The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

Day 24: My Wife's Organizational System

Posted by: Cris

I realized today while attempting to put the girls laundry away that I have absolutely no idea how my wife organized their closet when she unpacked all their clothes. I mean, it's not like there is a spot for shorts and a spot for pants and a spot for short sleeve shirts and a spot for long sleeve shirts, etc. There are 2 different shelves with jeans on them and shirts on several different shelves.

So, before anyone says anything about it, don't be surprised if you notice the girls on the blog wearing one of about 4 or 5 outfits in rotation. It's just easier to pull them straight out of the laundry basket and put them back on them than try to navigate their closet. Don't worry, they are wearing clean clothes - well, probably 90% of the time (okay, maybe 80%).

Anyways, other than trying to decipher that organizational system, the day was pretty good...

At low tide this morning, the reef is very visible - super cool looking. After bath, Juneau wanted to play around for awhile in just her diaper. She had a great time building a tower / fort out of the couch cushions.


The best developing news is that Nova has finally regained her interest in using the potty. The only problem is that unlike Juneau who refuses to go by herself and always wants help, Nova demands to "do it by self" and won't even allow the door to the bathroom to be open.
Sometimes, she decides to show a little flair while using the potty:

Tonight, we made our weekly trip to the Naval Exchange to do our grocery shopping. Our weekly schedule must have gotten pretty predictable because on the way there, Juneau said "Can we go eat at that Taco Bell that has a grocery store?"

Nova loves some Taco Bell rice and beans

The full moon over the ocean has been awesome the last couple nights - now if I could only figure out the right camera settings to perfectly capture the scene...as you can see from this picture, I'm still working on it.
