Bonjour,

Joe took the kids to school this morning.  Then, he did some work on the computer.  We thought that our internet provider had totally shut down, but they must have just been having technical difficulties because it was back up and running around 10:00 this morning.  I did some cleaning and got caught up on laundry.  
Joe was able to get the pool chemicals on Tuesday.  So, the kids got to go swimming today for the first time in a couple weeks.  They were excited about that.
Danny got in trouble at school today.  I asked him what he did.  He said, "I was just dragging behind, Mom."  He will have to pick up his pace a little.
After supper, the boys did their homework.  Gilbert had a new spelling list tonight and was counting by twos in his Math homework.  Danny just had numbers to write tonight.  It was funny that after they finished their homework, they sat on the floor and played school.  Gilbert was telling Danny what to write.  Gilbert was the principal and was keeping Danny and Bonnie in line.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
