W’apow mu e,
Joe and the kids spent most of the day outside trimming trees and dragging branches to the burning pile.
Bonnie helped me make cookies this morning to take a break from her outside work. She was trying to tell me that I read the recipe wrong. I said, “Oh, that line says that Bonnie is full of beans.” She knew that it didn’t say that either. Joe came in about then and told Bonnie that she was a stinker. She said, “No, you’re the stinker; I’m just a people.”
After naps, the kids were right back outside again. Bonnie fell out of the swing and scraped her forehead. Gilbert was getting out of a tree and slipped and scraped his arm. Danny’s neck is all scraped up. They all look like they got in a fight with the trees. They had fun though. They were all ready for bed this evening after working hard all day.
I worked on supper while they worked outside. I still don’t have much energy. I am hoping that the medicine kicks in soon.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
