While It Lasts...

Just a simple little post about the things I'm trying to cherish in my life.

While It Lasts...

• the genuine hugs from my daughter before she becomes the TEENAGER
• the giggles E has over the little things we often over look
• couple time, though there isn't much of it still, before a deployment
• the cool breezes here in Hawaii during the Winter season
• the newness of finding that "spot" you haven't traveled to yet on the Island
• enjoying a new craft before you find out the hard way it isn't for you after all
• the beautiful sunsets on the North Shore...oh my are they a sight to behold
• time with family before they get on your nerves...lol
• the favorite flavor bite of ice cream or savory snack you sneak into your gaping maw when your child isn't looking or begging your for a bite of it....I'm sure some of you know what I mean.  I did it to my parents with the big doe eyes of innocence too.
• sneaking into your child's room while they are sleeping to watch them sleep just because you can
• hearing my cat call me "maw-maw".  He just started to call me that this past week.  It is so heart warming.

Today it is Screaming and Crying

Grandma, Uncle and Girlfriend are all here visiting for the next week.  Grandma has been here since mid January.  Today Little E had had enough when the three of them wanted to go some place and she wasn't invited.

Yesterday Uncle and his girlfriend arrived on island.  Now that they are here Little E is now second fiddle and she detests it.  She was the spoiled one for a few weeks with Grandma.  She had all of Grandma's attention.  Of course the way in which Grandma told her know was not so nice either.  Heck even I would have had hurt feelings.  Come on now we all know there was room in the rental car for the car seat even Little E knows that.

They went to the BEACH.  You can't do that to a little kid.  NO not the BEACH.  That is the one place a 3.5 year old loves the most on an island.

So when it started to rain, and it came down hard I told Little E that it served them right to not take you.

See what happens when you piss off a little kid in Oahu!  Hopefully they don't piss of Pele next.  I'd rather not have a volcano erupt!
