Sunday marked the seventh day in my week long project. It was a great week to document with a homecoming and so many exciting and normal events. I only wish I didn’t have a cold because my pictures really were lacking the last few days. I am sad that I missed Church on Sunday because it really is a special part of the week to re-energize and to prepare to go back into the world. Every first Sunday of the Month the church hosts breakfast and the Samoan Congregation meets with the English congregation for Communion. Troy had duty on Saturday which meant he had to go to the ship on Saturday and sleep over on the ship and came home on Sunday. I unloaded the dishes he washed early on Saturday…

improvised cinnamon rolls- mini biscuits sprayed with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon and splenda and baked. When done, leftover cream cheese frosting from Monday's carrot cupcakes microwaved and drizzled over the treat!

Jordan requested sweet sweet pickles for dinner. and white with bread. I knew (but Troy didn't) that meant tuna sandwiches and sweet pickles. How did I accidentally buy a can of tuna packed in vegetable oil? Gross. does anyone actually buy that intentionally?! Luckily we had one packed in water. Jalen and I had yes, more cup o noodles.
Last night when Troy opened the last can of tuna, I started my new grocery list. Tuna, Mayonnaise…. and Jordan came over to ask what I was writing. I say it’s a grocery list. We need these things from the store: Tuna and Mayonnaise. What else do we need Jordan? He says,”Fruit Rolla (fruit rollups)” I had to giggle and I added it to the list. I don’t usually buy fruit snacks and fruit rollups because they are bad for their teeth and so sticky and full of artificial dyes and other things. Yes I consume artificial colors and sweeteners in my own food and drink, but try not to pass that on to the little ones. anyway. when he asks for items we don’t have i usually say, sorry we don’t have any, we’ll have to get some from the store. this is why I cracked up so hard when he wanted it added to the list.

Since I did not leave the house since Friday… I missed a chance to snap a shot of the gas station. Troy txted me to say 3.99 gas on saturday when he went to work. I got this shot today to add to the series.
also from today. we planned to go to see wall-e out at the Kapolei theaters at noon today, but got out on the free way and there must’ve been an accident or construction or something. traffic was bad, so we got off and hit Igor at Pearl Highlands movie theater instead. Another good choice. It cost way more than the $1 theater. This shot was the parking lot at the theater…
We’re back at home this afternoon and Troy has taken Jordan up to a nap and Jalen is working on a few way over due thank you notes. I hope I can warm up some coffee and get some scrap going on…
For any of you PS users… where does the wow plastic layer effect come from? Does it come with the program? I tried to google it, but got a bunch of ridiculous subjects like ‘wow plastic surgery costs a lot’… anyway, I was playing in PSE last night and I accidentally erased the clear plastic effect. the best one of all. I didn’t know the little trash can icon deleted the effect from the pallette. I thought it removed the effect from the item. ugh. I tried to “repair” my pse installation and that was another FAIL. lame-y lamington. anyway, I really am going to get my scrap on now. by the way, my boys are out of school this week for fall break, can you believe it? Year round school earns you weird vacation days. Hope you’re all doing well. Love love and blog you later!
Joscie, rhymes with bossy.























































I’m enjoying seeing the documentation of your week. Can’t wait to see the album as you complete it. October 6th is way early for Christmas decorations. I wonder if it won’t be to long until we see some here.

Glad to see you’re feeling a little better! Yes, Christmas decorations are in FULL FORCE here! Year ’round school? Seriously? WOW, wish my kids did. My DS admitted to going 4 10 hrs days just to have Fridays off!! I wish they did go yr round, then I could deal with “odd” times off instead of 3 mos in the summer!!!!
Guess who came to visit me yesterday? YOU! LOL I wanted to let you know you arrived! I hope you are ready for KS and some serious scrap shopping!
Fun photos…I’m doing this too…I just have to print my photos and get started!

Hey Joscie,
