Bonjour,
Bonnie was up in the night with a fever and a bad cough. She stayed home from school today. When the boys heard that she was going to stay home, they both started crying. But, they were fine by the time they got to school.
Gilbert had a bad headache and threw up at school. He said that he felt better after he puked. He made it through the day. He had a little bit of a fever tonight. We will see how everyone feels in the morning.
We have a lady who comes to help with the cleaning two mornings a week. Today was the first time that Bonnie has been here when Janette has been here. Janette speaks Fante more than English and usually doesn't say much to me. Bonnie took off talking to her in Ghanaian English. Janette understood her just fine, and they talked up a storm. I got Bonnie on video talking to her. Bonnie went full speed for a few minutes; then, she would rest a while.
When the boys got home from school, Gilbert wanted to know what Bonnie had done all day. He was trying to make sure that she didn't have any fun since she stayed home sick.
I made pizza for supper. Danny helped me put the toppings on.
After supper, the boys did their homework. Gilbert has a spelling test tomorrow. We spent a little extra time on his words.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
