Approximately every other time I go grocery shopping I buy a jar of peanut butter. I'm so worried that we'll run out and I keep forgetting that we have 18 jars at home.
This is exactly how hoarders start out.

We're back!
Goldie rode topless on the airplane from takeoff until landing, when I pinned her down and forced her jammies on her.
Other than that, things are pretty much back to normal:

Ko'Olina means yum in Hawaiian
Anyone who knows me knows I love food.
Imagine my delight when my dad's contact at our hotel Cindy, who is the hotel supervisor, mentions she likes to bake. After an in depth discussion of cake crumb, frosting, and baking techniques I asked where I'd be able to pick up a good cake for Clay's birthday. She mentioned a few places, none of them near our hotel.
Fast Forward to yesterday when Cindy calls and says on her day off she baked Clay a red velvet cake and cupcakes. I'll just need to pick them up at the front desk.
So, today I went to the front desk and picked up a lovely homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, cupcakes, homemade caramel apples and a handmade flower lei that is a beautiful and intricate creation.
I ask you, does this often happen at hotels? No place I've ever stayed. http://www.koolina.com
And it was all so yummy!

What we've learned thus far on our trip to Hawaii
Sunscreen and diaper rash cream are not interchangeable.
A full-sized bed isn't big enough for one grown up and two toddlers.
Goldie doesn't seem to mind falling out of bed. (Two falls and not one tear.)
Goldie is going to be a hula dancer when she's big.
George has temporarily shelved his plans of being a police officer in favor of becoming a fire dancer.
Traveling with three kids is not so impressive (we realized after meeting a couple today traveling with seven kids under 12).
Clay is old. He turns 46 today! When I met him he was so young...
A mini van isn't so bad once you get used to it.
Blue shaved ice makes green poops.
A gecko can ride on the hood of a Kia minivan for miles -- even on the freeway!
Hotels are excellent for potty training. Better their floor than mine.
Goldie wants long, straight black hair. Sorry, Goldie.

Airplane Ride
This just in, if you want to kill time on an airplane give your toddler washable Crayola markers and let her color half her body. Then, when the flight attendant comes around with warm towels having her wash off all the marker is a whole other project/time killer.
This is how Goldie spent a good 40 minutes of our flight to Hawaii yesterday. Perfect! Except that the other five hours and 20 minutes she spent fussing, singing loudly and annoying others around her.
She would like to offer a public apology to all those aboard Hawaiian Airlines flight 21 from Seattle to Honolulu.
Halloween pictures and update later when the kids are napping. Gotta go swimming!
