Homework

I was checking Jonah's homework this morning, and thought the sentence in the middle was pretty funny:

Newest Member(s) of the Family!


There's a new baby in the family, and it's not mine! : ) Congrats to my sister Kim and her hubby, Mike, for their new baby girl born on Friday! Brooklyn Kawehikapuokalani Kerl. Don't even ask how to pronounce the middle name - we're crazy Hawaiians and all our kids get middle names, but this one takes the cake. I'm so sad I won't be able to see her until Spring Break, but we're so happy for you guys and she looks SOOOO cute!


Since I was sad it wasn't our family adding on (yeah right!), we added two more family members last week too. Here are Cinderella and Goldie:

Sisters

I had a fun week with the girls last week (except for the everyday "Mommy, your mean" rant from Elle). It's getting more and more fun to watch she and Mae interact. It reminds me of my sisters and how much fun (and drama) we had growing up. They look so different, but are so close.

I caught the two of them whispering secrets and laughing on the window sill.











We had our first official tea party (thanks Aunt Traci for the birthday gift!), where Elle fell in love with sugar and strawberries (especially the sugar part).











And seperately, they have their own funny little things they do. Elle and her toys in bed. Every night I say, "no toys in bed" and every night or morning I find her surrounded by them. She's such a ham and got really upset when she realized one of the arms to her Cinderella Christmas ornament had broken off. I'm sure due to her rolling on it during the night.









And my little Mae, always trying her best to keep up with her big brother's and sister. She carries a stool everywhere she goes to do the things they do. She is almost always around me and has to be a part of everything I do including right on the desk if I'm on the computer.
And the little stinker thinks it's hilarious to say "Dada" whenever I ask her to say Mama.



By the way, I'm aware that the girls kind of look like urchins in about 80% of these pictures (except for their sweet faces of course), but what can I say, we really don't like to get dressed until we have to and I'm definitely not doing there hair unless we're going somewhere. : ) It's pretty much a true account of our day to day.
