The Girls

Julia has been steering clear of chemicals recently. She's been really good actually. Sarah and Julia keep telling each other that they love each other and then they'll hug really tight; it's really sweet. The girls have also started there "nastics"; this is when they do somersaults in the yard. Julia likes' to knock the chairs over and pull herself up on the top legs and then flip. Julia is still not interested in potty training. I don't want to force her into it but I would like her to start. Dann read some where that the average age for girls is three. That seems to be the time where Sarah really had it. Julia is just very set in her ways and if she doesn't want to do something she wont. But she does seem to go to her room and close the door when she poops so maybe that's a start.
Mom and Dad are so good with the kids. Dad got a soccer ball to play with the girls and they had a lot of fun with it this morning. Mom dropped me off at ballet yesterday and took the girls to the mall. I have to say that I do have a lot more time for myself then before we came here. It's very important for sanity sake and if I'm healthier then I'll be better for the girls as well.
Sarah is getting to be more grown up all the time. It's so strange to me she really isn't a baby any more. This past week she's been singing Twinkle Little Star at bed time the whole way through. Before she would sing one line over and over again but she really has the song down now. She also sings her alphabet now and "reads". She recites the story from her memory as she's turning the pages. It just amazes me.

I'm So Cool

Today I failed my Hawaii drivers' license test. Which is ridiculous because I know all that stuff. I mean I've been driving for a decade. I just have really bad test anxiety which sounds like a loaded excuse but it's the truth. So I have to take the driving part and the written part next week. Hopefully I'll pass or maybe I'll get a bike or bus pass. It's just so stupidly embaressing.
I started Real Estate Class this past week and it was ok. I know I'm going to need to study my butt off so I know the whole thing backwards and forwards. So when that adrenalin creeps up on me I'll be able to still answer the questions. I have two months to study so hopefully if I don't have a drivers' license I'll at least have a Real Estate License. It's funny and by funny I mean very sad because this is the second time I failed the Hawaii Drivers test. Six years ago I took the same test, failed, and then failed the road test. Major De Ja Vu. The only difference was I cried uncontrolabley last time. So at least I'm matureing maybe. Any way, there are far more pressing matters in the world so with all things considered it's not that big of a deal; just very embaressing.

Computer connection in our room!

We got our computer moved to our room yesterday; it really is cool to have such instant access. We totally rearanged our room so there is so much more space! It looks like we could fit three cars in here =). It really does look nice. Mom, Dann, and I completely switched the furniture around the living room/dining room so now we have so much more space and it flows so much better.
So I'm pretty happy about all of that and Dad and I put together a closet organizer in the girls room so now it's so much easier to put stuff away. I go crazy for storage these days, it makes me excited.
Dann chaperoned Sarahs' first class trip to the aquarium. He said it was fun; the kids have a really hard time fallowing directions but then again they are 4. So all in all they had a blast.

Sarah is a big girl now.

She went to school for the first time on Friday and loved it. It was a little bit more rough getting her ready for school today because she insisted I make pancakes at the crack of dawn. Now that I look back on it I should've just made her the darn pancakes. She was also mad because she didn't like the way I was fixing her hair. The girl is particular. She's learning Spanish for 15 min. a day. The teacher was impressed on how she was picking it up. They also have a bad manners table for the kids who aren't eating nicely. When Dann walked in to pick her up last Friday there was a little boy sitting at the bad manners table by himself because he was poking other kids with a fork. I thought that was pretty funny and a good idea to try at home. It's been really quite with out Sarah but me and Julia are having some excellent quality time.

Mammas Here!

Mom got in a couple of days ago and we are all happy she's back. We've been getting a lot of things done. Today we all got together to work on the house and it feels so much better.

Weight Watchers Yogurt

Rachel Ray is one of my favorite celebrities. So when some kid offered me a magazine subscription I was all over that. The magazine is great, it has awesome house hold tips and recipes. At least a quarter of the thing is advertisements, but hey that's every magazine. The weight watchers yogurt advertisement pulled me in with all the desert sounding flavors. This morning I tried it and I can't get over the fake sugar. It's so disgusting, I hate how fake sugar has a mediciney taste to it. So if you don't like fake sugar, it's safe to say don't try it.

As of late.

It looks like I'm entering the world of Real estate. Classes start in September twice a week for 8 weeks. Once that is done and I pass with flying colors; I will then learn the odds, ins, and outs of Real estate with Dads' help. So I'm excited about learning something new and helping out with Dads' business.
The girls are doing well, I've been searching for people to put together a playgroup with and it's finaly coming together. I met this really nice lady named Rosa and her 21 month old. They just moved here from Colorado a month ago and they are great. The girls love her little girl named Taylor. She recomended some sight to me and so we now have a play group with one other lady that I haven't met yet. I'm pretty sure most people work in Hawaii Kai and as a consequence all the kids seem to be in day care. I think it will be fine for this year though. Sarah will be in preschool and Julia and I can fill our days up with playgroups and trips.
I'm just excited for this business venture because it will work well with the kids and we'll have income while Dann is going to school full time.
