10/1 to 10/8:
We watched General Conference today. Took Leila to her basketball game at the Tville Rec ctr during the 2nd session. She scored 2 baskets and they won. She did good but is probably the shortest on her team. I also watched the All Black thrash Argentina when I got back. I watched priesthood in my room with Tyrell and Jaxon. There were good talks. Sunday we watched more GC. Monday I flexed because I'm working Friday. The kids came to my work Tuesday for a field trip the the Capitol building centennial celebrations. They walked in there but the loud echoing noise because of all the school kids was scaring Erana so they went out. I went and met them and walked around he Capitol with them and ate lunch in the cafe. I took them up to my office so they can see where I work. They went back into the Capitol as most of the school kids had left. Leila and Tyrell had a piano recital at night. They did really well. Candi started working at home this week, Wed, Fri and Sat. She has a desk under Mina's loft bed in the upstairs room. Saturday I took Leila to her bball game.
10/9 to 10/15:
I had Columbus Day off Monday. I spent the time painting our walls outside and fixing the deck light. I replaced a gfc plug in the fixture but found out how to reset it correctly so the new one was unnecessary. I was trying to reset it with no power but it reset once the power was on. Oh well. Not much else going this week. Leila had practice and another game. She is doing ok but not really improving because she needs to go out and play at the playground on her own.
10/16 to 10/22:
Played tennis with Mina and kids on Friday. I was rusty as. Mina beat me 4 games to 2. She is too good for me right now but a little practice and I'll catch up. Leila did some good hits and was beating Jaxon a lot. It was her first time trying her new racket her friend Jenna got her for her birthday. She and Jenna went to the Witch breakfast at Gardner's Village Thursday morning for Leila's b-day. Friday evening we watched Julia act as Jasmine in her Aladdin play in Draper. She was really good and sings very well. We got photos with her after.
10/23 to 10/29:
Our baseboards were finished Monday. They are nice! Finally done. Tyrell started the mission class they wanted him to take. He is with 5 other people that have mental disabilities like autism and such and he feels a little awkward. It's such a waste of time but I said to stick with it as it's only 4 classes. Friday we played tennis again and this time I beat Mina in a set of 6 games. I was trying my best and she was kinda lackadaisical. Saturday Leila had a b-ball game. Then after Candi and I went to the mattress sale at Taylorsville HS for Mina's choir fundraiser. We ordered 2 twin mattresses for Laila and Erana. Mina will get to keep about $150 of that for her choir trip. We ate at Sizzlers for Leila's birthday. She got a new bicycle. It's a nice one. It's a coaster beach type bike with a rack at the back and a basket in the front. Leila loves it. I ordered off Walmart and had to put it together.
10/30 to 10/31:
Candi's sister Lian and her granddaughter Sklar arrived Sunday evening. Their flight was delayed a few hours because of rain in San Francisco. She brought heaps of chocolate and some shirts. Sklar was a bit homesick the first night but got used it and plays with Erana and Leila. For Halloween we went to Jody's. We ate and then took the kids trick or treating. Well they went without me the first time but I went with them the second time. Skylar didn't go to any houses with spider decorations. She doesn't like them. Jaxon was Red Hood again. Leila was Batgirl, Erana was a leopard and Skylar was Harley Quinn. Mina was...I forgot. It was a nice evening, just a little cool when the sun went down.
