Bonjour,
Joe still wasn’t feeling well this morning. He didn’t keep anything down all morning. He is starting to feel better this evening.
We did school this morning. Danny has been using the laptop, and Gilbert has been using the TV and DVD player. We switched them around today because Danny could not refrain from touching things on the computer. Danny was just devistated. But, we made it through.
At meal times, we have been working on manners. Bonnie does things that she knows are “bad manners” just to see if we will notice. I had told them that it was bad manners to put their elbows on the table. Today at lunch, Bonnie said, “Mom, I have my muscles on the table.”
After school, the kids headed up the trail to play with the Luther kids. Bonnie got about half way up the trail with the boys and decided that they weren’t helping her enough and that she couldn’t go any farther. Danny came back down the trail to get help. I went to the rescue. That trail is quite a climb, but we made it to the top. I visited with Julie and April for a little bit before I headed home. I took the road on the way home.
After naps, the kids went back out to play. I worked on supper.
The phase that runs the bedroom lights and fans has been off all day. Gilbert was worried about how they were going to sleep without a fan. We put the oscilating fan in their room. He thought for sure that they needed to sleep on the living room floor so that they would be next to the air conditioner.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
