Bonjour,
Happy Labor Day! We hope everyone had a good day off! It was business as usual here today.
The kids were off to school at 6:45. They all had to check on the cat on their way out the door. They have decided to call her Princess.
I think I am just about over the typhoid. I felt a lot better today. I got some cleaning and some laundry done.
This afternoon, Joe ran some errands and then picked the kids up from school. They were excited to see the cat. They played until supper.
Kristine made fried chicken for supper. Brother Davis ate supper with us.
After supper, the kids had to do their homework. Gilbert and Danny had homework tonight. Bonnie was coloring doing her "math." Each one of them wanted me to be right there to help them. I was going from one boy to the other; all the while Bonnie was saying, "Teacher, Teacher!" Danny said, "Mom, I need you to help me because I am your baby boy." They mainly just want moral support. They want me to comment on every letter or number that they write.
At bath time, the kids accidentally washed their hair with some body wash stuff that was quite strong smelling. Gilbert's head was itching; so, I had to rewash his hair with the normal shampoo.
Bonnie and Danny must not have taken much of a nap at school today. They were both crying at the drop of a hat. Everyone should sleep well tonight.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
