Bonjour,
The kids had a good day at school. The power went off and on several times this morning all over town; so, they had to stop using the DVDs for the day. Gilbert said that they were right in the middle of learning a new song when the power went off.
Gilbert was singing a song to me about the days of the week. When he got to Wednesday, he was pronouncing it like it is spelled. I was trying to help him with the pronunciation, and Danny said, "It's 'Wintersday,' Mom."
Joe worked on a sermon, and I worked on financial reports. I practiced some songs on my clarinet.
The boys did their homework. Then, they were playing cowboys outside. Bonnie was upset with them because they kept running away from her. Danny has been searching for one of his toy guns the past couple days. We haven't found it. He probably left it outside and someone else took it. Maybe he will start remembering to bring toys back inside.
Church went well this evening with twelve in attendance. I made it through the song service with my clarinet.
Danny did not take a nap at school today and fell asleep toward the end of the service. After church, Gilbert woke Danny up. Danny stood up and got right back in the chair. He was straddling the arms of two chairs with his stomach and went right back to sleep.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
