Last week in June

Warrior 1 went to a week long Scout camp up at PUPUKEA.  He earned a couple of merit badges. He worked  hard.  He had a blast.  Scout Master said he was a crack up.  Throwing a one word or his two cents to a conversation that made those in his troop  laugh.  When asked what he liked about camp....he said "the food." and giggled.  What?!  That's it?  His favorite  was Thursday night's dinner.  It was steak and shrimp.    He said he really enjoyed working with his pocket knife.     Forgot to take his medication but was fortunate to not have any seizures.   Anyway, he survived camp.   No, mosquito bites compared to that first overnight camp they had last year.  Choke bites!  Well, Friday we were able to  attend their LUAU and saw how and where they lived for a week.   After dinner, we went to their camp site and there Warrior 2 and Warrior 3 entertained themselves playing with sticks until the 8 o'clock bonfire. We stayed until 10 o'clock and watched the different troops perform their songs and skits.  It took them a while to get the bonfire going and when it did....it was a big fire that went out pretty quickly  before the skits ended.   Had to use flashlights to shine at the boys doing their thing.  Some funny and others not so funny.  It reminded me of girls camp.  Some songs brought back memories of yesteryear.  There was this one troop who came all the way from TEXAS (loved their spirits)... and man they were a loud bunch of boys who had great  enthusiasm alright.  They wore their a very bright version of  an aloha shirt  and they had their troop numbers sewed on their straw hats.    How about that?  eeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!    Our troops  did the HAKA as the finale in honor of the very first boy scout in HAWAII who is 97 years old  and was present that evening ( forgot his name --I'll find out later) anyway, after the Haka was done Texas became very quiet.   They didn't know what to think I guess.   

 Now, that camp is  over.  Warrior 1's troop now have to fund raise to pay back  Uncle Andy and raise money for the troop.  PLATE LUNCH /$5  (chicken katsu, mac salad, fish cake noodles)  Warrior 1 needs to sell 20 tickets.  He has 16 tickets left.  This is for the 19th of July.  Interested in purchasing a ticket or two  give us a ring.  TITA 96762  and Mr. Tonga  thanks for your support!   We will see you later tonight for FHE.  The kids are looking forward to the activity prior to our FHE and dinner.  =)

I haven't been eating good this week.   I tried to eat more greens but  cravings for sweets dominated.   Aside from my yoga twice a week... I failed to wake up and go walking with Aunty Raine at 5 am Thursday....I was just too tired.  So we, tried again Friday and I was able to get up!  yippee!    I hope I wake up tomorrow to do some jump roping. =)  Oh, yeah!  I finally bought myself another stability ball.   This time I will not take it outside  for the kids to play with.  Last time I did that, it made a PUKA (abot, butas, hole).

It's been really hot lately.  NO BREEZE whatsoever.  HOTsu!  Sticky and so napudot (hot) man.  My back and my head hurt, I crave for chocolate and anything sweet. Yup, you've guessed it!  It's that time of the month.

  Well, it's the last day of the month and I still haven't done my visiting teaching yet.  My companion went on a vacation and I told her that I would  drop our message to our visiting teach-ees.   (I just cracked my upper back.)   This month's message  and some homemade oatmeal chocolate chip with Hershey's dark chocolate and almonds would have to count as our visiting teaching this month.  Hey, my companion is gone so that will do for now.

Next month is going to be busy.    Starting with the 4th of July celebration at  Turtle Bay.  (KCC will be fundraising for their trip to Carnegie Hall next summer.)  Uncle Lee and Aunty Jenn will be here this weekend.  Aunty Raine and I will be attending a pre/post natal yoga training.  Then we have ward camp.  My honeybuns is busy at the moment trying to get things ready for this big event.  Warrior 1's plate lunch fundraiser on the 19th and the end of the month...the kids go back to school.   That's some short summer.
