Change of plans....

Remember how last week Buddy had us trek down into Waipi'o to get some driftwood for a science project? Well, he worked on it over last weekend...

 Then, he  said he would finish it during the week......I think every mother in the universe knows how this is going to go down! Turns out a project that he thinks is due Friday, ends up being due Wed....which he figures out on Tuesday night......errr.....it was going to be an awesome voyager canoe.....

Now it's half of an awesome voyager canoe. Oh well, at least he did 100% of the work himself.....even if I will be cringing when I have to see it next week at the school wide project display. In other news, Buddy's school had it's May Day performance, he likes me (or hates me, I haven't decided) so much that he invited me to come see it twice (they had a dress rehearsal this morning). I was greatly impressed with the kids, they did awesome! You know what I did awesome???? Taking an action shot of Buddy doing the Haka....

Errr....once again, huge parenting fail. At least I got to redeem myself with the second performance...

Yeah....maybe not so much, especially since Buddy asked if I videotaped it for him! Whoops, and he was super excited about performing this too....he even invited his BFF to come and be tortured entertained. My parenting skills must be at an all time low this week! So all in all a super fantastic, just not getting it quite right, day!

Awkward.....

We've been trying to hit our awkward quota for the week....

Awkwardness achieved!!! So all in all a super fantastic, go awkward or go home, day!

Newsworthy.....

A few important things happened this week.  Buddy has decided that his nose has better things to do than to just be a resting spot for his glasses and has been test driving contacts this week. I'm not sure what the other things his nose will be doing now that it's free, but it's free and open for business.

 Also this week, Buddy met Hank Smith. Buddy has not laughed so much at church.....EVER(although, it is an LDS church, so loud and extreme laughter is probably frowned upon). He was so enthralled,  that after the fireside he stood in line to shake his hand and take a very, very, very blurry picture. Buddy requested the picture and I still haven't had the heart to tell show him the one and only picture I took....I have officially failed as a mother. On the upside though, one of the ladies in our ward gave us some Hank Smith CD's.....and the giggling has continued! I informed Buddy that this guy gets paid to give talks and make people laugh. Buddy is now seriously considering a career as a professional public speaker!

 So all in all a super fantastic, thank goodness Buddy knows how to speak so he can be a professional speaker, day!

Busy taking selfies....

So Tuesday night I attempted to take a selfie.....the boys obviously had other plans....

I tried again today in order to get a picture of my new lipstick for a friend of mine who is selling them and posting pictures of the colors on different skin tones....

I swear I must have taken 20 pictures and I still prefer the top picture because it is way less awkward! In other news, when Buddy and I were walking to his wresting practice yesterday, we passed by an antique store that was selling a guitar book of classic 50's to early 60's music....which means our evening was filled with this awesomeness....

Today he had some friends come over, so of course they joined in on the fun....

We started off with the Beach Boys and ended up with Weird Al......They're 12, and Weird Al is funny, so what can I say?  In other news, we have a rouge chicken that keeps coming into our yard....

It thinks it lives here.....I think Buddy needs to start learning how to pluck a chicken! In other, other, other news, our bananas are going bananas....

Yep, so all in all a super fantastic, super busy, day!

FHE....

Buddy set up a shooting range/obstacle course around the house.....

 We had to run around the house hitting our targets (the targets that Buddy took time out to make into faces)....that is until we got tired and just started lazy man shooting.

I guess that's what happens when you put a Buddy in charge of your Monday Night Activities, I couldn't have been prouder...So all in all a super fantastic, best rifle/obstacle course I've ever been on, day!

Slow?

I ordered a dress for Easter about a month ago, I even paid for "3 day shipping" so I could get it in time....it came just in time.....for me to wear it the Sunday AFTER Easter! 

The mail here is timely, that's for sure!!! Oh well, I won't complain about living on a warm and beautiful island....except when I change my mind and decide to complain. In other news, Buddy had his first wrestling competition yesterday over in Hilo. That boy worked so hard and never gave up even though all of his competitors kept trying to pin him down (kind of the point of wrestling....well, one of the points). He had 16 matches and only got pinned once. He had such a great attitude and was so excited to have the opportunity to compete that he kept telling me for the next 10 hours how much he loves wrestling.  I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned it....but I totally LOVE that boy! So all in all a super fantastic, great attitude, day! 

Egg Heads....

I figured Buddy was too old to dye Easter eggs this year, but I figured he wasn't too old to make funny faces.....

Yeah, he asked where the die was so we could color the eggs!!!!! In other news, I paddled my kayak across the ocean 2 miles so I could land in a nearby bag to  get this picture?

So all in all a super fantastic, dyeing eggs next year, day!
