My 12 yod went on a cruise to Alaska last September...she says the glacier is worth seeing.....it's very blue and pretty. She said there are nice walking paths and you maybe able to see beavers and bears. And they have a cool gift shop....;)

Shop! :D In Skagway there is a train ride up the mountains...with tunnels and lots of old bridges and a beautiful view.

Happy Mother's Day....:001_smile: May, I ask what song it plays?

The honey baked chicken recipe, lentils, peanut butter bread, peanut butter balls and the many many others. :001_smile: I love that cookbook.

Cheaper by the Dozen

Cheaper by the Dozen! What a hoot....it's mt current favorite book. Trumpet of the Swan is another that we have enjoyed. ;)

Love to paint...so satisfying...and it's a great work-out. The last time I painted the whole inside of my house I lost 10 pounds over a 6 week period. I think it's time to repaint....shorts are feeling snug. :D

Er I have one on the pad of my left foot. That's pretty weird isn't it? :001_huh:

My 12dd just slipped me this list through the door: Cheaper by the Dozen To Kill a Mockingbird Pride and Predjudice Gone with the Wind The Witch of Blackbird Pond Calico Captive The Bronze Bow Holes ;)

SPAM? Just kidding, how about peanutbutter balls or granola bars? Or what about fruit kabobs with a yummy dip?

I enjoyed the Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters. Brother Cadfael is a monk in an English monastery in the 1135-1145 time frame. He solves murders mostly...;)

Thank you for playing.....:D I personally could do without ever having to see, smell or eat SPAM. But, my dear husband grew up in Hawaii and loves it. He has passed he gourmand tastes to our dear children, and alas I feel compelled to fry it now and again! :tongue_smilie:

I'm having a SPAM trivia contest on my blog today in honor of the Hawaiians love affair with SPAM. In the event of a hurricane SPAM is one the first things Hawaiians stock up on...right after toilet paper and rice! SO if you think you know SPAM check it out. There will be a pretty nifty prize for the winner. :lol: p.s. I DO have music playing on my blog...turn the volume up or down accordingly. ;)

We typically have a read-aloud going, explore state parks that we haven't before, swim, swim, swim, and visit with friends. Math facts are kept up..that only takes 5 min or less. And personal reading is encouraged. :tongue_smilie:

:iagree: When it's nice out, get 'em out! Yesterday, we spent the afternoon in the park. I had planned to read from our current read-aloud, but that just didn't happen. All four kiddos kind of went in four different directions! High rise livin' is hard on kids...they run when given the chance. ;) http://kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com

I know many of you are bloggers and really enjoy it. But do you ever get a brain cramp and can't think of anything to write about? What eventually inspires you? I started blogging in Febraury at the suggestion of my 12yod when we learned we would be visiting Hawaii for 3-6 months. My husband is working here and so the kids and I packed-up and flew to Paradise to be with him. Have you ever wanted to visit Hawaii...what would you like to see or learn about ? Have you been here and have fond memories ? Help. Yesterday, I resorted telling jokes! :001_huh: http://www.kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com

That was fast! Thank you.:001_smile: www.kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com

Hi friends, I'm looking for a quote from C.S.Lewis that goes something like :" loving everbody in general and nobody in particular" If anyone knows the comlpete quote and could share it with me that would be awesome! Thank you:001_smile:

I recently started a blog and a couple of times now I would have liked to been able to include a song within a post. I can't figure how to do this! :eek: Is it even possible to have a link type thingy within a post ? Or must I go about it some other way with maybe a realplayer type device at the bottom of the post? Pleeaasse help me if you can.:o ------------------------ kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com

We have purchased the first season of Leave it to Beaver and Giligan's Island. My kids have watched these over and over. We have also watched Mork and Mindy, The Rat Pack (a wwll based t.v show from the '70's my hubby adored as a boy) the Waltons and the Gidget movies. :cool:

...you too? I love Swedish Fish! Their yummy, raspberry, chewy goodness is the best! They were my favorite penny candy as a kid and now I see that Wal-Mart sells them in big bags..a pound maybe? Ya just gotta have 'em sometimes. It's okay. At least they are fat free. :p http://kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com
