Sulk @ 2 y.o.

I have not been scrapping on my own for a long long time except attending class. ( 3 layouts not completed yet too : P)

Look at the mess I have to make all over the place before I can complete this layout in the wee wee hours (1-3 am)

Sleeping in Yoga position

Sleeping in Yoga position

Aden is down with flu and cough. It is too difficult to adminster medicine for the teachers so we decided not to torture them.

Aden gets his 4 types of medication in am, this is how drowsy he got and check out his yoga position in sleeping mode.

一百分 !

一百分!

When I fetched Charmaine from sil's place yesterday evening, she just could not wait but exclaimed that " My Tingxie got 一百分 ! "

She has worked hard for many tests and alway got penalized for small mistakes. But finally she made it this round for the 6th test.

Well done , my girl. Keep it up!

Care Giving 1

Care Giving 1

If anything happens to a mummy, her greatest worry would be the care giving of her kids.

Always wanted to make a note down so there is a reference.

Morning Errand

Magic clean all rooms and clean table top.

Transfer water from airpot to jug. Then boil water in airpot.

Transferring the laundry from washing machine to dryer ( Uniforms only 2 sets so daily wash to ensure there are clean ones for next day)

Iron uniforms and office wear for all in the morning for the day.

Check Charmaine's bag according to timetable. Prepare snack for her recess and water bottle. Get ready breakfast for Charmaine.

Pack Aden's bag - 6 diaper, 2 sets of clothes, 1 pyjamas, 1 towel and 1 plastic bag , 1 milk bottle, 2 milk dispensar filled with milk powder for 8 oz and water bottle.

Time keeping - 5.45 am wake up Charmaine, send her to wash up, monitor her to finish breakfast by 6.05 am, change into uniform and 6.10 am get out of house to wait for school bus coming at 6.15 am.

6.45 am wake up Aden, wash up and give him morning feed while changing his uniform. Get ready to go to work at 7 am

This is my daily morning chore on weekday morning.

Oh no , 6.05 am

Oh no , 6.05 am

You cannot imagine how panic I was when I woke up at 6.05 am today. Usually 6.05 Charmaine has finished her breakie and changing into her uniform so we would get out of the house at 6.10 to wait for the bus coming at 6.15

So today daddy gotta to help a bit. Within 5 mins, while he is waking Charmaine, pushed her to wash up and then changed into uniform, while mummy got ready the breakfast and packed snack for her recess.

Phew we got out by 6.12 am and the bus came at 6.20 am today. Lucky never miss the bus.

Sorry Charmaine, I wont wake up late again.

Best Girlfriends

Best Girlfriends

It has been a long time since I last scrap.

Finally submitted for MR#6. Criteria : Cut out flowers from pp, buttons, scallop edged pp.

Must be fair so this layout is for Charmaine and her best friend from NYPS. Thanks Hannah for giving Charmaine positive influence and support.

Kiddy Bento on Good Friday

Kiddy Bento on Good Friday

Aden and Charmaine has been looking forward to welcoming Aidan to our house till their neck long long liao.

So mummy decided to use her many many tools to do bento box for the kids. Hmm, mummy need to work hard on the colour coordination. A bit dull looking hor.

Key Punch Line of the Day (8 Apr 09)

Key Punch Line of the Day (8 Apr 09)

There is never a day which is peaceful as our lil rascals will fight even on the smallest disagreement.

And Aden always will cry like a baby and this is what Charmaine has to say last night :

" Cry , cry, cry, everything also cry. I have a didi that is like a mei mei."

My gal will give in to her didi unwillingly everytime and will pass off such remarks. This is so typical of Charmaine Xiao Jie

" Gold in the house"

"Gold in the House"

A property agent was going to bring someone to view our house last night. As usual on a weekday, our house is not quite "pleasant looking" with kids stuff all over the place.

So within 30 mins we were in mad rush to try to clean up a bit.

While we were busy, Aden was busy with his "business" too. Suddenly, I heard daddy shouted loudly. We din realised his diaper has overflown and out came the little "gold" on the floor.

Another mad rush started. One have to clean the floor and the other have to clean up the son and washed the soiled pants.

Well, remember when Aden was a few days old, daddy got his poo while changing and he strike 4D. So today is Wednesday , will we be second time lucky ?

New face of our house

"New face" of our House

No renovation done. Just decluttering lah. But realli felt good with the space.

Trying to reinstate that spacious feeling we first had 9 years ago when we first stepped into this house.

Let's work harder.

Bye Bye Playhouse

Bye Bye Playhouse

Last Sat was a pretty sad day for Charmaine. She has to say bye bye to her playhouse as part of mummy's decluttering project.

Aden probably din realised it is not coming back and was helping us move the playhouse out to the uncle who came to collect it.

Thank you Playhouse, you have brought lots of joy to our 2 precious kids and all the children who has visited our house.

Aden's first day with Yuquan

Aden's first day with Yuquan

Aden has been refusing to try out the new school uniform but surprisingly he willing changed into it this morning.

Of course he has his new Mack to bring along, new Lightning Mcqueen Disney Cars bag which he gladly did a parade at home with it and even posed with the bag at home.

He is realli a Disney Cars Freak!!! Of course a drama is expected in school today. He cried very loudly when I have to go at 8.20 am. I have confidence that he will be fine as his buddy Eugene is also joining him at the new place today.

My spy aka Eugene's mummy updated me at 9.40 am. " He was ok and no crying when we arrived this morning at8.45 am. He felt happy and safe when seeing both of us. Now they are enjoying the lesson so I left the centre."

So relieved to see this sms. So hope tomorrow he will be fine too.

Last day with Cherie Hearts

Last day with Cherie Hearts

So sad. Aden's last day with Cherie Hearts on 31 Mar 2009. This little fella maybe realli knew what is last day and could not bear to leave his teachers and friends.

He refused to say bye or hug them. This is usually his way of showing his sadness because he always refused to say bye to his babysitter each time they have to part.

Aden even blocked the door and refused to let others go. Not cooperative in taking photos and has to be con into it.
