August 26, 2008

It's still hot hot hot here in Hawaii nei. We live in a condo with no AC. So there are days when we crawl out of the door in search of kid friendly ways to cool down.

July 04, 2008

Happy Independence Day!! I listed all the self deemed preschool age appropriate activities (which means stuff that I would take Noah to) last week. I hope you are all celebrating in your own way!
