Haley's May Day Hula Performance

Haley got to perform with her hula group at the May Day

school performance. The girls were good and watched

the entire show in order to get a frozen yogurt at Costco

afterwards. Haley also did a dance with her class to a song

she practiced for weeks. It was a really cute performance

but was very hot out in the sun. Thank goodness for ice cream.

Good job Haley for practicing so hard and doing such a great job.

Not Halloween makeup

One day after church the girls were playing in the bathroom.

I asked what they were up to and this is what emerged from

behind the door. They had gotten into my makeup and decided

to become cats for the day. So cute and creative!

Lookin' good Kayla

Thank you Haley for all the artwork on your faces. Good

thing you learned to draw in kindergarten this year!

Family celebration

On Thursday night I decided to take the girls to

Chuck E Cheese because they were begging for

months before their birthday to go. I had to work

on Friday which was their birthday so we went

on Thursday night instead. They had a good time

playing games and eating pizza. Okay, they loved

the games anyhow. It was all about them right.

After Chuck E Cheese we went to Baskin Robins

to get an ice cream since I wasn't going to make

them a cake after having all the cupcakes at the

playgroup party. It was a really fun evening with

the family.

On Friday we weren't going to do anything but make dinner

and let them open presents from family members. However,

I was tortured into making a cake even though I didn't have

plans to do so. I whipped one up quickly before I ran off to

work. This is my last minute beauty. It had to be pink!

Playgroup Magical Fairy Party

Happy 4th Birthday to the twins. They are so excited to be

big girls now, even though they still want to suck their thumbs.

This year for their birthday I decided on a magical fairy theme.

It was really last minute but it came out cute. They are really

into unicorns and horses and fairies so that is what I rolled with.

I tried not to purchase anything and only use what I already had.

It turned out great. I had decorations, costumes for them and

even used food that was already in the fridge. I celebrated on

Thursday with playgroup so they felt like they got a party with

their friends. It was just easier to plan it on a day I already knew

everyone would come. We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,

carrots, apples, and of course cupcakes. The only problem is that in

Hawaii, frosting melts like crazy, so most of the cupcakes were

eaten before the lunch. After eating we had the playground to

play at and bubbles that kept us busy for a good long time.

They opened presents and had a really good time with all of their

friends. Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate Keeley and Kayla's

4th birthday. Thanks for all the great gifts too. They loved them!

No expense family pets

There are cats that hang out in the field around our house and

this is what came of it. Seven little kittens hang out in our yard

now. They are super cute but I am glad I don't have to feed them.

We even saw the mother cat bring a mouse for them to eat one

day. They do love playing in my garden though, little mess makers.

The girls watch them play and say they want to keep them, but

the best pet is the one you don't have to pay for!
