Bonjour,

Joe is still feeling pretty miserable from all the work that was done on his tooth yesterday.  He took the kids to school and picked them up from school.  He just took it easy the rest of the day.
Just as I sat down to start sewing this morning, the power went off.  It stayed off until the kids got home from school.  So, I didn't get any sewing done today.
I made some cookies and worked on chicken enchiladas for supper.
The kids had a good day at school.  Bonnie said that she had to stand in the back of the classroom today because she forgot to fold her hands.  Bonnie said that Tafila threw her napkin away at lunch time; she and Tafila don't seem to get along so well; maybe they both want to be in charge.
The kids played outside until supper time.  They are enjoying the sand pile.  The pool chemicals ran out; so, they can't swim until we get more chemicals.
Bonnie fell asleep watching Flipper.  She doesn't always go to sleep at school.
Joe has to take the vehicle to the mechanic tomorrow.  It hasn't been running right since it was worked on the last time.  Joe discovered that some parts are missing.  It could be an interesting time at the mechanic tomorrow!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
