Bonjour,

This morning, the boys played outside while Joe filled up our coolers with filtered water. After he was done with the hose, the boys played with the water. They had a great time. When it was time to bring them in, I went out to help get Danny. As I was taking his wet clothes off, Gilbert attacked me with the hose. First, he just got my skirt a little. While Joe was trying to get the hose back, my head got sprayed too. We were all wet!

The boys took an early nap today. After they woke up, we had the Litson girls come over to play for awhile before it was time to get ready for church.

Church went well tonight. We have a little plastic fan that we take to church. Danny likes to play with it. Gilbert saw a bug on the ground. So, he snatched the fan and used it like a fly swatter. He killed the bug and said, “I got him, Mommy!” We were sitting toward the back. Hopefully he wasn’t too much of a distraction! : )

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
