W’apow mu e,
This morning, the kids cleaned up the shop from their project yesterday. Then, they picked up in their bedrooms. After that, they played with Sammy. Sammy is a boy from church; he is about ten years old. I don’t think he gets much attention at home because he is always at the church or at our house. Our kids are enjoying having someone else who will play with them.
We got some things done around the house today. I worked on laundry and filtering water and was ready for a break after that.
Joe and the kids worked on trimming trees again this afternoon. The kids made lots of trips to the burn pile with branches and limbs. Martin came to help. When I went outside to take some pictures of the workers, Bonnie said, “Mom, the trees are just getting their bangs cut.” It looked more like chopping half of the tree down to me. Joe said that he is pruning the mango trees because they have not been producing fruit. One mango tree down – five to go!
I made pizza for supper. After supper, the boys were wrestling. Gilbert pinned Danny a couple times. By the time I got in there with the camera, Danny had Gilbert pinned. Bonnie decided to get in on the action too.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
