Clash of the Kindergarteners

So as a good parent I decided to volunteer to chaperon Serene's class on a kindergarten field trip to the Moanalua Fire Station and then the Public Library. I thought too myself this would be too hard to keep an eye on 21 kids because there was the teacher plus another parent that would be with me. Can we say sooooooo under estimated myself and my ability too keep up physically with little 5 and 6 year olds. After the day was done I told myself and Ola that I found a new method of birth control...that's right ladies....if the desire to add just one more bundle of joy too your ohana....trying watching 20 plus kids on a field trip and see if that same desire is still there. All and all the firefighters gave a great fire safety demo and the librian gave a short and sweet storytime and puppet show. I think most of the time was spent transported and unloading.....talk about crazy......there were five K teachers and their classes consisted of 20 plus kids each!

E Komo Mai...

After updating and checking my various internet blogs like Myspace, facebook, bebo and youtube....I've decided to just create a family blog. Through my family blog I can post my montages, my thoughts, photos and video clips. I'm excited and hope I stick with it. I'm pretty sure I will.

So the updates on the ohana so far......

Bruce is on his THIRD year teaching as a SPED teacher for Aiea High School.....He's enrolled in the Arlise program and has too keep his sanity doing on-line college class and teach "hard-head" kids. He is still performing with Vaihi and just got back from a trip to Vegas playing the Ho'olaule'a in Henderson.....my friend and I got too tag along....was good fun!!!!

Angie...that's me.... has been balancing two part-time jobs. Because Bruce's teacher certification is vital too keeping employed with the DOE I've decided to take a break from school until he finishes his classes and graduates with his Masters and certification...this will hopefully happen in June '09.

I am working as a part-time tutor for Salt Lake Elementary tutoring Kindergarden. Now since both Grandma Tamale and the girls Smylyn and Serene are at the same school we all compact in one car thus saving millions on gas.....:( [gas has gone down now $3.85 reg]. I also work part-time dental assistanting for Dr. Ann at Koko Head Dental. Dr. Ann is Dr. Lia's best friend. For those of you who don't know Dr. Lia...she was my ex-employer of 6 yrs. She is also my friend and I miss her very much.

Smylyn and Serene are enjoying being kids!!!! During the summer we, as a family had adventures at partys, outings and Vaihi gigs. Now in school the girls are studying hard on the weekdays and partying on the weekends. They are both excited about halloween and constantly count the days if not hours till then.

Here in this picture.....the girls are shown "crashed" coming home from a vaihi gig.

We the "Naluai Bunch" have had a busy schedule this month with Bruce's 20th class reunion campout and that i'll be posting soon.

Till then....i'm signing out :)
