"Well, what do you think Maranda? Is this good enough to send?"
"Almost. We need a prop or something. Lets move an end table in front of the window that will be open. We'll lean on the table like this." I bent down over the table and layed my left arm on the table in front of me, fisted my right hand and rested my head on my fist. "Do this quick, then we'll set the camera." She got into the same pose. "How 'bout your go right arm down, rest on left fist."
"Like this?"
"Yeah. Like that. Lets set the camera now." She went over and set the timer. She ran back and slid into her pose. The camera clicked and the picture was taken. We ran over to look at the new picture.
"I like this one much better, don't your Maranda?"
"Deffinitely. We'll send this one?"
"Yeah. Lets write up our fact sheets." I went to my room and grabbed a pad of light pruple paper and ran back upstairs to the kitchen. Cassie went to find her pad of blue paper. We sat down with our pens.
"Should we follow the same format?" Cassie asked.
"Sure. Here. We can make a list of what we should put in it." I tore out a piece of paper.
"Well, first, it should be our full names, then nicknames, right?"
"Right." She agreed.
"Then our age, height, hair color, and eye color, kay?"
"Sure."
"Then we should do our favorites- color, food, animals." Cassie nodded.
"Then maybe family. Brothers, sisters, pets and hobbies."
"Yeah. I can go with that. Lets start." When we were done, we read our sheets to eachother. Mine was like this:

"That doesn't sound corny, not at all."
"Lets put them in the mail box for tomorrow's mail then. Do you have any stamps and envelopes?"
"Yeah. Hold on." I ran down to my room and got the stuff we needed. We addressed the envelopes and put them in the mailbox.
