Chris called a couple of hours ago to let me know he made it to LA alright. Of course I had to put his lil buddy on the phone. Jonathan loves the phone. He pretend-talks on my cell phone everyday then he hands it over to me when he's done while saying 'here'. While talking to Chris all he kept saying was 'hi', what sounded like 'hello', and a bunch of mumbling sounds some mixed with laughter. Then of course when you get a phone call from your eldest son, you get complaining. There was a total of 4 flights; the first with most of the chaperones, the rest with the kids and the hula halau that will be performing with them. Anyway, the complaint was that he'll be up way into the early morning putting together the quads and doing some other stuff. That's what you gotta expect when you're section leader.

Anyway, I'm off to slumber. I have to get up early to do the last of the pies ... thank goodness.

Have a safe Holiday and drive safely!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Tonight was turkey night for us because Chris will be spending his Thanksgiving in Disneyland for his band trip. For whatever reason they will not have everyone together for dinner ... everybody is pretty much on their own for meals so I thought I'd cook turkey for him today.

Chris leaves for LA on Wednesday. Probably his last big trip during high school. He's been on three major trips. His Freshman year to NY for the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, his Sophomore year to Vancouver for Concert Band, and his Junior year to LA. He thinks for his Senior year they're just going to do the neighbor island thing. His next big trip won't be until right after graduation. I'm sending him to Korea (his pick) with some friends of his for a month as a graduation present.

Sianna has not been off the rock yet. Jonathan will probably get off before she ever does with his dad to visit grandma in Florida. She's not too thrilled about that. I'm trying to convince her that when she gets to high school, she'll get to go on at least two trips with the band. She's looking forward to that. She already knows that she has at least one trip to look forward to and that would be her graduation present ... anywhere she wants to go.

Getting hectic here so I'm off ...
