last time I blogged

it was in August REALLY!!! WOW. (although I have blogged else where in the bloggy world) And I have updated a lot on face book. But really??? AUGUST??? Guess that brings me to what has been going on in my head - to blog or not to blog? Are blogs still in? Does anyone even READ my blog? Or blogs in general anymore? I use to not care, and did it more for my kids to look back on kind of like a virtual journal for them...but really is it worth it? Anyone out there want to weigh in?

Anyway, Kamae Ohana update.

Have you seen my google calendar? Yup, had to go google. It color coordinates all of our schedules and there is so much going on - if it is NOT on the calendar it does not happen.
SO the calendar is FULL. School, school, school, church stuff, church, work, PTA, volunteering, work, work, school, throw in a girls night, school, pre-school, piano, Hoapili, making Halloween costumes just right, house sitting, super Saturday! dog sitting, more dog sitting, baby sitting (a weekend Hula seminar where the Mr. and I actually got to have a little get-away a busy weekend but still time together). Halloween parties, Birthday's, church, singing, picture taking, piano, school, school, work work...ok, I think you get the picture.

I did actually get my Halloween decorations up just in time for Ms. Ava's birthday - true the end of the month but she woke up to a spooktacular house.

And - here it is Nov 1 and they are already down. I have chili cooking in the crock pot. The dish washer is running, I am blogging because the house is quiet and I am thinking about putting up fall decorations. I have a lot of cute ones and I don't want to put up Christmas stuff just yet. And how I wish I had time to sit and make some cards.

and now I will post pictures - because I know that is what you REALLY want  to see..
