The Bare (Bear) Necessities

Dearest you,

I made lunch with Blake a couple days ago. We had an apple fight, but not to worry,no one was bruised. Tonight I tried to throw popcorn for him to catch and, let's just say, my throwing skills could use a little improvement.
Yesterday, while waiting at our music school, I called Evan his spelling words...IN A BRITISH ACCENT. On the way home, my brothers were bragging about how much chest hair they have. I'd say neither has any to speak of.
And then at dinner they were teasing each other mercilessly and one said "Stop causing havoc!" while the other exclaimed, "What? I don't even know what that means!" During the meal I was giving them a lecture about digging yourself into a hole (which I almost spelled whole:), and I--mistakingly--mentioned some dragon flying around. Suddenly Evan was asking "Can I be a ninja?" And Blake said, "Yeah, but the dragon's fire burns your numchucks."
Yesterday morning I did an updo for work. Did I mention it was at 5:30 in the morning? Yeaaaahhh, I used like fifty gagillion bobby pins. My friend and I wore matching dresses too-- Yes, we're probably too old for that, and yes, it was still fun :D
Last night I juggled on the wii. And snow skiied. And hula hooped. And walked on a tight rope. And beat everyone in kung fu rhythm.
Oh, and I had a dream about pirate ships, dragons, and a very cute young captain. :P

My dad's out of town for the next week. I'm really going to miss our awesome talks, and joking around, and helping him with projects :)

I talked to my dad via skype. I laughed, watching him converse with his Chinese translator, Zeke. He was asking him how to say certain words in Chinese. He made a deal with me that he would learn three new words while he's half a world away :)
Now I'm watching The Jungle Book with my three little siblings, who are starting to get too old and intelligent to be amused by old school Disney movies. I've observed that the alpha male wolf has a British accent and the snake sounds drunk, though he shares his voice with the ever-loved Pooh Bear. And the head elephant mumbles about war medals. And his baby elephant son is Southern.And the vultures with the emo haircuts are European (Scottish, maybe?). I always wondered why the little indian girl at the end had a woman's voice when she was like six.
And my little sister, seated beside me, just pulled out a tooth. I remember those days... :)

Praise God for animated humor :D
Con amore,
Sophie
