Kansas friends

Today our friends from Kansas left. :( We had bunches of fun! They have a 10yo, a 7yo, and a 3yo. I really enjoyed playing with the two oldest. They stayed for three nights, four days. They came Monday. I hope they are having a safe journey back. The 10yo told me she hates sitting in the car for over one day, and it takes two days to get back to Kansas. We haven't seen eachother in over 4 years, so we hadn't seen the 3yo until now! She is cute. She told my sister: Everyone loves you, even God! Not the bad guys though. They are big, like my daddy!!
We caught toads in mom's vegetable garden. We caught four, and we had toad races. I think my 9yo brother caught two more. The 10yo taught me how to make friendship bracelets. Whoever wants me to make them one, I will! It's so easy, if you ask me to, I'll show you how. I'm not even that good at it yet, but that's ok. It's still fun to make 'em.
You'll never guess what I did! When the friends from Kansas pulled out of our driveway, I ran with them all the way to the mailbox. It was so hard saying good bye, but I am ok now, don't worry! I wasn't crying, though. I was just sad. Next time we see them, our family hopes to make a trip down there! I told my 10yo friend that I like sitting in the car for a long time if I have plenty of books to read! I love books, and so does she. She also has a Border Collie named Heart, and she showed me pics of her. We were going to get one of her pups, but we decided that he wasn't the dog for us.
The past three nights we've been staying up until like until midnight or 1:00. I am not tired, though I love it when I crawl in bed and hit my head on the pillow. It will take a while for me to get used to getting to bed earlier. I really don't want to stay up late tonight because shortage of sleep can cause strep throat, and I don't want that to happen; I might have to have my tonsils taken out..............no, I don't want that!
See you later, sorry for the super long post.
