Bonjour,

Joe and Dan went to the port this morning while we did school.  They were able to get the stuff out of the port and were back home by 11:30.  The kids were so excited.  Danny and Gilbert were so cute trying to help carry the boxes.  The kids wanted to know when we were going to open the toys.  We told them we would start opening things after naps.  I did open a couple boxes of kitchen supplies.  
After naps, we began sorting things.  Daddy's rule was that we would go through one box at a time.  When we got everything put away in that box, then we could start on another one.  We did a box of books first.  The second box was a box of toys.  We got it emptied, but we didn't have anywhere to put them.  So, we had to sort toys in the toy boxes to put some of them away for now.  That took all evening.
We had pepperoni pizza for supper with pepperoni that was in one of the boxes.  Then, we went back to sorting toys.  A small pile still remains; we will finish that off in the morning.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
