Bonjour,
This morning, Joe took the kids to school. Then, he met with a couple men from the church. When he got home, he did some office work.
I did some cleaning and some laundry. I sorted toys in the kids' bedroom once again.
I rode with Joe to pick the kids up from school. I wanted to check with the boys' teachers to see how they are doing. Gilbert's teacher said that he is a little weak in reading and math; we dug out some flashcards and books tonight to do a little extra work in those areas. Danny's teacher said that he is doing fine. Bonnie's teacher said that Bonnie did a very good job writing "C" today. They are teaching the three-year-olds the manuscript letters. Bonnie said, "Mom, I had to do some work at school today. That way I can get smart. Then, I can read dad's cowboy books!"
When we got home, we had chocolate shakes. Then, Joe took the kids swimming while I worked on supper.
During supper, the boys were discussing the fact that Danny's teacher did not wear her glasses today. I asked if her glasses broke. Gilbert said, "Maybe she got tacs." (He meant contacts.) Danny said, "Nope, her eyes just got better."
After supper, I did some flashcards with Gilbert. Then, they did their homework while I did the dishes. Danny did both of his pages without anyone standing next to him making sure that he was doing what he was supposed to do. I said, "Danny, you did that all by yourself!" He said, "I tricked you, Mom."
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
