Boring Saturday

Dunno why I was still feeling so bored & restless though we had a swim in the morning at the country club, went to Civil Service Club for a walk in the afternoon and while the kids were having their afternoon nap, CQ and I managed to steal some private time window shopping at Jurong Point. ** Pixs taken at night before bedtime

Distance, Time & Money?

I might withdraw Jamie out from Zoo Phonics and enrol her into a Montessori Phonics enrichment class at the nearby country club behind our house so that we need not have to rush to class every Friday night via cab. Another plus point is that while waiting for Jamie, Jeremy and I can have a quick dip in the pool or I can workout at the gym. Isn't it great ?

Upgrading

I'm in the mist of clearing Jeremy's baby toys including his miniature toy cars. And these are the new Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars that I've bought at very good price for the children. They are just as excited as me!

Let's Drink Together

Nowadays Jeremy lies down on his own to drink milk. See both of them? So cute!

Then I asked again, " When will it be?" (here's the fun part).."2 years later." (me laughing like crazy liao !wahahaa!!!!)

These days..

I have been using all sorts of teaching materials I can find and think of for Jamie since I've reduced using activities books. Don't understand why she likes to draw balloons with a horizontal line across. Looks funny!

Seasonal Weather

Sunny, hot, humid, thunder, lightning & RAIN! What a day and spoilt my outdoor activity for the children, arrggghhhh!!!

Good Friday

Few days ago, I have been telling Jamie what's the meaning of Good Friday though I reckon she understands it fully. One of the things I said to her was, "Jesus died on the cross for us so that we will have eternal life in heaven" . Then she looked at me & said "But mama, I will cry if mama dies & I can't find mama." In that split seconds, I was so sad and I replied "But Jamie, you will see mama in heaven when you die eventually. Isn't it great? Do you want to know God ?" she nodded. I'm beginning to enjoy such moments wif her and having some deep thoughts conversations.

Easter Day Homework

Jamie was given home assignment from her school. The note says "We are learning about colors right now. Please help me to make a colorful egg shape card....I need to bring this back to schoold on Monday, 9 April. Thank You."

Reading Session

When Jeremy was much younger, all he could do was taking and throwing the board books out of the box! Now, I am so relieved to see him appreciating books much better.

Odd~Even Numbers

Jamie has improved alot in her reading. She can read most of the words and look at her coloring skills? I am impressed!

Mighty Saver #1

Jamie finally completed her 1st card (she was rewarded 1 star sticker for not fussing over washing hair)! So I brought along $20 (supposingly her own savings) to bank into her account and to redeem the free gift which is a big A4 book! Also collected the #2 card. Hmm, I shall start the #2 with another target for her to achieve :D

Surprise!

** shocking candles!!! hey not that I'm that old ok...just that the cake is small, lol! **

Bookfair

Today there's a mini bookfair at the Community Club and while Jamie was attending her ballet lesson, I managed to have a quick shopping spree and here's what I got! *I went back the 2nd round with Jeremy and this time, our maid even got some for her son, lol!!!*

A Day @ Home

While CQ was busy buzzing in his work room, we had alot of fun in the living hall. We played drum, fixed up a playhouse to hide n seek, did some hands-on playdough and Jamie did her usual cooking stuff. These already occupied the kids the entire morning before Jamie proceed to her ballet lesson at 2pm.

April's Fool Birthday

Ya that's my birthday. Strange thing is, I dun have the "birthday girl" mood and everything still goes on as normal. I told CQ not to stress over giving me any birthday surprises since he is already very tied up with work as well as preparation for his exam this coming week. We can alway celebrate after his exam anyway. So I made Jamie sang me a birthday song and she drew me this card for me! So sweet!
