And the Winner is....

Aaron...he was the closest guess. The price was $14.70, he guessed $15. Until next time.....

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is being good so Santa doesn't skip your house this year. Be safe and remember the real reason we celebrate!

A Must Watch!

So Cute and SO true!

(Don't forget to guess, it's still going.)

Guessing Time Again....

So what do you think, $20, $30, $100....The possibilities are endless and this time there will be a prize! (Take a guess at what the brown thing is in the bottom right corner.) Two guessing games in one....you are so lucky (or I just really want some comments)!

Living in Hawaii has a few perks and China Town in one of them! Have fun! After 5 guesses I will give a hint (that is if no one guesses correctly).

Will I Ever Sleep Again?

That is the question I ask myself nightly. I spoke too soon when I was telling my friend that my girls were doing great sleeping in their own beds and I'm sleeping. The last few nights I just couldn't wait for the sun to come up. At 11 and 12 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5. Getting back to sleep is no easy feat for me. I just pray for the patience to carry on and make it until it's time to really get up.

Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem? If is not Lucy it's Ellie. If it's not Ellie is Lucy. Recently the thought of going to bed gives me anxiety. Getting comfortable and relaxing isn't nice anymore. I know I will be awaken by, "mommy, I want hold your hand", "mommy, I want to sleep in your bed", WAHHHHHHHHHHH!", "WAHHHHHHHH",WAHHHHHHHH", or "mommy, I have a go pee pee". All legitimate excuses, but man it sure can take a toll on you during the day. Oh and get this, if I'm not up with them I'm usually dreaming that I am, yes dreaming, about getting up in the middle of the night with them. Sucks, I know!

Will I ever get time to myself, will I ever get to take a shower by myself, will I ever get to go to the store without hearing, "I want, I want" (oh, wait that's me), will I ever get to do my exercise video without having someone sitting on my lap, will I ever get to eat a meal is peace while it's hot, will I ever sleep again? I know there will come a day when they wont want me and I'll stay awake anyway and check on them and worry about them and fret over them, and and and...

How's your day going?

Guess I wont be moving to the Big Island anytime soon!

While Julius was on the Big Island (Kohala) he went surfing.  When he came back this very nice message was on his rental car window.  

Move Over Beethoven

We had a great time in California.  I spent money, did stuff with friends and had a nanny (aka mom), how much better could it get.   The girls and I had a great time with the family.  The weather was spectacular, well it was cold between 4pm and 12pm, but the rest of the time was great.

We are happy to be home and back to our regular routine.  There is nothing like a vacation, but being home is really great, too!

Here are the girls playing the piano at mommer and papa's house. Aren't they cute!?!?!?!?

CALIFORNIA

I'm in Sacramento (freezing my little toesies

off) and loving ever minute of it (well, Julius isn't here so maybe not every minute). The girls are having so much fun with the family. I am sitting here right now by myself...no children jumping on me, crying for or because of something, asking for food or a drink, ecetera, ectera, ectera. This is going to be a really good three weeks! Will post soon!
