W'apow mu e,
Joe took the kids to school. Then, he left the vehicle with the mechanic to get the oil changed. He came home in a taxi. He took the Aarons’ vehicle into town. There was a problem with the battery port; he got that fixed. Then, he did some generator shopping. The generator that we have is about worn out; we have had it for several years. He wanted to sell it while he can still get something out of it and get something that will be dependable since we have been relying on the generator a lot lately.
I had a laundry marathon today. Since the power was off all day on Friday and we weren’t home much this weekend, the laundry was piling up. I got four loads done today. That is a good laundry day here. It takes about two hours for each load to wash.
We got some Fun-da-middle cupcake mixes in a package last week. So, I made one of those today. This one was chocolate cake with vanilla filling. Yummy!
Joe had to walk quite a ways before he found a taxi to take him to the mechanic to get our vehicle. When he got there, the car wasn’t ready. He waited for them to finish and was a few minutes late to pick the kids up from school. Bonnie was in tears because Daddy wasn’t there, and her teacher would not let her sit next to Danny. She was still upset when they got home from school.

The kids played outside while I got supper ready. They put the outside toys away, but they forgot to lock the door. Joe noticed later that the key was missing. He sent the boys outside to lock the door and get the key. They were scared to go out there in the dark. They had a flashlight, but they were still scared. I think they will remember the key next time.
The kids did the dishes tonight. Then, they were all busy coloring. They did not have homework tonight. Bonnie brought her book to me because she said that it was my turn to color.
We read some of one of Danny's new books tonight. He carries those books around the house with him. This morning when he first got up, he could not find them and went into panic mode. He said, "I had them right by my pillow when I went to sleep last night." I told him that they probably fell in the floor. He went to his room, turned the light on, and found the books; in doing so, he woke Gilbert up.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
