Bonjour,

Joe went up to the church with Matt this morning to paint.  About twenty boys showed up to help.  They worked all day and got the whole room painted.

I made cupcakes for Gilbert’s birthday.  He thought he should be able to eat them as soon as the batter went in the pans.  I did let him try one today even though his birthday is tomorrow.

Sarah invited the boys and me for lunch.  We had tacos.  The kids played for awhile; then, we went home for naps.

Joe got home just before it was time for our walk.  He kept Danny, and Gilbert went with me.

The boys had fun playing this evening.  Gilbert is excited about his birthday tomorrow.  He has been telling everyone today, “My birthday is coming.” 

A demain,
