Crazy busy

It's been a month or so since I updated and still don't have the time to do a good post but the last month has been full of adventure.
We went up to the North Shore one day with our friends Katie and Addy to see the
30ft. waves. On the way we were able to stop at a different beach and see the endangered monk seal and green sea turtle. They were both basking in the sun for the afternoon and some volunteers had them roped off so no one could get too close. The monk seal we saw was believed to be pregnant they told us. What a great day! Two endangered animals in one day! We've seen the turtles swimming near us but never out on the sand before. They are such beautiful and amazing animals.
This month is full of visitors (which we love and never tire of), so we'll be able to do all the fun "tourist" stuff with them. This weekend we'll be heading to Pearl Harbor and the PCC. The PCC we've been to but Pearl Harbor we havn't been able to spend much time at. We havn't had the chance to go out to any of the memorials yet so we are all looking forward to that.
The girls have been busy learning about the American Revolution- making crafts that go along with it and also starting a time line for our History lessons. We read how people used to think it was harmful to their health to bathe too often and only did so once every month. They were a little surprised about that, and I don't think Lilly thought it was too cool that they wore the same clothes day in and day out for lack of a good wardrobe. I'm sure she said a silent prayer of thanks that she was born in the days of malls and internet shopping.
Isabelle was so proud to be the first to finish her math book (she didn't realize it was the shortest), and we have been doing math work on the computer until she gets the next one.
One of the nice things about having visitors is that I call them my "student teachers" and make them teach our kids something. This week they will be learning about music from their Nana. Its such a nice break for them to have someone else teach them in a different style and about things that I wouldn't do justice to. Any "student teacher" volunteers?
