And on another note: Don’t forget, Aloha Friday – The Meme starts this week!
The whole idea behind Aloha Friday is to take it easy and look forward to a great weekend with family & friends. That’s why your post should be something simple – a basic question or topic of discussion. Then open up your comments and invite everyone to join in on the fun.
That’s it.
I’ll be posting a Mr. Linky on Friday where you can all add your sites so we’ll know who’s participating. If you’d like a button for your post, you can take whatever you want from here. If you’d like to make your own and add it to this collection, just let me know. The more the merrier!
To kick this off, I’m giving away a free 2008 Hawaiian Pictorial Wall Calendar to one lucky random participant. The winner will be announced on Monday. Hope you join me!
A hui hou!
Aloha to Grandma
My Grandmother passed away Sunday evening. She was 95 years old.
I keep writing and re-writing this post but the bottom line is . . . I wish I had spent more time with her. I wish I would have made more of an effort to see her, to have my kids get to know her better, but daily life just got in the way. And now it’s too late.
Why is it that it takes something tragic to happen before we realize what we should have been doing all along?
Whatever you’re doing right now, stop and take a moment to appreciate your loved ones. Call someone you’ve been meaning to. Give your children and spouses a hug. Tell someone you love them. Make the most of every day.
A hui hou Grandma.
Getting Ready for Halloween
For those who were asking, I will be holding my annual Halloween Costume Contest this year. I haven’t worked out all the details yet but start getting your photos ready!
Girlie Girl had a hard time deciding what to be for Halloween this year. She really wanted a costume from High School Musical but if you’ve seen what’s in the stores, you’d agree that they aren’t all that great. By just looking at the outfits, you can’t really tell who she’s supposed to be unless she wore a sign around her neck or something.
So, we resorted back to the old reliable Disney Princesses. I found the cutest Cinderella costume at Gymboree with a matching tiara, magic wand, and shoes. She loved it from the first moment she saw it. And to be honest, it made me feel good to think that maybe she wasn’t growing up as fast as I thought. However, this will probably be the absolute last year she’ll agree to be a princess so I plan on making the most of it!
As for Baby Bug, she still has no say in what she wears so I’m trying to find a mouse costume for her. Cinderella and a mouse . . . get it? Yes, she’ll probably hate me for it when she’s older.
What are your kids going to be for Halloween?
