I know it is only August. But Kmart already had Halloween on display. The boys love looking at all the macabre offerings and creeping each other out...

I love Halloween! How come they never had such cool stuff when I was a kid? All we had were cardboard skeletons, witches and black cats....skull candles...plastic masks and crummy costumes...and those black and orange crepe streamers...
Me too! And yeah. We had a pretty junky selection of scaraphernalia...hahaha...I think I just coined a new term...I googled it and nothing came up...nothing! I will be rich!
We never celebrated Halloween in England when I was growing up. They do now I think. My son loved Halloween when he was little and still does. Rememebr those trips to K-Mart to look at all the costumes. Thanks for bringing back all those good memories.
Mahalo for sharing Denise! I would imagine England would have some great spooky homes for haunted houses... :) That is the great thing about having two little boys...I can relive my childhood over and over and over and over and over... :)
Today was a Beautiful morning spent at Kamehameha Schools Midkiff Library for the World History Interfaith Conference with the Sophomore class. The students rotated to different stations to hear different religious leaders speak about their personal Faith. Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Baha'i Faith were all represented today. I was Blessed to have been able to participate in all five stations and listen to the expressions of Passion and Spirituality. Before we commenced, I found myself standing next to a large five-foot by four-foot original painting by the late Master Artist Herb Kane of the Battle of the Nu'uanu Pali. I had always seen the smaller versions but to see the detail up close was awe inspiring and humbling. Herb's research and 'ike were astounding. I absorbed every detail. The faces. The mahiole. The ihe, newa and leiomano weapons. The desperate faces plunging over the cliff in terror. I thought about my namesake, Keawe-Ka'iana-...
Quietly Reflecting Tonight upon all of the Beautiful, Kind, Caring, Inspiring, Strong, Fearless, Compassionate and Incredible Souls sharing this Life Journey with me on this revolving mass of Divine Earthen Beauty, supporting so much Precious Diverse Life, hurling through Infinite Space, but a tiny speck amidst the vast Expanse of the inconceivable incomprehensible Universe. What a Humbling Miraculous Blessing. Love Truly Rules the Day...and Night...
My boys thought these were potatoes and asked me why they were all stuck together. I explained to them that they were Hasu, also known as Lotus Root. And that they were $2.28 a pound. Regularly $3.49 a pound. And that they were used for cooking and you could eat them. And they were brown. And a root. And a Lotus root. Oops, said that already. Actually I knew nothing about them but I read the sign and bluffed as much as I could because as a Daddy, you want your kids to think you know about everything in the world so they feel safe and secure. The unknown can be frightening...
