I guess this goes along with moving but I cannot find our cord to download the pics off of our camara so when I find that I will put up lots of pictures! For now I just have a fun story that my mom tells me that I need to write down so that I don't forget it.
So for the first few nights we stayed at a hotel. During this time I was franticly trying to find a place for us to rent. We eventually found a condo on the 32nd floor of a building in downtown honolulu. This building is both condo's and a hotel and we just happened to be staying on the same floor just four rooms over before we found this place. Currently we are borrowing one of the company trucks until our 4runner arrives from california so I don't have a car during the day which I actually enjoy. It has been fun walking around with maddie and getting to know the area.
On the last night of our hotel stay I realized that we had to check out at noon and Kaulana would be at work until 7 so we put all of our luggage in the back of the truck and Kaulana took it to work with him. So at noon Maddie and I headed out with the stroller and the rest of our stuff and I was definately looking like a crazy bag lady. We had 5 hours of time to kill until we could move into our new place so We headed to the beach, the mall, and just kinda wandered around Honolulu. This might sound great but it was quite rough with a 15 month old baby who didn't want to sleep in her stroller and actually wouldn't even stay sitting in it.
Once we got to the mall Maddie squirmed until I finally took her out and she just wandered around the stores pushing her stroller with me ( her new favorite game) and saying "Oooo" to all the different clothes and pulling on them. Which I let her do just so that it would entertain her. Then we headed to the beach. It was a super windy day so the beach was a little rough for maddie who just getting pelted with the sand when the big gusts of wind would blow by. It was getting closer to 5 so we started heading back to our place.
On the walk back Maddie started freaking out and would not stay in her stroller so we stopped at these adorable little shops to look around and let her wander around a bit. After a while I decided to just put her in the stroller and eventually she would stop crying... well I was wrong... she screamed and wiggled her way out of the straps on her stroller so I tryed to take her out and with the extra weight on the back of the stroller it started to fall back. Here I am on the side of a busy road with my daughter squirming out of my hands and my foot trying to hold down the front of the stroller. I looked crazy. I then proceeded to walk a half a mile with maddie in one arm and pushing the stroller with the other hand. Finally we took a break and maddie was so fussy... she let me know that she wanted her beach chair to sit on, then reached for her blanket, and then noticed the toothbrush in my purse(remember we were homeless for the day) so here she is finally relaxed in the park looking hilarious. She eventually agreed to get back into the stroller and instantly fell asleep. What a day!!! But I am pleased to say that life is a lot more regular now that we are moved into our little place.
Sorry it was so long but I just needed to get that story down so that I can eventually laugh about it.
