Weird stuff....

Weird things happen at sleepovers, I just never thought I'd still be part of them at the ripe old age of 40....

So all in all a super fantastic, seriously, go to bed, day!

Families....

Shane has been off for the last two days, and  he's trying to get in all the family time he can before Buddy goes back to school in two weeks. Apparently to Shane, quality family time includes shoving us in the car to make the 90 minute drive to Hilo just so we can go to Wal-Mart and do this....

I think Shane may need more time off, but maybe that's just me! In other news, those hula classes Buddy takes at school are really paying off! By the way, do you love Buddy's matching ensemble...he dressed himself. The OCD in me is kinda going a little kooky about the mis-matching outfits he keeps wearing, but bless his poor little color-blind heart! So all in all a super fantastic, families that hula together stay together, day!

Working out....

Buddy attempted to wait up for me to come home from my night shift last night. The boy was awake @ 6am when Shane woke up to get ready for work, so Shane insisted he go straight to bed.....Nice parenting, just about 8 hours late, but I guess better late then never! Anyway, Buddy was a fantastic sleeping partner and we slept in until 1200, then I decided to not be totally lame today and took Buddy swimming....

Thankfully, he ran into a friend while he was there to save me from the sub-arctic temperatures of the swimming pool! Then we came home and did some school work. The school work was rudely interrupted by sounds of giggling children in the cul de sac. When Buddy went out to tell the children to quiet down so he could continue on his path of learning, he was overpowered and forced to join in the play (ummm, at least that's the story we're totally going with).....

Too bad the picture is missing the 600 (really 8) children having a blast on bikes/scooters/green machines/skateboards in the background. It was awesome, well, until the 600 children left to go eat dinner. Sheesh, food, you would think people need it to exist or something! So all in all a super fantastic, not sleeping, day!

The pickup artist....

Today Buddy picked up a new set of glasses....

Later, he decided to test his hand at picking up a girl (he's a little rusty since school let out)....

Let me assure you, it was well done! Too bad he couldn't pick up a new set of teeth while we were out and about.....

Ha! That boy makes me laugh! So all in all a super fantastic, picking up things, day!

Pro....

Leave things like skateboarding to the professionals....

Errrrr, as long as you don't mind the professionals to be professionals at running around the skate bowl instead of actually using a skateboard, that is!

So all in all a super fantastic, professional goofballs, day!

Boys....

Boys are so weird! They'll play with anything, the grosser the better! Case in point....

Me telling them it was horse poo really didn't deter them in any way! When they were done with their nasty mess they were sure to dump it in the ocean. I may or may not have played a part in  contaminating the Pacific Ocean today! So all in all a super fantastically messy day!

Trepidation...

Buddy went to a birthday party at the skate park Tuesday. He was anxious the whole week leading up to the party, because he is not a skater.....and he doesn't like to fall ( a winning combination if you ask me)....

He came home after the 5 hour long party  and was totally excited, begging to go again soon. Of course, he didn't venture into some scary skateboarding trickery, instead focusing on his easy peasy EZ-roller. By that, I mean, I think he sat on his little roller cart and scooted around the sidewalk of the skate park. But he didn't fall, which means someone had a fantastic time. Talk about lowered expectations! Tonight we left to go to a little shin-dig at the beach  with one kid and came back with 4. I am now watching a Star Wars Marathon with 4 very sugared up kids that are supposed to be sleeping at a "sleepover". Good times! But then again I think that's my sleep deprivation from working the last few nights and not sleeping during the day talking! So all in all a super fantastic, marathon means only one right?, day.
