Hat

This was taken back at home, but I finally finished my first knitting project. A strawberry hat for Mahana. Not great, but OK.

Why we love BK

He is obsessed with iPods and iPhones, and is always grabbing ours. Today I noticed that he changed my home screen to this picture of himself from last year. Middle child trying to get all the attention he can maybe.

Also, while picking his nose(he's been quite congested lately) he turned to me and asked: "Can I eat it?"

School pick up traffic

Look at the traffic jam in the parking lot for kindergarden pickup!

Kung Fu stance

BK just started busting this awesome Kung Fu stance all on his own tonight. 007 is super proud. I'll share better pictures of it later.

no Utah!

Quick update, I'll upload Easter pictures soon, but the big news is...

We didn't go to Utah this weekend! Why you ask, well BK had a double ear infection, Ed had just one ear infected and I had a nasty sinus infection. Plus Mahana has a cold. Fortunately with a doctors note, we won't loose money, and we'll likely go this summer instead.

Everyone is on the mend. Ed is doing great, and will head to school tomorrow. BK is no longer running a fever of 103 all day long, or at all for that matter, and I am not going through a box of kleenex a day anymore.

Once again I am so thankful for modern medicine and especially my good friend Amoxicillan.

Laughing

This was too awesome not to share. She was a little slap happy at this point(rolled over when she was supposed to be falling asleep).

Catharsis bonnet

I'm not enjoying kindergarden. Ed is exhausted by the end of the day, BK is lonely, frustrated and acting out, and it's throwing Mahana off of any semblance of a nap schedule. Plus they didn't let the kids play outside until they gave the tour today(day three). I understand why, and it's good reasoning, but I feel bad for Ed because it's what he has been wanting to do every day. I didn't know, so I told him to go play, and then the teachers told him not to. My fault, poor kid. So since we are all stressed, the boys went to bed early, and I sewed something. Projects make me feel better. Mahana needed a bonnet, viola!

And it isn't all that bad. Ed is more energetic once he gets home, is making friends and hearing lots of Japanese.
