We had our lunch, Jordan and I shared some char siu bao (Manapua) and rice cake, while Troy and Jalen had Korean food.

I love this shot I got of my cute hubby! :)

Jalen playing Super Mario Brothers…

Some ttv fun:

and Jalen shooting his own photos :)

these were in the window at the Kate Spade store:

Jalen on the Escalator and some mochi in a display at shirokiya.

for the red challenge: both of these shots were inside the Williams Sonoma Store. I was struck by the candy apple red finish and glass bowl!

and this i found utterly comical. would you really wear an apron with a pig on it? hee hee! this is a mannequin in the same store.

and on Sunday, we got to go to a FREE sneak peek on the Marine Base over in Kaneohe. I’ve had that note on a post-it for about a month now, reminding me.  After church on Sunday, we drove over to Kaneohe to get in with 850+ Harry Potter Fans and watch The Half Blood Prince.  We got our seats around noon and had a two hour wait.  No electronic devices allowed inside the theater. No cell phones, no ds, no cameras etc.  They even had a cell phone check, like a coat check, only crazier~!

the movie started at 2 and went for almost 3 hours. I will not spoil anything for anyone, I will just say, it was very nice and familiar. To see the faces of our favorite characters, a little more grown up, and wonderful adventure.  and I loved that they used some of the same music.  You see, we are the type of nerds to buy soundtracks from our favorites like star wars, indiana jones and harry potter and we listen on the ipod in the car. so when the music played in the movie, we all just grinned from ear to ear.  It was a great movie and I can’t wait to watch it again!

check out the cell phone/electronic device check after the movie:

and a blurry picture of the boys next to the signs:

before the movie, during the two hour wait, they did Harry Potter Trivia and Jalen answered a tough question (name the four houses and their mascots) and won mini golf and movie vouchers! I was so proud that he answered the question over the mic so well!

Today we went out shopping for school supplies, and I am so glad and proud and relieved to say, we’re done. We checked everything off the list, including and ukulele ;)  I have to say I was so proud of the boys for behaving so well (we’re all human and not always this lucky) while we ate our lunch, two older ladies came by and complimented the boys for being so well behaved. Yay for them making good choices!  we even celebrated with icees at target when the last bit was completed.

Next weekend I’m doing the Scott Kelby world wide photo walk, right here in Honolulu. Are you participating in your area?  I’d love to hear it. also are you participating in the red photo challenge? let me know!

I am going to figure out what’s for dinner now and I’ll check back with you lovelies later!

Love Love and blog you later!

Fabulous, right?! It’s taken me a few days, but I am so thrilled with my results!  These are 3 18×36 canvases that I painted in a carribean blue acrylic paint.  The clouds are all cut free hand out of felt, stuffed and stitched.  The red felt hearts are die cut out of a sizzix die and handstitched with aqua embroidery floss.  I am so happy every time I see the little hearts fluttering :)

and before I even started with the clouds, I had already hung these ornaments in the entry way to my scrap space… the pompoms make me smile! :) I also hung some in the kitchen, but those don’t have pompoms, that idea struck after they were already hung up…

It’s beginning to look a lot like valentines day, eh?  I did a hybrid version of the valentine’s candy box this year (since there were twice as many to make) and posted the tutorial over at Miss Mint’s Blog.  Leave a comment or retweet it if you like it! :)

I’ll be celebrating my 2 year blogiversary on Feb 14!  I am so glad I jumped on the blogging band wagon, I have gained so much out of the whole experience!  I hope you are all having a great day and I can’t wait to come back and blog again. :)

love-love, Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
