October 26, 2018: Jumanji

I started the day off with a meeting. Then it was off to house cleaning. Overall I was pretty busy at work today.

This evening we all went out to dinner at the Dallas Diner.

Liesl played A Hat in Time tonight. It is one of her favourite games every now.

Tonight Dominica and I watched the new sequel to Jumanji with The Rock that she has not seen yet. She loved it. At one point I had to pause the movie because she was laughing so hard that she couldn’t breath.

October 24, 2018: Cannonball Run

Had a light rain in Dallas this morning. Ken came over to do some work and I ended up outside talking to him for a while.

It got colder and rainier as the day progressed. Liesl and Luciana each picked a different room and hid under the covers for the entire morning and into the afternoon.

For dinner, I made homemade pizza for the girls. Using premade crusts I make our own and the girls really like it.

This evening Liesl and I continued our Burt Reynolds marathon by first completing The Cannonball Run and then after that was over we went on to watch The Cannonball Run II. Liesl liked them both. She really likes road race movies like this.

October 23, 2018: Smokey and the Bandit

I started off the day making a pot of coffee and doing some house cleaning.

This evening I finally talked Liesl into trying out a different kind of movie. I have been wanting her to try some classic adventure movies for a long time. I talked her into trying Smokey and the Bandit. She ended up really liking it. It was a lot of fun. She really liked Burt Reynolds and the car race or chase genre.

After the first movie, we moved on and tried The Cannonball Run. She really liked that one too, although we were only able to watch about half of it before it was time to go to bed.

October 22, 2018: Guatemalan Bakery

Monday.  I got up and worked for a bit this morning.  A nice, slow morning at work.  It was great.  And the weather is really nice today, kind of cool but mostly sunny and pleasant.

Luciana got up and immediately said that we needed to go to the Guatemalan bakery down on Belt Line because she has been wanting to go there for a while and everyone was up early enough to be able to go today.  So that is what the girls and I did.

We drove down and each of the girls picked out a few items.  I got a little bit for myself, too, although Luciana ended up eating it for me.

From the bakery, we went over to Pupusa Dona Lola and got pupusas con frijoles y queso for Liesl and me.  And we stopped by Taqueria Gio next door and ordered a quesadilla for Luciana and some tacos pescado for me to try.  It was a serious Central American themed day.

We came home and ate out delicious Central American lunch and watched Growing Pains.  It was a very nice lunch excursion, we had a lot of fun.

At one I had a meeting so had to leave lunch with the girls a little early to sit on that call for an hour.  Not an important call, just a long one that is all “touchy feely” and there is really no purpose to me being there at all.

I got the lawn completely mowed today, it takes days to do it as I have to mow and then let the battery for the weed whacker charge for a while before continuing.  So while I could get up in the morning and start early and theoretically do three rounds in a day, it is far more practical to get one done per day.

Ken did more work on the roof tonight.  That is slow progress.  Hopefully it gets somewhere sometime soon.

I made pasta for the girls for dinner tonight.
