100th day of School

Dear Mama,

Today, it was PJ's birthday! PJ is too lucky because his birthday's on the 100th day of school, which was today also. I had a red velvet cupcake for his birthday. And we had to make a list of hundred things that we wanted. Maya wanted 100 toy mermaids, Courtney and PJ wanted 100 sisters and brothers, Lucas wanted 100 moms, Isobel wanted 100 flowers, William want 100 tile-makers, and I wanted 100 butterflies. Me and William are going to make more stuff at paint-your-own-pottery. My teachers loved loved loved the box we made for them (the one that me and William made). 

Later that day, Dada and I both had very bad days. Dada had to give a lecture and he didn't think he did a very good job. All the students were looking at the time and looking bored. Dada felt pretty dumb. And at ACT, Sydney and I had a fight. It was mostly my fault. Mason and Logan were the captains, and Sydney was a cat. And so, Sydney wanted to be on their team right away. And I wanted to show her one more thing, so I grabbed onto her arm. She made a promise I could show her one more thing, and then she could go. But then when I let her go, snap, she was off with the other group. And that got me mad. And so, when I brought a cat in and Sydney brought a horse and a bunny in, she gave me the bunny and I snatched it from her, because I got so mad at her. And then she said she'd tell my dad. And I was so mad I said, "You don't have to tell him, I'll tell him myself!"

After that, me and Dada went to Spoonbread to cheer ourselves up. And then when we got home, we played Monopoly. I was winning and then Dada got some more money. I had 14 properties and Dada only had five properties! We're going to keep playing it tomorrow. We're both feeling a little bit better now, even though I'm still mad at Sydney.

Only 20 days until you're coming home--yippee!!!! I love you a billion... a trillion meters longer than the universe.

Love you,

Julia

PS - Last night Dada bumped his hip and now there's a big bruise. I hope he gets better.

PSS - When I look up on the bars on the top of my bed, I see one of your eyes, your hair, and your face. It reminds me of you!

PSSS - I also painted my toenails to remind me of you, and I hope you still have your toenail polish on.
