W'apow mu e,
Joe went visiting this morning. He said that they had some good visits. Then, he went into town to check on the boys' uniforms; they still weren't finished. The tailor said that they would be ready by 6:00 this evening. Joe will pick them up on Monday. School starts on Tuesday. Joe also got the kids' school supplies.
Sammy came to play this morning. After he left, the kids went swimming.
Our power went off this afternoon. It came back on for about an hour while we were working on supper preparations. During supper, it went back off for "load shedding." Bonnie said, "We're having a candle breakfast."

I gave Joe a hair cut this evening. Bonnie came in the kitchen and saw what I was doing. She went to tell the boys that Dad was "taking a hair cut." The boys said that I was making him "balded."
We are trying to get back on schedule with an earlier bed time for the kids since school will be starting soon. When Bonnie went to bed tonight, she must have started getting nervous about school. She has been very excited about it for the past couple weeks. But, tonight she was crying and said, "What if I can't do anything?" She will be in K-4.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
