Welcome to Summer!

It's official!  We now have a fourth grader AND a kindergartner.  So crazy!  
My fourth grader...class of 2021!

Summer officially began on Thursday at 12:30 and we have been going, going, going ever since.  It started like this.....


Thanks for the idea Pinterest!
Thursday afternoon we headed to Waikiki to meet with some old friends from STL who happened to be vacationing here.  So fun to catch up on everyone's happenings since we were last together.  My students are now as old as I was when I was teaching them!  Funny how I still feel the same age.
Friday we eased into summer by sleeping in and chilling around the house.  The boys had their first basketball games on Friday night.  Caleb plays 3 on 3 with other four and five year olds.  He is SO TALL!  It's half court and you must outlet to your coach after each play.  The first rebound Caleb got he dribbled all the way down to the other end of the court!  Forget this half court stuff.  He started to get the hang of it after about a quarter and it should be fun to watch him grow each week.  Noah, much like soccer, is playing with people who have never heard of basketball. :)  He scored about 10 baskets for his team.  I've got to find him some better competition. This is crazy!
Saturday morning called for four hours of soccer and then a BBQ at our neighbors house complete with a slip and slide and water gun fight.


Movie night was moved to Saturday night.  This week we watched Hop.
Sunday morning we all slept...or at least stayed in bed until 9:00!  We gathered ourselves and headed to Hanauma Bay for some snorkeling.  Randomly, we ran into our friends from STL again!
Sunday afternoon/evening, we were LAZY!  A movie for Mom and Dad and some Wii for the boys.  We also discovered ooVoo where we can video conference with multiple people!  Love it!

Memorial Day was again fairly lazy....cleaning around the house, some homework for Mom, reading for all the boys, skyping with AZ friends, and a trip to the park to play basketball and tennis. The sun was pretty intense and I forgot the sunscreen so Jonah, Caleb, and I headed back to the car early.


We had every intention to attend the lantern floating ceremony that evening but we just couldn't get our acts together.  We need more long weekends to spend more time with Dad!  in discussing plans for today, Noah was stating all that he would do with Dad.  When I told him Dad was already at work, he was shocked!  "Dad has to work  in the summer?!?"  
Blasphemy!

And one more picture just because we miss him so much.  My nephew, T, in Arizona finally cut his hair short!  Uncle Eric has been teasing that boy about shaving his head for a long time.  Looking good, buddy!
