W'apow mu e,
Bonnie was up early this morning. Joe usually wakes the kids up by saying, “School day, school day; good old golden rule day; Reading, writing, ‘rithmetic…” Bonnie went in to wake Joe up. She said, “School day, school day; Reading, writing, ticks me off.”
Gilbert was carrying on an animated conversation during breakfast until I asked how he was feeling. His voice changed and he said, “Not so good.” He decided that he would rather go to school than stay in bed all day. He did fine. It must have been a 24-hour bug. Joe has still been under the weather today, but maybe he will feel better tomorrow.
I worked on folding laundry this morning. I got one load of laundry washed before the power went off. It was off for several hours. Apparently the whole system was down because they were working on something. I reorganized the boys’ dresser drawers. They have been putting their own laundry piles away, and they are not too particular about how they do it. Then, I made some cookies.

The kids had a good day at school. Bonnie was the only one who had homework tonight. They don’t always take a nap in K-4; so, Bonnie was a bit grouchy.
The boys brought their box of cars out to the living room to have races. Bonnie was making a line with the cars. Danny was in trouble for messing up her line.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
