I have been teaching the Valiant 11 girls in church. They are the girls who are or will be 11 years old this year. Anuhea has been in my class, and it has been both fun and challenging with this age group.
Today I was released from the calling. I was both sad and relieved. I was sad because I have enjoyed teaching again, and it would have been nice to finish the year (since the girls will move to a new class in January). I was relieved because it has been more difficult to prepare the lessons and teach the class with Leiohu in the picture now. Also, the girls were so talkative, and I'm not the best when it comes to discipline.
Oh, well. . .I'll be doing something else, but the Bishopric forgot to call me to the position today.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Even though the children went trunk-or-treating the other day, they still wanted to go trick-or-treating. I didn't mind so we went. Jason stayed home, but kept the lights off because we had no candy to pass out. The weather was a little warmer so it was much better than the other night. We thought it was going to rain, but it didn't. Phew!
Anuhea dressed as a prep student from a prep school.
Nalani dressed as a soccer player.
Hokulani dressed as a cheerleader.
I didn't dress upthis year.

10/29 Trunk-or-Treat
October 29, 2008
Our ward (for church) had a trunk-or-treat activity tonight at the ward building. It was a lot of fun, but it was SO cold. Jason needed to do some school work so he went to his office at school. The children and I went to the activity. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures from the activity because the camera was having a problem that evening.
Nalani helped me decorate the back of our minivan. We used the soft white stuff stores sell to make spiderwebs spread across the space. Then we put a big spider in the middle of it that we made out of a foam ball and pipe cleaners. We also had those little spider rings that we stuck into the web.

- While we (and other members) decorated our trunks, the children could decorate paper bags to use as their treat bags if they didn't already have one.
- Trunk-or-treat began. I passed out candy and the children went around to all the other vehicles to get candy. A lot of people showed up to the activity and decorated their trunks.
- After the trunk-or-treat part of the activity was over, there were other activities to participate in. Some people carved pumpkins and they were judged.
- We could go to another area of the parking lot where there was a stove-like fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Many people gravitated to the fire to keep warm.
- There was also a "hay ride" on a trailer pulled by a truck. It was fun, but the exhaust from the truck wasn't good.
10/13 Roly Poly
October 13, 2008
Leiohu has been rolling from her back to her stomach with ease. Today she rolled from her stomach to her back and I missed it, because I was cleaning the bathroom! Nalani was lucky to witness it. Fortunately, I was able to catch Leiohu rolling later.
Did you ever notice that babies like to play with the TAGS on their toys more than the actualy toys? Leiohu is no exception. (She especially likes to "talk" to her tags.) Luckily, my mom bought her a ball that has tags all over it. Here are pictures of Leiohu playing with the ball for the 1st time.
