Carpet angels




Well, our home improvement projects are coming along nicely. Friday was D-day! (New carpet delivered) Jake was so excited once the carpet guy left. He immediately laid down on the floor and started rolling around, chanting "I love my new carpet, I love my new carpet!" Then he said, "Look Mom! I'm making carpet angels!" What a kid! Next he had to stand next to the newly painted brown wall and insisted that I take his picture. That boy keeps me in stitches!

The floors are all laid and now all we have to do is finish putting the baseboards back up, do a little touch up painting, which includes the the patched hole in the stairway from Jordan's butt, and then decide how to decorate. I think I'm going to have to enlist some help with that considering I don't have the faintest idea of what to do. After all that's done, it's on to the next project. Still trying to decide what that will be!

Okay, so this has nothing to do with carpet angels -- but is it bad to put a marshallese girl in hula classes?

Struggling in Pleasant Grove . . .

I say go for it!!! Brinlei took hula for a couple of years after she came home until the teacher quit teaching. I'm actually trying to find someone to teach Brinlei and Maleia. Almi's girls know how to hula and so does Rolanda!

Thanks! I just didn't know if it was a breach of ettiquette (that's clearly spelled wrong). I went to a class today for Emma, and left so down hearted. It was a community of polynesians, but not MY community. I was served cookies and not bobo rice :-(

Emma will love it though.

Hey Wendy, you guys should consider going to the RMI reunion this summer! It's at a park close to Jenny Gunnell's parents. Several families will be there, and we're bringing our island family on Friday. Should be a blast! We'll even include some bobo rice, just for you!!!
