Yeah, we are pretty weird. *nods* Sorry if you feel out of the loop, but we're just sitting here talking and waiting for you to come back! ;) I wish you luck with all that school stuff. Don't fry your brain and all that good stuff. :P *sighs happily* The dance last night was really awesome. I didn't have any refreshments though because during the breaks they were playing waltz music! And I can never resist a waltz, even if it is with an invisible partner. :P Pictures shall be forthcoming. ^_^

Posted by Favorite Sister Alexandra

so i was sitting here in the kitchen when i heard screaming and splashing and hissing and roaring and terrifying music from the living room. it sounded *very* much like a movie they should not be watching. so just as i got up and was about to check, all the noises abruptly stopped. "she dosn't get eaten you know." "what?" "the screaming eel dosn't get her! i was just telling you because you looked a little nervous." i smiled and got back to business. i was sitting up in my room, perfectly satisfied with a tummy full of sherbet when suddenly it occured to me: if my saliva was supposed to help digest and soften foods for eating, why hadn't i digested my toung yet?!? i was quite troubled but when i asked madeline all she said was the answer to all the questions in the world :"because God said so" sheesh. if i wanted a sunday-school answer i would have asked a sunday-school question! so i came down here, got online and caught andrew on im: "how come your saliva dosn't break down your tounge like it does for meat and stuff? madeline was no help. she said, "because God made it that way" "it doesn't really break it down that much, it just makes it mushy. I mean, have you tried just sitting there with a chunk of meat in your mouth and waiting for it to digest?" "well, my tounge IS mushy " "it doesn't work well without chewing." "yeah, i guess. hmmm. okay. thanks. i really needed to know that" "I bet." "it was practically tearing me to peices with intrigue." "it's a pretty vital piece of information." "yep. 'k. bye!" "bye" so now i know. and thanks a lot madeline! not! >:P

Posted by Favorite Sister Alexandra

we were sitting at our table happily eating 'bambi' when we heard this tenitive little teeny knock on our door. about six of us got up and peeked at the door, all from different positions, but nobody bothered to actually ANSWER the door! so mama called us all back to the table with a reproaching voice. we sat back down meanwhile forgeting to answer the door yet again. so finally daddy got up to answer the door. i couldn't see anything, but this is about what i heard: daddy: "well hello there young man! what can i do for you?" 9 or 10 year old boy:"uh, can i shovel your sidewalk for you?" daddy:"i have plenty of my *own* children to do that." boy:"oh. uh, okay." daddy:*shuts door* he sounded very stern. he said he was being polite, but he didn't sound encouraging. i suddenly remembered i had this funky picture of elizabeth to show madeline, so i dashed upstairs to grab it. on my way back down i glanced out the window. i saw the boy at our neighbor's house talking to him. i hope he got the job. our sidewalk still isn't shoveld yet. i hope the boy dosn't come back to see. in other news i drew andrew. he is so easy to draw! and coming from a terrible artist like me, that's pretty good. in even more news, madeline and i got our pictures today. mine wern't from the ball. they were just random pictures. but madeline's were from the dance. david looks really drunk in one picture, and so does andrew. hmm...i was telling the people the punch was spiked but i didn't think it really was! in even more news, this comment is so long it's not even funny. do i ramble this much in real life?
