I still haven't had time to catch up on my blog; that's still coming. And the case of the mystery foot will be solved (I know you've all been biting your nails on that one!). But today John brought home a letter from his new pen pal and showed me the rough draft of the letter he's writing in reply. I these were too cute, so I'm sharing them here (pen pal's name has been changed).
Dear John,
Hi! I'm Hal. I'm a collector of army men. There are three boxes in my room. I have so many army men, it takes one hour to pick up. I'm also a collector of mini army men.
Your pen pal,
Hal
Dear Hal,
I am 9 years old. I like soccer as my favorite sport. What is your favorite sport? I have 2 little brothers. In my spare time I pick on them. Do you have any brothers or sisters? What do you do in your spare time? I have a friend named Brad. Who are your friends? I love to read books. Do you like to read books?
From your friend,
John

That's too cute. I totally remember having a pen pal when I was in school. I don't remember her name or where she lived, but I do remember having a pen pal.
In a small way, blogging is kind of like having a pen pal, don't cha think?
I loved having pen pals in school! Sometimes I think it'd be fun to have adult pen pals. :)
Cute!
I think my kids would say that in my spare time I pick on them. They seem to think that I just come up with things to make their life hard!
I love pen pals. . . is it out of state?
No, it's not out of state. That would be cool, wouldn't it?
After Anna's comment, I found an organization that arranges international pen pals, for children and adults. Cool! Not that I need anything else to do. I'm having a hard enough time keeping up as it is. But here's the website if anyone wants to check them out:
