This new routine of weekly blog posts, I must admit, it's boring.  Sure, sure, a snapshot of the family is a good thing because these ordinary details would surely be forgotten.  Aside from that, however, it's made me realize that the mechanics of our lives are pretty unimpressive. It was just another nuts and bolts sort of week, minus any cool spinning, lights flashing, whirl-a-gig on top.  But I guess, for most of us anyway, that's just life.  

In fact, by Friday--knowing that my Sunday blog post was right around the corner--I grabbed the camera to capture the ordinariness of the moment. 

Hibiscus practices almost willingly.  I photoshopped the whip out of the picture.  You're welcome.

Evidence that Valentine's Day is around the corner AND that our house is full of girls.  It cracks me up to find Polly Pocket dolls placed in the most strategic locations. 

Notice the inspirational view from our office window.  I suppose it's rather surprising, considering our dad is a computer geek, that we have but one computer in our house.  Same goes for a television.  Both are shared by all.  The computer is dominated mostly by online math games for the kids.  Which is why most of my blog posts hit at midnight.  By then, of course, the lovely, inspiration view is nothing but a black abyss. 

It's next to impossible to write during the day.  I imagine someday I'll have all the time in the world to write during the day, but without any kids around to supply as much material.  Such a shame.

Calling all Tarzans: This weekend we hiked Maunawili Falls Hike with our neighbor friends.  The jungle was thick with mosquitoes.  Despite our coat of bug spray, we still got nibbled over.  Aside from the itch factor, it was a beautiful hike.  The root swings were the best part!

Always on the grow,
