happenings

two mermaids
found on kapalua bay
labor day

maya in a hole

kalia dutifully getting
water to fill the hole

and pouring it on her sister,
this is fun.

Kalia & her 3rd grade reading buddy, Ariana

waiting for the bell to ring,
kalia carrying maya

kalia wanted to do a craft this weekend,
so we painted color on paper,
i was going for fall colors, kalia did rainbow

then cut out leaves for these fall mobiles

So Erik taught Kalia a joke the other night. She's really into jokes right now, especially since there has been new ones on the popcicle sticks. Well, she's not particularly good at making up her own, but she likes to try.

This was Kalia's new joke:
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Lion
Lion Who?
Roar

This is how Erik changed it:
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Lion
Lion who?
I'm not lying, are you calling me a liar?

So you can imagine my surprise when I came into Kalia's room after putting Maya down and she said, "I have a new joke for you"

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Lion
Lion who?
You calling me a liar? (with full attitude)

Ok, but I have to admit, it's made me laugh several times now, after the fact. She is NOT allowed to tell that one at school.

Last night before I put maya down, they were fighting over a book and to appease maya I told her I would tell her an extra story in bed. So I told her the story of a little girl named Maya, but basically it was the same story as Goldilocks and she went into the forest and then into the three bears house. Anyway, when we got to the whole eating all baby bears porridge and breaking baby bears bed, she stopped me and told me how it really went. Maya unlike Goldilocks did not eat all of baby bears porridge (because he was soooo cute), she left some for him and then after she accidentally broke his chair then she fixed it and cleaned up the mess and then they had a playdate. then end. Much better version.
