Holiday School Festivities

On Halloween day, Na'u's school had some holiday activities.  Parents were invited to come so I packed the boys up and headed out. 

The classroom tables were decorated for their party.

Every kid was wearing a costume, most of which were store bought.  Some were homemade but I was most impressed with this helicopter.  Isn't it cool?!

 Out in the courtyard, everyone (about 5 different classes and parents) formed a LARGE circle. Each class went one-by-one singing their favorite Halloween song.  They were all excited to share.  Na'u's class, Aloha Kamali'i, did a wonderful job.

My Na'u is growing up too fast.

On October 29th, Na'u's school had a fall fair. We are required to volunteer a few hours throughout the school year and so this was one of the reasons why we went.  It just so happen to be the same time that Cameron had to work and everyone of our babysitters were busy. This left me with one infant, one very active toddler, and one 'want to explore everything' preschooler.  I knew it would be challenging so I had been preparing myself mentally.  My plan...carry my Loli'i in the backpack carrier, strap Iwi down in the stroller with plenty of snacks to keep him occupied, and have Na'u just be a big helper.  We were assigned to help in the book fair section but Mrs. Cheryl (Na'u's class aid) was a total angel...

...or in this case an alien :). She made it really easy for me.

After, we got a $10 card ready for some fun.

The kids got to play some games and eat some shave ice.

The game in the top left picture was plinko.  The kids needed to place the ball in the tube, let it roll down, and watch it fall into a space below. Whichever slot the ball went into determined how many tickets they won.  I thought this was an easy enough game for Iwi Boy so I let him out of his stroller.  Not a bright idea.  As soon as he had a ball in his hand, he threw it across the room.  I just about wanted to die :).  I was already sweating cause I was still holding Loli'i, trying to help Na'u, and trying to keep Iwi from running away.  I couldn't add one more thing on my to-do list.  One of the other parents was kind enough to help me out :) and retrieved the ball.  Iwi eventually got the hang of it but that was it...back in the stroller he went.

The highlight of the day were these airbrushed tattoos.  A spider for my obsessed bug boy and a butterfly for the princess.

Iwi kept on showing his tattoo to people saying "bug, bug!" or "pider, pider!".  When it started to come off days later, his words changed to "bow-ken pider!"...too cute! 

We actually got a family shot.

I have the best baby ever!

Most times when I wait to do things, I always wait for Cameron to come with me but there are sometimes when a moms got to do what a moms got to do.  I <3 my job!
