Bonjour,
We had another busy day. Bonnie's room was our sorting task for the day. We also put some princess decals on the wall; Gilbert and Bonnie were telling me where to put the next thing. I put them up high so that Bonnie cannot rearrange them, maybe. We still need to put the wall paper border up in there, and I didn't quite get everything situated yet.
Joe went to get the vehicle. Today, the taxi that he was in had a flat tire on the way into town. Our vehicle was fixed, but a detailed cleaning of the car was included in what Joe had paid. The two men who were cleaning were deaf and could not be hurried along. Joe said that they did a good job; they even cleaned the engine with a toothbrush. Joe just waited; he got back home at lunch time.
After naps, the kids went swimming while I worked on laundry. We also got some new clothes out for the boys today that I had stored until they were ready for that size. They wanted to wear it all right away. I got some things in the washing machine so that they could wear the new pajamas tonight. We had gotten the next size out for Bonnie a couple weeks ago, but she wanted new pajamas too. I got a nightgown out of her size 6 bag; it was a little long, but she was tickled pink.
We went to the little Lebanese restaurant for supper. It was nice to get out of the house for a little while.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
