Favorite candyyyyy?: I think Skittles. No, ackshually, probably Swedish Fish, but Skittles are the brandname candy that I like. Why am I asking about your favorite candy? Think Oct. 31...
IT'S OCTOBER! HOMECOMING, HALLOWEEN...
PLANS FOR HOMECOMING? [Are you jumping up and down with excitement, or like zzzz-ing your way through everyone else's jumping?]: I am jumping up and down in my room, and have not yet carried this out at school. A lot of people have been spazzing out about it and the guys have been carrying out elaborate and kinda-sorta-failing plans to ask out girls. I heard something about an iPhone...or iPod...headphones...somethign like that, to ask someone to homecoming. Like, expensive, muchly? and ewww DINOSAURS
Why'd we get dinosaurs -.-
COSTUMES FOR HALLOWEEN?: I WANT TO BE A FAIRY OR AN ANGEL AND WEAR MY HALO AND HAVE FAIRY WINGS AND PIXIE DUST AND A MAGIC WAND AND GO AROUND TURNING THINGS INTO PUMPKINS AND BUNNIES
Or I could be a ninja.
TELL ALL.
NOW.
I did. so there.
And our feature presentation:
HOW ARE THE KIDS?
Most of the younger brothers are jumping up and down, demolishing the house with their HUGE AND JARRING FOOTSTEPS. HALLOWEEN IS ALMOST HERE, they say. HALLOWEEN IS FOR JUMPING BECAUSE WE ARE EXCITED, they say. BE QUIET, I say. IF THE HOUSE FALLS DOWN, YOU PAY THE BILLS, I say.

The VERY youngest brother is eating cookies from the cookie jarrrr.....

They're super-good, and Ikean. e.g. from Ikea. I know, right? Is awesome, right there.

Cookies are amazing, don'tchu think?

Also, he's hopping up and down [and demolishing the house too] because oh em gee an ORCHESTRA RETREAT NEXT SATURDAY

that's not the exciting part

IT HAS ICE CREAM

!

It says, RIGHT THERE, ON THE SHEET

"ICE CREAM, SKITS, AND LAUGHS!"

It's almost like they wrote that especially for him. He feels very excited.

Now he's writing on the walls with crayon.

Anita hopes that's washable?

*twitch*

The second oldest sister is chewing her lip, frowning intently at her paper as she writes something for her English homework. Looking at the incredibly easy prompt, the girl sloppily scribbles down a few sentences, rolls her eyes, and thinks, "Why do we need to practice SHOWING not TELLING when I already know this stuff?" She sighs loudly, pushes away her paper, throws her pencil down on the table [with much more force than necessary], and hopes that everyone reading this can tell that Anita is mocking the show-not-tell strategy.

The oldest sister has a strange urge to giggle and conspire with someone, about...well...EVERYTHING. She misses being able to sing random songs and dance random dances in the middle of Club Bellevue. She also needs to go babble about homecoming to a girl who won't look at her weirdly if she does =D She is ackshually very excited, but agrees with Anita--dinosaurs has gotta be the silliest theme ever. But homecoming! It's such a big deal, she thinks. And then she remembers that there's a Tolo, which is almost like a candy. And then there's all the other dances, and then next year, and then next, and next. And she feels even giddier and needs to bother her girls about it even more. Not that she has many nearby girls to bother. She feels very weird for knowing more guys than girls at Newport, but she assumes that it will even out. Eventually. Maybe.

So as a summary, the kids are either sitting and completely sedentary, or jumping up and down and tearing down the building.
I think that's supposed to balance out in some way,
but I'm not seeing it.

Over and outt. =]
