Bonjour!

We had a good day today.  All of the children have nasty colds!  YUCK!  Bonnie was the worst.  She was just too cranky to do anything and she did not feel good.  The boys finally said for her to lay down on the couch and they tucked her in and made sure she was comfortable.  Laura stayed home with Bonnie.
We got home and ate lunch.  Everyone went down for a nap, but I don't take naps.  I was watching a show on tv and the front door started to ease open.  We had a six year old attempted burglar!  I followed him home and then told him not to come back.  I got home, and then I caught him trying to break in again!  I followed him home and this time I talked to his parents. He was in big trouble!
We had a good evening at church.  Brother Evans preached a good sermon this evening!
Now all three kids have a bad cold and Laura has come down with it too!  ARRR!  I hate when everyone is sick!  Pray for them!  I have been pumping them full of vitamins and making sure they wash their hands and keep a hanky to cover their mouth, but it does not seem to be working!  
Have a great week!
A demain!
