The prize

Joshua's kindergarten class went to the aquarium today and they played Aquarium bingo, where the students had to try and find all the creatures on their card. Joshua and his partner were the only ones who found all their creatures, so I asked him if they got a prize.
"No," he said.
"I'll give you a prize then."
He looked at me quizzically, "Love?"
I laughed, "No, I'll give you a special treat after you finish your growing food for dinner--some popcorn!"

Joshua has been thrilled to find a fire station close to our home in Kailua.  Here he is waiting for an emergency.

The beach has been a wonderful place for the kids, well, I guess all of us.

Dot com generation and Lego lessons

Last night at dinner, we were talking about snow plows, and I asked Joshua why some snow plows have brushes and others have shovels. He said, "I don't know dad. Let's google snowplow dot com and find out!"

Today, our babysitter heard Joshua saying, "Samuel come here. I'm going to give you a Lego lesson!"
