Bonjour,

This morning, Joe went up to the church for a work day.  Two other guys came.  They got a lot accomplished.
The kids played and then did their homework before Bible Club.  We had thirty-four for Bible Club today.  It went pretty well; some of the kids did not want to be quiet.  One boy was determined to get a second piece of candy.  I told him that if he learned the verse, he would get two pieces next week.
We had lunch and then took naps.  During lunch, Bonnie was talking about being the boss.  Joe said, "I'm the boss."  Bonnie said, "Well, I'm in charge …(pause while her wheels were turning)… of something!" We all went swimming after naps.  
After I finished the dishes, I played a game with the kids.  Joe got too hot today and was very tired.
I have a bug bite on my arm that is all swollen.  Those bugs really like me!  Hopefully the swelling will go down and it won't turn into cellulitis this time!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
