Bonjour,

Joe went up to the church to meet to go to Bible Clubs.  A couple teenagers came today to help with the Bible Clubs; that is the first time that it hasn't been just Joe and Dan.  They had a good morning.
The kids swam for a little while.  Then, we did cleaning and homework.  The kids went down the hill for Bible Club.  
After naps, I swam with the kids.  Joe was working in the office.  
Danny came running in to tell me that he had seen "the most awesomest squirrel ever."  He said that it was black and brown.  I'm not sure why it was deemed an "awesome squirrel."  
The boys had some clean up work to do outside.  When they played outside after it had rained yesterday, they brought mud up underneath the gazebo.  Gilbert said that they were trying to make clay pots but that they couldn't figure it out; so, they made a runway for their cars and airplanes instead.  Daddy was not too happy about the dried red mud all over in the gazebo.
The kids helped me make pizza for supper.  It was quite the production!  : )
Joe's tooth was hurting this morning.  After he took his medicine, it didn't give him any more trouble today.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
