We had a rainy day on tuesday and we did a bunch of Thanksgiving crafts. Erik even got into it a little bit. I have to admit, I was sad when it stopped raining and was hot again in the afternoon.

Tutu and Grandpa arrived yesterday afternoon, but left this morning for a craft show in Hilo. They will return on Sunday morning. I told Kalia that they were coming, but I kept saying, "Tutu and Grandpa are coming, but then they are leaving for two days..." just so she wouldn't be upset when they left. But I guess she really didn't understand that they were coming. When they came in the door, she was sooooo excited. She was so excited and running around and showing them everything in her room. She was really hyper, bouncing off the walls for a long time. This morning they left before she woke up and she went into their room and just looked around, I told her they would be back in two days and she just got really quiet. We had our moms group at the beach today to distract her.

Oh, a couple of phrases that Kalia has been saying that she definitely picked up from Erik: "That's crazy!" and "Oh, come on". She uses the second one after I tell her that something was the last time, last one, time to go etc. and then she says "oh, come on mommy".

This baby has been extremely low, I keep trying to move her up. I think I'm going to spend the next two months in the bathroom. We've been trying ouy names for the baby on Kalia, but she wants to name the baby "kalia".

Anyway, just getting ready for a week with Tutu and Grandpa. Aunty Lo, Uncle Vere and the kids arrive on wednesday night. We'll have a full house for Thanksgiving!
