Bonjour,

Joe left the house at 7:30 this morning to head to Bonoua to make visits
with Dan. They had some good visits. Joe ate lunch with the Posts.
Then, he worked on burning a DVD of their trip last week. They had some
difficulties in getting a DVD made. They finally just saved it to the
computer and left it at that for now.

Joe stopped at one of the bulk stores on the way home. He got home
about 17:00. The boys were so happy to see Daddy.

Gilbert and Danny were out frog hunting this morning. Just before
lunch, Gilbert had caught a big toad. He wanted to bring him inside,
but I told him that he needed to let him go outside. One of the dogs
bit the toad and was foaming at the mouth because the toads are
poisonous if ingested.

Gilbert also brought in a little dead spider. He wanted to put it in a
cup. The little bowl that I got out for him had a live daddy longleg
spider in it. He wanted the live spider out before we put his dead
spider in there. I didn't realize he had already put the dead spider in
the bowl. So, I dumped him out while trying to get rid of the other
one. Gilbert was sad that I lost his dead spider.

The children and I all took a nap. Danny was the first one to get up.
He woke up hungry. He ate cookies and chips and was looking for
something else.

I made a roast for supper. We ate after Joe got back.

Bonnie likes to suck on things. Gilbert kept leaning over to give her
kisses, and she kept licking him. He thought it was funny.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
