Bubbles

Tuesday nights #2 and I are gone as we have class(we are both participating in praise hula classes) So I usually prepare dinner and have it ready for the boys. They usually do a fairly decent job of cleaning up. Tonight when we came home my daughter came upstairs and I went downstairs as soon as we came in. She said something to me about looking at the bubbles, since I had told her to go say goodnight to daddy I assumed she was talking about something he was watching/ doing. Well as it turns out she had found a lot of bubbles around the dishwasher. See I had used the last of the dishwasher liquid yesterday and I had intended to say something about picking up some more tonight(which didn't happen because I left my list at home!) So he had used the hand dish washing soap,which created many, many bubbles. To be fair both are the same brand and as he pointed out what he used did say dishwashing liquid;)
So we had some fun bubbles going on tonight!

The view

One of my favorite things about where we live is the water. I tried to capture the beauty but this was breakfast time and the sun was too bright for the camera. But this is one of the many parts of Hawaii I will miss! To be working in the kitchen or vacuuming the floor and look up to see the blue blue water is just so wonderful!! We are so blessed in the time we've had here.

First is silly face boy.

news

James came home today with a nice little(heavy)award. He is Sailor of the Quarter. Woo Hoo and Congratulations honey!


House news:
you may be getting these updates for the near future. We have found out that we won't be living here much longer so all of those half started projects have to get finished pronto!
I talked to 5 plumbers, had 3 come out and hired one. He starts on Monday, with what should be a 2 day project of installing our new tub. This little project was started months ago with James tearing out the old tub and surround and the end is finally in sight! Although much more $$$ than we had planned. I decided that we need to make sure that the boys especially are 'learned' in all kinds of house hold repair as they grow up so they can do it their selves and not shell out their hard earned money. Of course time is a factor too for us to hire someone but hey the more the children (and us) learn they better off they'll be.

Just an FYI. Make sure to hide the sugar. I didn't put it away today and the little guy decided to pull it off the counter and decorate the floor. I'm sure that made the ants happy, me not so much. Btw, the ants are back in cycle *sigh*

As far as our move goes we might be leaving as early as December(Mom and Dad as soon as this is fact I will call as it may change your plans?) Exciting and nerve racking........
Prayers for the whole moving process are welcome. Especially for the sale of our home.
