First day of October and week nine! Today I put up the Halloween decorations! It was a little strange because it was super HOT today. It is not supposed to be hot in October. It is supposed to be time for hot tea, a blanket, and a good book. I would like my fall, please.
Today also involved a trip to Costco (never fun with all three girls) and soccer practice. The soccer team is showing improvement and that includes A. Which is a very good thing.
After practice we came home, A and H were super excited about the Halloween decorations! The girl's room was a disaster zone, but I was too tired to actually make them clean it up. Instead I gave them a laundry basket and a time limit. Told them to fill the basket with all the toys that were left on the floor. Thinking it would make it more like a game, which would keep the fighting down. I was wrong.
I finally got the girls in their beds, although it took forever for them to actually fall asleep. Each of the girls came down stairs at least three times for one reason or another. The last one down the stairs was H. All I did was give her "the look", and she turned around and went back upstairs. I don't know what she told her sisters, but I didn't hear another peep. :)
Brian's day was pretty quiet. If you call getting yelled at and being called names as being pretty quiet. He had two written test in EVOC today that he is pretty sure he passed. They also had some vendors come to talk about their uniforms. Talk about the uniforms and the fact that the senior class is graduating on October 26th has most of the cadets encouraged. Especially with a new class of cadets starting on November 5th, they will no longer be the newbies. That being said, two more cadets dropped today, one for a medical reason. That has to be hard; to have the heart for the job, but the doctor says you cannot continue the program.
Brian is still going strong. He is doing well in all his classes, which is no surprise. He is feeling confident about re-testing for his baton certification. Yeah, that has not happened yet. He needs a little more practice hand-cuffing. I say that because he practiced on me this weekend, and he got my ear- it hurt! Overall, Brian is doing well! He even got a complement on his bed making and his locker last week. Not from a staff officer, of course, but from an instructor. He was giving a tour and randomly pick a room to show. It just happened to be Brian's. :) I told him, since he was so good at making a bed he could put the clean sheets on our bed. Then he made some comment about how lucky I was to have a fitted sheet. :)
Well tomorrow is Tuesday and I have a date with my lovely friend to go to a cooking show. This will be our third time going and I always have so much fun! I am excited! Maybe I will win something this year... :)
Blessings,
