The vog has lifted and the trade winds are back. We had a high of 85 yesterday and the mountains were still covered with some clouds, but it was a beautiful day!
Yesterday was another furlough Friday, so Annika worked on her handwriting booklet and a few pages in her grade 1 workbook. On Thursday, I had a parent/teacher conference for the closure of quarter one. She is doing very well in math and science, but is having some troubles with writing/reading/phonics. With help, she is getting better.
For Halloween we will be heading down to Hickam AFB to go trick-or-treating with friends. Annika will be Tinkerbell. This will be her first t-or-t experience. Tomorrow we will be going to a carnival, also on Hickam.
For now, we are laying low. I've got a migraine and Annika's tired from running around playing with the girls. They had a slumber party last night. It was a fun time. Pizza, popcorn and The Wizard of Oz. What a perfect way to spend the evening.
Have a safe Halloween!

Vog, steam and the missing Trade Winds.
It's been awhile since I have updated. Craziness here!
Good news on the ear. The infection is gone, but I do have two holes in the ear drum that need to heal yet.
The weather has been hot and steamy. The vog is heavy this week and the haze is covering the mountains. It was strange not to see the mountains this morning when walking back from the school. Last night we were down at Pearl Harbor to run errands and when we came home, the mist was so heavy in the canyon that you could cut through it.
I will be glad when the Trade Winds return. It will cut the heat a bit.
Aside from that, there isn't anything new to report.
I am excited for a trip back to MN for the holidays. I will be in MN from 17 December to 01 January. I am sad that I will be away from my husband during the holidays, but I haven't seen my family for a long time. So, if I can spend time with my family it will make up for not being able to spend the holidays with my dear hubby. We've started shopping for the warm clothes. :) It's hard to find winter jackets here! I've started to pack my suitcase with souvenirs and Christmas gifts.
That's all that's happening at the moment.
