4 Keiki, 4 Times the Fun

This past week, we had the pleasure of having watching our nieces, Marley & Oakley, while their parents went on a Cali trip!  Though it got crazy at times, as naturally it would with two 5-year olds and two 2-year olds, we had a blast! Here are some things they did: 

Ate sugar cookies: 

SLEPT: 

(Or got up early to watch cartoons)

Played dress-up (a lot... Shoulda taken more pics!!):

(Complete with Princess Jasmine hairdos):

Played Tea Party with Aunty Stac:

Bought red lipstick and stick-on nails, and did self-makeovers: 

Played with just about every toy in Mateo's room (hahah):

Ate Gogurts: 

Each morning, I let the girls choose any hairstyle off Pinterest (haha), and did it to their hair. This was Marley's favorite part about getting ready each day lol. AND they wanted pictures, haha:

In addition to all of this, we went to the Burger King and played in the jungle gym (ok, Keaka didn't- pretty sure she's afraid of heights or something LOL), played with Rajah (our dog), went to church, went to Settlers park, went shopping, learned a hula, ate at El Gallo Giro, watched Frozen, and played. A lot. I really wish I had been better at taking pictures of everything else that went on!! Next time! ;) 

Some funny things & observations: 

-Conversation between Aunty Stac & kids:

Me: "who likes ice cream?"

All kids: "MEEEEEE!!!"

Me: "who likes chocolate ice cream?" 

All kids: "MEEEEEE!!!"

Me: "Who likes vanilla ice cream?"

All kids: "MEEEEEE!!"

Marley: "Well... Actually, vanilla ice cream just tastes like.... Like.... COLD."

-How to Pronounce "Big Al's" According to 5 Year Olds:

Keaka: "Big isles"

Marley: "Big owls"

-Oakley: (After singing Happy Birthday to herself)- "Happy Birthday to Oakies!! ...NOOOOO! My mama took by birthday hat!"

-Taking Four Kids out in public was not nearly as crazy as I thought it would be!  In fact, it wasn't bad at all! 

-Listening to the kids (who were watching Frozen), totally BELT OUT "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman" and "Let it Go." Pretty priceless moments right there. :) 

Needless to say, we had so much fun, and miss having those two girls around!!  Mateo keeps walking around the house saying, "Oak, where are youuuuu??" Haha. Can't wait to see them again!
