Big K and M

From the first day of school, Big K and M became buddies. Their mutual interests in Kikaida and Transformers help cement the friendship, even though two years have passed and they are in separate schools. When the two get together, it's still wild and crazy times!

The Kids Are Alright

Big K got a digital camera for Christmas from Aunty C. He started clicking away and I suggested we create a blog for him to post his images. The resulting site is live and online.

Classroom Fun

Last day of school before a THREE WEEK holiday break. We had a classroom party with lots of fun activities, a "feast" of snacks and gave presents to the teachers. The kids had a blast!

Meanwhile, we parents are groaning about 21 consecutive days with the kids - how long until everyone is bouncing off the walls and overdosing on eggnog - with extra shots of rum. Calgon take me away!

It's a Miracle!

We enjoyed an evening Christmas performance at school about the Nativity entitled "It's a Miracle!" They did a really good job and it was lots of fun seeing the entire school in action.

On another note, Big K discovered that the shopping center close to school has a baseball/trading card/toy store filled with lots of Pokemon, Transformer and Star Wars toys. Talk about kid heaven! When informed that good behavior could result in Santa delivering toys from this store, Big K gave us his trademark rascal smile - can you see the tilted halo above his head?

Choo Choo

We had a field trip to the Hawaii Railway in Ewa, and it was pretty cool going on the open air train and learning a bit about the history of this railroad (though admittedly it's tough to hear much when you have 20 kindergarteners close at hand).

The neat thing is that the ride gives a very different perspective of the City of Kapolei, which is undergoing massive construction since this will become Hawaii's "Second City." (Traffic, pollution, crime and other urban hassles at no additional charge.) All aboard!

...and more from the Doting Parent

Big K copied the cover art of the Peanuts DVD he got from Grandpa and Grandma. I have to say it's nice to see a departure from the mayhem and destruction that he usually depicts (Godzilla, Transformers, etc.).
