your post. If you want to change anything make another post.
Now, you haven't use any Perfect tense in the translation. Are you sure they are not necessary? Is it possible that you could use any of the Perfect Tenses in here?
And one question more. Why didn't you say "I was sitting and playing"?
