dear lauren: swing

dear lauren,

we went over to the neighbor's play ground and just talked.

i don't think we've done that together in a

long

time.

it was nice.

we swung on the swing and talked some more

about what we're naming our kids

and funny things that happened this week.

i thought it was cute that we were swinging on the swing

because that's what our mural is going to be of.

us on a swing.

i really like you, lauren.

i'm glad we're sisters.

love, nicole

 



dear lauren: paintbrush

dear lauren,

mom told us to sleep in today.

we didn't.

i was lying awake in bed at about eight

and i was staring at the wall

thinking how much prettier it would be if it was painted.

i thought, i'm going to paint a mural on that wall.

not just any mural.

it will be of you and me.

i told you my idea, and you said you wanted to help.

i said sure.

you said while i'm getting ready to paint the wall

you wanted to paint a picture of a paintbrush.

that's really cool.

maybe today mom will let us start.

love, nicole
