It's Aloha Friday!

Wow! I didn't have to work today. I slept in. The Goo Babes have already eaten breakfast when I woke up. We said our morning prayers and gave our hugs. We left the house at 7:30 am. Warrior 2 and 3 walked to school while I dropped Warrior 1 and Princess to Kahuku. I got back and helped the King with his lunch. As I was putting it in his work van, I see Tita 96762 in front of the house with LavaLava. Plain Jane forgot her stroller so she had to go back and get it. I told her that I would join them. I haven't gone for a walk with my walking buddies forever! Well, the walk was what my body needed. They were nice about me tagging along although I probably slowed their pace down quite a bit. Thank you my "prends".

I'll be having lunch with the boys at school today. I'll let you know how that goes later.
Here is the school's schedule at the boys' school.

Friday – "Band Against Drugs" -- school-wide balloon activity
Children make circles – in unison all children recite "Lets Band Against Drugs" five times starting off very softly and by the 5th time make it very loud. Colored balloons are released in the middle. Each child picks up one red balloon and returns to teacher. Kindies are in the center and go first then 1st grade, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, then the 6th grade class will also stomp out all the other drugs (colored balloons) and return to their teacher. Each class will receive treats to be taken back to their classes to be eaten.

Lunch went well. Warrior 3 didn't think I was going to eat lunch with him. So, I guess he was surprised that I showed up. I found him in the cafe eating with his friends. Instead of going outside in the yard I just stayed in the cafe with him and his friends. I liked what the cafe was serving today. So, I ate Warrior 3's corn chowder and some of his tuna sandwich. He ended up eating his chalupa and my taco. He also shared his cinnamon twist with his friends. After they were excused from the table, we headed outside and sat on the cement in front the cafe facing the back of the library. Here he drank his chocolate milk and then had his dessert. Cookies and cream ice cream sandwich.

At 11:30 we said our goodbyes and I headed home. I had to take the rest of the ice cream back in the freezer because it was quickly melting. At 12 noon, it was Warrior 2's turn. He was eating with his classmates and their teacher. I went to say "Hi!" to the teacher, Mrs. Tupola and then they made room for me to sit. Warrior 2 ate all his food plus the chalupa I brought. When they were excused from the table, we went outside and we had dessert together. We too had cookies and cream ice cream..we just ate out of the 1.5 qt container. We were just shoveling and digging without taking note that it's half way empty! We got busy watching the 5th graders and 6th graders do a dance off. We said our goodbyes and I left the school at 12:45. So, that's my day with the Warriors.

Anyway, I didn't get to go volunteer today. I'm here at home blogging and listening to Mozart's Symphony #40 the Finale.
