The kids had a good day at school.  Gilbert said that he learned about London today.  Danny was singing a song that he learned.  Bonnie's most important news each day is that she did not have to go see the principal.

I finished the financial reports today.  Joe did some work on the church constitution.  He is feeling a little better today.  

I rode with Joe to pick the kids up from school.  Gilbert can see us out of the door of his classroom.  He was all smiles; the teacher jokingly told him that he had to go sit back down and that he couldn't leave.  Bonnie had just woken up from her nap and was crying because she wasn't ready to wake up.  Danny came flying down the stairs and almost knocked me over.

When we got home, Joe took the kids swimming while I worked on supper.  Joe had a meeting at the church tonight.

Gilbert was working on his spelling words tonight.  I was making the shape of each letter to try to help him out.  I came up with some little ditty for the number ten, which Danny was writing.  The boys thought I was crazy, but they enjoyed their homework more that way.

Danny likes to build forts and tents.  They have been building them in their bedroom.  But, I guess they needed a change of scenery this evening.  They built their forts out in the dining room area.  Danny is the master builder.  He got Gilbert and Bonnie fixed up; then, he built his own.

Gilbert wanted to type a message on the computer.  Just as he started typing, Bonnie said that she wanted to type a message.  We have been talking about "preferring one another."  Gilbert said, "You can type, Bonnie."  Then, he had to find me to report how he was unselfish and let Bonnie type.  Danny was waiting to type too.  I announced that it was bed time before Danny had typed his message.  I told him to go ahead and type his message; it was his longest message ever because he knew that he had to go to bed when he was done typing.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
