Springy.....

Last Friday was the last day of school for Buddy before spring break. The entire school went to go work in a taro patch for the day...

and yes, that's Buddy in the red shirt. Then Buddy went on a scout camping trip  that night. I figured if he started out spring break that awesome, I better keep on delivering the awesome! So today I gathered up some of the spare boys I keep around the house and took them to go see a few things....

Errr....let's try that again. I gathered up some boys today to go see a few things...

I took the boys on the Fair Winds II again (since it's Buddy's new favorite) and it did not disappoint!

It was so awesome, Buddy even ended up walking on water....

Errr.....well, it looks like it if you look at it from the right angle, even better, the boys asked to take a selfie with me....

Yep, total win-win! Afterwards we went to the temple and Buddy got baptized for someone really famous. It wasn't the famous person, but they happened to have the same name, which still ranks pretty awesome in the cool factor book if you're 12....or 44. Whatever, it was awesome. So all in all a super fantastic, planning on hiking Polol'u  tomorrow, day!

Work release program.....

Buddy has missed a ton of school lately. For the betterment of his future we decided we should probably start introducing him to some other careers in case his future in proctology doesn't pan out  due to his lack of attendance. First there was his foray into computer programming....

Then introductory mechanics....

Lastly, the stinky business of poop collection....

 Which, in retrospect, may just assist in his proctology career afterall! This job at least pays! That's right, Buddy's first actual paying gag is poop collecting....how classic is that? Anyway, in other news, we hiked out to the lava this past weekend and didn't get back from our hike until 6am. Then we had a 2 hour drive home, which looked a lot like this....

Well, I hope the driver of the car didn't look like this......well, I wouldn't know, I was wearing a matching Buddy expression! In other, other news....

Buddy and I are taking our show on the road. I think it may be a short, isolated road, but on the road we will go! So all in all a super fantastic,  finally back to school...pretty certain the poop helped!

Hair diddy....

Buddy spent his day off for Presidents' Day wisely...

Well, if you consider making a bazillion boomerang videos at his friends' house while he was getting his hair done! 

Yep, time well spent! Somehow I got jipped in the video making, but he did grace me with one single solitary picture....

Then I graced myself with a picture since I got my hair done too and needed to document my coif before walking 2 steps and getting it knotted and gnatted or pulling it up in a ponytail like usual...

Yeah, the boomerang videos are better. Oh well, next time. So all in all a super fantastic, got our hair done, day!

Boom....erang!

Buddy and I were goofing around today. I know, totally out of character for us....

While we were goofing around we found an app to up the awesomeness in our picture taking....

Anted up! So all in all a super fantastic, having a good ole' time, day!

Giants....

 Buddy has been working hard on his muscles...

Spiritual ones included....

Although if he works much harder I'm afraid his pants may rip or his face will break! So all in all a super fantastic, gooberly strong, day!

Discovery isn't just on a channel....

Buddy and I went to a health food store last week. I know, totally weird, right? Normally  we try to stay out of those places, because according to Buddy "they smell funny". I'm going to have to agree with him on that one! Anyway, whilst browsing through all of the overpriced organic merchandise, we discovered this....

 Yep, that's right...boxed water. It cost almost $3, but it's been worth it's weight in gold because Buddy has been refilling that sucker nonstop since we bought it! Turns out it was packaged in Michigan.....which makes me wonder if that's why it's in a box you can't see through? In other news, we've put our squirrel coffee cup to good use...

So all in all a super fantastic, finding new things, day!

GREAT!!!!

A few weeks ago, we hosted 2 of Shane's aunts for a week. A few days ago, they sent Buddy a package in the mail. A package filled with the most glorious things in the world, like googly eyes and handerpants (that would be underwear for your hands). Buddy has been wearing his handerpants non-stop since he got them, I finally pried them off of him so I could wash the aforementioned, now disgustingly dirty, handerpants!

Squid fingers, because regular fingers are totally last year.....

and a miniature cup for coffee to give the squirrels a little sip of java heaven. We don't have squirrels on this island, so Buddy made due with the closest relative to a squirrel we have here...

Yep, pretty squirrely if you ask me! In other news, my boy is awesome...his best friend isn't so bad either....

They had been making Illuminati symbols, but I made them change their hand signs to hearts because Illuminati signs outside of an LDS temple just seemed wrong, but what do I know? Those boys are goobers! Anyway, back to the aunts.....they have definitely earned their spot as great-aunts! I don't think I've laughed that hard at the contents of a package....well, ever....which makes me think I need to start sending packages to others to give them a giggle like we got! It was awesome! So all in all a super fantastic, our great aunts are greater than yours, day!
