January Currently

What!! Already?? Farley has her January Currently already up and running.  I thought I would join in the fun before my family gets back from the beach and we begin our New Year's festivities.

So my kiddos got this new globe from grandma and it is really cool.  They are learning all kinds of facts about places all over the world.

You touch the globe with the pen and it tells you all about the city, country, etc...  It even has music from that region.  They have been playing the Egyptian music all day, lol!!

This toy might disappear into my classroom soon...

So this morning I got up early and decided it was time to hit the after Christmas sales and shop for myself.  I really need some new shirts.  I have plenty of jeans and scarves, but no cute tops to wear them with.  

I love shopping, but I love it when I am alone and have plenty of time to look at everything.  I do not like to be rushed.  Lets just say I was gone for 5 hours and was happy my girls were with their big sister who is here visiting from San Francisco. 

School starts on Thursday for us so I have two more days to procrastinate on my lesson plans, lol!!

My OLW is Balance.  I need to find time for all that I do and not let certain things...

ahem...blogging...surfing....pinterest.....facebook  get in the way of spending quality time with my family. 

I hope this New Years Eve is a fun and safe one for you!!  We always stay home.  My girls are still young and I don't like being out on the roads with so many people out partying.

 We will be up all night though.  Here in Hawaii the fireworks are insane!!  Seriously our neighborhood sounds like a war zone.  Hawaiians spend thousands of dollars on fireworks every year!!

It is super annoying, but luckily it happens only once a year.  They made fireworks illegal last year, but it didn't stop anyone.  They seriously go nonstop from dark until about 2 am!!  

You will all be celebrating the New Year before me, but I wish you the best and send lots of warm Hawaiian hugs and kisses your way!!
