keiki hula

This was the first run through before church started. You always need that run through to get focused, lol! They did great when they danced during the service but I didn't have them as focused in the camera. Guess because I was watching them instead of watching through the camera then;)




During their 'real' performance a couple of the girls were singing as they danced. Love how real and cute kids can be!

Pictures, because I'm behind

See this photo, it frustrates me. Why? Not the subject matter but the way it is side ways. Why is it sideways? Anyone? In my photo album in looks normal so why does it come out funny?
If you can tilt your head that is #2 with her hula group today. I'll try to post the video in a bit.


The 14th was a nice day with scattering rain droplets abound. We decided to spend some time outdoors, James and I had been able to spend the morning together while the kids enjoyed decorating cookies with their favorite sitter. So I was a little tired in the afternoon but wanted to get the family out of doors. Hmm, where to go where I can relax and yet let the kids to run around? Oh yes, the beach! So besides coming home covered in sand(them from rolling around in it and us from being pelted by it when the wind gusts got us) we had a very enjoyable afternoon:)

The children had a dental check up today and I must have some of the only kids that like the dentist. A couple of them kept saying how much they LOVE the dentist! I personally think it has more to do with the fancier toothbrushes and nifty flossers they get;) #4 sat in the big chair all by himself this time. He looked so cute and tiny in that chair.

silliness

Earlier this week we had a lot of howling cold wind. #2 says in a voice of despair "When will winter ever end?"
Poor child has yet to be introduced to a real winter yet!


The children were all playing with the play kitchen. #4 starts walking away and then turns around, sticks his hand out and says "Pause! I'll be right back."

Nothing like the little one ruling the bunch! And to hear his little 2 year old voice saying pause had me cracking up!

Homeschooling

Just thought I'd post this article if you wish to read something about homeschooling. Sounds similar to what I've heard around here in different circles. Guess different countries might not be so different after all.

I've got some bread ready to go in the oven-I love the smell of dough rising(and baking)! Unfortunately it took me all day to get it going so now I have to stay up and wait for it to finish. "Late" night snack anyone? Doesn't warm bread with melted butter sound yummy!

the camera cord has been found(too bad my glasses weren't) so here are some random pictures from the last month.
