what are we looking at???

This would be some attempts at getting close-ups pics of the STAPLES Kaipo got in his head last night. He was being his crazy Kaipo self, fell and hit his head on the edge of my dresser. That thing started bleeding like you wouldn't believe! I was scared, and so was he seeing all the blood. His back side was covered with blood b4 mom could get a towel on it to apply pressure. It did stop bleeding rather quickly, but the gash was pretty deep. Luckily he continued to ACT his crazy, normal self, so we were pretty sure he didn't have a concussion. Luckily Quinn was home and did some research online, asked Kaipo some memory questions, and then we called the hospital. I did end up taking him about 8:30pm to the 24 hour WEE CARE PEDIATRIC. He got 5 lovely staples right in his head, no numbing or anything. The Dr. did give us the option of applying something that would take the edge off, but he would still feel it, plus we would have 20-30 minutes for that to kick in, so he suggested we just do it quick. After Kaipo charmed everyone in the office with his smile and personality, he shed some tears & screamed when he realized what was happening. Who could blame him?? I mean STAPLES in your head! I think I would scream too. But he was very brave, got a handful of suckers and has been fine ever since. Now he thinks it is pretty cool that he has actual staples in his head. We have to go back in a week to get them taken out, but the Dr assured us it hardly hurts to get 'em out. I sure hope he's right! And luckily Kaipo already has a buzz so they didn't have to shave any of his head.
I just can't believe we haven't had to do anything like this b4 now!
Cross our fingers we don't have to again for at least a few more years!!!

Kindergarten Program

This morning Ame had her end of year

Kindergarten Program.

Ame and Irelyn
Her simple part:
Everyone is special, wouldn't you agree

They sang A LOT of really cute songs

It was a great length and not to long.

Nothing like some programs that just go on AND ON...
Way to go OUR shining star!

Can't believe this school year is almost over.

Then we will have an ALL day 1st grader-WOW!

Some pampering

I don't do things like this for myself very often, and I have NEVER had a pedicure. But have always wanted one. This being the week of Mother's Day, I thought I deserved it, so I made myself an appt for a Spa Pedicure. It was fantastic-from the scrub, to the hot wax wrap, to the hot rock massage. I don't know what was best. But it sure was nice!! Now I just need a tan on those WHITE feet :)

house update...going to be done SOON

We went and visited our house on a Tuesday evening and WOW is it finishing up quickly. They tell us now it could be done as early as June 7th. The outside is mostly complete, except the front door needs to be stained, the garage doors put on, and whatever they do to the foundation along the bottom. Oh yes and they are putting in our front yard. The inside has cabinets, paint is done, lights fixtures & doors on. So it is definitely moving quickly. It is exciting to see it all taking shape and coming to its finishing stages!!

one to remember

I am not very good at remembering to document things my kids say, but I just had to jot this one down:
The other day Ame and I were on our way home from her Hula lessons and the traffic was terrible. I had the radio on and a commercial was on about chewing tabacco. She was obviously intently listening because she started asking questions about tabacco. And we discussed that it is the same thing that is in cigarettes and that some people like to chew it instead of smoke it. I was trying to give just enough info to answer her questions but not go into too much detail. So she was quiet for a minute and then said, "Isn't that the stuff dad like to eat?" I said WHAT? And she said, "yeah the hot stuff he is always putting on his food". I thought for a minute and then realized she was talking about TABASCO. I had a good chuckle inside, but tried to not laugh out loud too much because she gets so sensitive about making mistakes and someone laughing AT her. I just responded, honey no that is tabasco and is NOT the same thing. She said "oh yeah" and got a huge look of RELIEF, knowing that her daddy wasn't eating TABACCO...the really bad stuff :)
