 |
| Jumping into the leaves |
 |
| Playing ball with Chloe |
 |
| Thomas sleeping on the couch while Matthew, Sophia and Monkey play Ring around the Rosies. Thomas slept all morning and woke up ok, unlike a lot of his friends who came down with a terrible bug. Thomas came home later that week and said that his friend wasn't at school that day, and it was because "Gabrielle has a cockroach-bug in her tummy!" |
