5:15 am - Alarm went off.
5:30 am - Rolled out of bed.
6:30 am - Went for my morning run.
9:30 am - Out the door with 4 kids in tow to pick up my 7th graders school schedule and get an ID 9i can't believe I have a child this old).
10:00 am - Swim lessons for all 4 kids (last day. YAY!)
11:00 am - Rush home to change all 4 kids & feed them lunch.
11:30 am - Out the door with the same 4 kids for an hour's drive into Honolulu at UH for Leigh's Volleyball Camp (last day. YAY!).
1:00 pm - Drop Leigh off and head to Bishop's Museum to entertain my other 3 kids for a couple of hours while we wait for Leigh.
3:30 pm - Done at Bishop Museum, head to McD's for a treat, then back to UH to watch Leigh play (BTW, we spent 20 mins going from gym to gym trying to find which one Leigh was playing in. Of course it was the last one that we looked in.)
5:30 pm - Get all 4 kids back in the van for another 1 hour drive back home (catching a little rush hr traffic as well).
6:30 pm - Finally reach home (after being in the car with loud children).
Can we say "busy"?!
Here are the pictures to prove it:
Swim lessons. Micah getting instructions. He loved swim lessons.
Due to Kara's shyness, we put her in private lessons. She came out of her shell and now swims like a fish. You'd be proud Aunty Sara.
Tyler learned what swimming was all about. He did have fun doing it.
Leigh loved swim lessons as well. She did great and improved on her skills.
Bishop Museum. The kids trying to pump the volcano display.
Kara trying to go down a not-so-slippery slide.
So cute!
Where's Arizona?! That's what the kids always ask when they see a map or globe.
He's one of those mutant 5 animals rolled into one creature.
Insect exhibit.
Tyler and Micah looking on at their Tongan heritage. The Bishop museum has many polynesian artifacts on display.
Leigh waiting for the serve.
Phew! All done! Leigh had fun though. Four days of volleyball camp. Each day was 4 hours long. I knew she had worked hard when I would pick her up and she was demanding to eat meat! LOL!
These two girls were her coaches. They both play for UH's volleyball team.
Micah posing for one last shot.Busy? ---- Yes. I'll tell you a secret though (come close). I didn't mind at all and would do it again, because I love being a mom.
I think I'm gonna go to bed now.
