Bonjour,
We were sad this morning when we read of Catherine Hudson's death; she died last night. We have been praying for the family all day.
We had a big storm this morning. Gilbert came into our room at 4:30 because the wind was blowing too hard. Just as I was getting back to sleep, my alarm went off.
There are a couple teachers and some students who ride with Joe and the kids to school every day. As one of the boys was getting in the car, his chicken and rice spilled everywhere. After we got him and his bag cleaned up, they were on their way.
I worked on altering one of Bonnie's school uniforms today. They make the seams extra big; so, I am letting out the side seams and the hem so that it will make it through the end of the school year. The boys' pants and vests are getting a little high-watered too; maybe they will make it through to the end of July. We might have to have their uniforms for next school year made a little early. : )
The kids had a good day at school. I swam with them when they got home.
We have a stomach bug going around. I had it yesterday, and Joe has it this evening.
Bonnie and Danny both fell asleep at 8:00 tonight. It is unusual for everyone to be in bed before 9:00. The kids usually go to bed at 8:30, but they get to stay up later on Friday night. Gilbert wasn't far behind the others. I am going to head that way too! : )
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
