It's amazing how life gets crazy busy so quickly. I start my mornings with every intention of updating my blog, but, something else always comes up. Weird how that works... Princess Cranky Pants is going to be eight tomorrow. Wow. It seems like just yesterday she was a wee baby gherkin. The years have gone by so quickly. And, so much has happened. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be where I am today. Life has a way of derailing and taking you off the tracks for a bit!
The weather has been very warm and humid lately. My sinuses are not happy. I'd like for the tradewinds to come back. At least that would knock down some of the heat.
A couple of weeks ago we went to the swap meet and did "touristy" things: bought souvenirs and had shave ice. It's fun to do that every now and then. But, the heat got to be a little bit intense. After two hours, we were all melting. Later that afternoon I took the girls to a friend's house for a playdate. Annika got to decorate rice krispie bars. She thought it was awesome.
We also took a day trip to downtown and over to Manoa. Manoa is a beautiful area. Lush and green. It's also where our favorite cloth diaper store on the island is, baby aWEARness. We bought more fluff for Sweet'n'Lo. I am happy to say that we are now 100% cloth diapering. It was a bit of investment, but the cost savings in the long run makes it worth it! Plus, it's great for the environment.
After shopping, we went to Red Lobster for a yummy lunch. Then, we went walking around the marina and spotted some jellyfish! All in all, it was great to spend some time together.
This week has been busy with the planning of Annika's birthday party. She is very excited to be having an OUTDOOR pool party. It's pretty rare to have one of those for an April birthday, unless you live somewhere warm. I've got cupcakes to make and decorations to buy. I suppose that I should get that done before time gets away from me.
A hui hou!
