Thursday May 22

It was Porter's Preschool Graduation Luau today.

He has been so excited for this thing!

As soon as he found out it was a Hawaii party, he had to get Hawaii clothes!

I took him to 'kids again', and luckily they had the perfect Luau stuff :)

He picked his shirt and shorts all for under $3 :)

Not bad!

He has had it laid out and ready to go for a week now.

He even dressed his panda bear in it so he could keep all the stuff together.

Smart boy.

The MINUTE he woke up this morning, it was on him.

Hat, lay, flip flops and all.

For the whole day!

He started off the morning by making me a cereal box scare crow to put by the front door.

Pretty great, right :)

We got the girls off to school and my VT were over for a little bit, then we went and helped Dad with more irrigation stuff.

I need to take pictures of what Dad has done out there, cause it is working out great for our irrigation system!

Then after lunch we headed to the Luau!

His teacher grew up in Hawaii, and worked at the Polynesian cultural center in collage.

She taught the kids how to get the water out of the coconut and how to break it open.

Pretty fun stuff :)

The kids performed a few songs for us, which was adorable!

A little girl in his class take Tahitian dancing lessons, and she was so cute to do a little performance.

It was a fun time.

And Porter is so shy!!!!!!

I guess I didn't really realize how he was in the classroom.

But he is quiet and polite (only one looking at the teacher most of the time)....and super cute, of course!

And dad got to come with us.....so that was cool too.

His teacher had the kids say what they wanted to be when they grew up....

Port said he wanted to be a Firefighter, like his daddy :)

Melt my heart..... <3 p="">

*****

Then it was back home and back to yard work until we left to go get Elsie for PT.

Today was the day she was going to do the zip-line, because Daddy was gonna come :)

We left Port with Madi, and Cassi rode the bus home.

Elsie was a rock star at Katie's!!!!

I didn't realize she would already have PT at school today.

So she started out tired!

But she rocked it for daddy!

She worked so hard!!!!!

She got dad to do things too....like the rock wall :)

She told him where he had to go, and he did.

Elsie was the first kid to ever transverse the whole wall (with help of course), and then Dad did it after her!

Fun stuff!

And then at the end of the PT, it was time to try it out....

And she did it!

YAY!!!!

It was so fun watching her!

She ended up doing it 4 times!

The video I have is of her on her 4th time, holding on all on her own, without help!

Like I said, ROCK STAR!!!!

I love that girl.

She is gonna be so sore tomorrow, I know that for sure.....

She just worked and worked and worked!

Then we got some dinner on the way home.

The rest of the kids had been playing out in the water, so they had fun.

We are all going to bed worn out tonight!!!
