I spent a good part of the holiday weekend in the doghouse, one which I probably won’t dig myself out of until I produce another son for Noel. After spending a few days with my Mom, I came home and thought I had washed everything thoroughly for stray cat hair. Well, I missed a few things. The boys got into an infected bag and a blanket late last week and they threw the blanket around the living room and Noel’s allergies blew up on him. I also didn’t wash Jacob’s car seat cover - things got worse when the four of us got in the car together.
Noel was forced into the garage on Monday, the only place he could breathe, and ended up spending most of the day cleaning it. I worked on loads and loads of laundry, and still have a lot of cleaning to do today. I did manage to make it to a public appearance by Bryan Clay, gold-medal winning Decathlete, who spoke on the Marine Corps Base at Kaneohe. He inspired the crowd with his story of growing up a troubled kid in Kaneohe and provided inside stories to his Olympic career. I think he did anyway. I showed up just as the crowd was beginning to leave the building and missed everything. He was still signing autographs, so I took a free trading card and had him sign it. In other sports news, a team from Hawaii won the Little League World Series just over a week ago, and the island celebrated by having a parade run through Waikiki last night. We usually opt out of those things as traffic is a nightmare when they close Kalakaua, but it was fun to see it on the news.

Other highlights were having an early breakfast with friends who were honeymooning here, and then switching gears and spending a relaxing Sunday evening at the beach in Waianae with folks who were renting cabins. Back to normal today as Robbie headed off to school and Noel headed downtown to work.

Poor Noel. At least the garage got cleaned ? Nice autograph! - D
Cary's nephew was the pitcher for the little league team that won. Stephen and I were in the Bay Area [the same weekend you were and you didn't even call :(] and we saw part of the game w/ Hawaii losing. But Pauline and I left to get our hair and nails done for the reunion so we left thinking they were going to lose.
