Ughh... >_<"

Last night Mimi came home from daddy's house with a hurt foot. He said she fell at the bouncy place at Pearlridge.
He wasn't even there when it happened. She went with his parents and sister. So that got me pissed off. >_<"

Anyway, it was swollen and she didn't want to stand or walk on it. So, this morning we took her to the doctor. She said it wasn't a sprain and it was probably a fracture.

She sent us to Pali Momi to get take a few xrays. The office called us back, and yup, it's fractured. >_<"

We have an appointment with an orthoperdic doctor tomorrow afternoon.

For today we are just icing and elevating her foot and making sure she stays off of it.

My poor baby..... :(

Hello.

How was everyone's weekend?

Did you spend time with family? Go to church? Eat a lot of yummy food? Hunt for eggs? Color eggs?

All of the above? :)


Today Mimi and I helped my mom and sis at the shop. Then we picked up my grandpa and went to visit my nana(grandma). My mom takes him every monday. Then we went to the mall to eat lunch.



They have a little train that goes around the mall and Mimi actually went by herself. She doesn't usually like to do that sort of thing, but she did. Probably because mommy was walking behind the train. lol! :P



We also went to the post office and then to the NEX. Bought some cute felt embelishments, stamps, alphabet/number tablets for Mimi to practice writing, and a cute Spottie Dottie coin purse. :)


Oh, I also got to sew something today.

I made a small reversible drawstring bag. yay......lol! :P

Happy Easter


Hello.

Today was Bub's last game. He did really good. They won! 5-4! Good Job, Black Tigers! :D

After the game we had a potluck and the boys got medals and trophies. :)




Tonight we had our monthly family dinner and did Easter stuff for the kids. They colored eggs and had an easter egg hunt with plastic eggs. They had fun. :)








Tomorrow is church. I am dancing hula and the kids are gonna have a little easter egg hunt. Mimi is gonna say her scripture she's learned in front of everyone. (John 3:16) She's super excited about that. lol! Can't wait. :)

HAPPY EASTER!

Soccer Saturday

The Black Tigers had their first lost today. 2 - 1.

That's ok. They played a good game. Next week is their LAST game. Boooooo! >_<"

I guess it's time to look for another sport Bub can participate in.

As for Mimi, she wants to take ballet. I've been looking online for ballet classes, but they all seem more professional and expensive. I just want her to join for fun. Test the waters, and see if she actually likes it. I mean, she's almost 3 1/2 and i'm not sure how her attention span will be in class and I don't want to spend a lot of money if she doesn't like it.


After the soccer game, the kids and I went to Ross and Toys R Us. Bought them each a DS game and then we went to Ice Garden for some shave ice.

It's been sooo hot and humid this past week. The shave ice was just what we needed to cool down a bit. Well, and because mommy was craving a #7....LOL! ^_^

Ice Garden #7.



Bub & Mimi @ Ice Garden.



Have a great weekend! :)

Mommy Needs a Break >_<"

So..........today I went to Ben Franklin (craft store). I wanted to go look for a few things. They were having a "Kokua Sale-abration" today. It was 20% off your total purchase. They were donation a portion of their sales to the Japanese Red Cross Society to aid Japan in their recovery efforts. I saved about $7. :)

Anyway, I had the kids with me and they were driving me nuts. >_<"
Running around in the store, touching things, not listening at all.

Ugghh! Mommy seriously needs a break!

Good thing daddy is off tomorrow. He is gonna take the kids after church.
Mommy gets to relax for a little bit.

Soccer on Wednesday

Bub's soccer game got rescheduled for today at 5pm. They are using the field on saturday for an easter egg hunt thing.

They did ok today. The game ended up being tied. 2 - 2. Good Job, Black Tigers! :)

This was the first and probably ONLY game that daddy got to see. He works on saturdays so he misses Bub's games. He takes him to practice if he's off on that day, but it's not the same. The games are more exciting! lol! :P
