Mommy Moments: New Achievement

This morning my youngest son Jeon made his greatest achievement so far. He was able to find a way to fix his bike with damage seat.

the damaged bike

     I was busy doing my job and he approached me and was looking for the scotch tape. He told me that he    found the seat of his bike but something needs to be fixed.

            

I had to help Jeon in cutting the scotch tape because he is still not allowed to use the scissors.

He is almost done fixing his bike, and he looks very determined to do it.

Wow! He did it! My little boy was able to fix his bike seat :)

The little boy's smile is priceless! I am proud of my son's achievement.

Mommy Moments: Our Christmas Tree

My boys were excited about Christmas and they have been telling me to set up the Christmas as early as November. But too bad Mom and Dad were too busy ; finally we had the chance to set up the tree first weekend of December. They had fun helping out; most especially my youngest son.

No beautifully wrapped gifts yet under the Christmas tree; but for me, these three little boys are God's best gifts (although I wish they were still babies). Looking forward to Christmas 2010 in our new home.

Kids Adore This Bee

All of my three boys loved Jollibee at one point in their lives. Now my youngest son Jeon adores this happy dancing bee.

I have never been fascinated on how Jollibee perform during birthday parties. But with this one, I am definitely awed. The person inside that mascot was a real performer. Imagine being able to dance with such grace and enthusiasm while wearing that heavy costume. He or she must have been sweating all over after this performance. It was really great, I wish I had the chance to know who is the person inside that Jollibee costume. That person deserves a congratulations too.

Family That Prays Together

Just recently, my husband and I decided that every night we should pray together with our children. My hubby leads the prayer and me and the kids follow. I think this is a good way to teach children regarding faith in God. It is also the best way to show our children that prayer is important in our lives and that God will always answer our prayers but in His own time.f
My youngest son, who is only four years old is very excited about Christmas and his Christmas gift wish is part of our prayers too. He wish for Jesus to tell Santa Claus that he is a good boy and that Jesus should remind Santa Claus about his gift this Christmas.

Saturday Sightings #02: Our Little Community

My Saturday Sighting is our simple community. This is our small community plaza and church. Our place is Xevera Bacolor Pampanga (owned by the controversial Globe Asiatique). Our small community has its own church, school and commercial area. This is where we spend lazy afternoon. The kids would just run around and enjoy the fresh air.

Mommy Moments: Favorite Color

This week's Mommy Moment's theme is all about kids' favorite color. Since I have three boys, I thank God that none of them like pink (whew!).

My eldest child Jet's favorite color is blue, since among his siblings he possess the not-so-fair color (Pinoy na Pinoy), we are having a hard time looking for the best color that will fit his skin tone. But then again, he favors blue

On the other hand, my middle child Gabby (my Golden Child - he has albinism) would fit any color. But amongst his favorite is orange and yellow. Most of his clothes are on the citrus shade.

My youngest son Jeon definitely love the green. His school uniform is green and he looks good in the shade of green.

Little boys clothes and stuff are not as exciting as the little girls. I am such a spoiler, I guess that's why God didn't give me a little girl; because it will be way too expensive to buy those cute girly stuff. I would definitely go out of budget most of the time. Have a great weekend.

Kids Enjoyed Our Anniversary Too

Since we live on our own, we have no choice but to bring along the kids wherever we go even during our wedding anniversary date. Last friday, 5th of November the kids were with us during our dinner date. In fact, they ordered their favorite dishes during our dinner.

Beef with Brocolli for Kuya Jet

Pork Sisig for Kuya Gabby

Pork Sinigang for our bunso Jeon

I thought that there would be a lot of leftovers after this dinner, but I was wrong! They were able to finish everything. Just look at these happy faces.

oops. sorry for the blurred photo (l-r: gab,jeon and jet)

MM: It Comes in All Shapes

The Mommy Moments theme for this week is shapes. I had a hard time looking for photos of my kids holding a particular shape in their hands. They would not want to pose for a new photo, (they are not fond of pictures) but I think these photos would do.

Kuya Gabby

My middle child Gabby, enjoying a peaceful ride in a rectangular shaped boat. This was taken last summer at my cousin's fish pond. They enjoyed their stay in that place, away from technology and closer to nature.

My bunso Jeon

He loves boxing, with or without those red boxing gloves. Definitely hyper-active and he enjoys rowdy games with his Kuya Jet and Kuya Gab. After a couple of minutes, you would hear someone screaming "Mommy!" it means somebody got hurt from the game. It's time to do the Mommy task of explaining things to them again.

Tips for Halloween Trick or Treat

Halloween Trick or Treat has become a much awaited event in our country. We have adopted the Western tradition of making Halloween a season of fun and excitement. Kids would wear different costumes not necessarily scary ones; then can wear their favorite super hero's outfit or they can fulfill their dream of becoming a little prince or princess. Here are some useful guidelines for parents with kids joining the Halloween Trick or Treat.

• Since children will be receiving treats from strangers, tell them not to eat their treats until they reach home.
• If your child is still a toddler but you want him or her to experience the fun of trick or treat; you should accompany your child or any adult to keep the child safe while outside your home.
• If your child is old enough to go out without any adult company, instruct your child and their friends to stay on well-lit areas and create a route so you would have an idea where they are.
• If you can provide a mobile phone to your child it would be much better, in case of emergency you would know how to reach them.
• Set time for the kids to return home, this will lessen your worry. If your children are not home by the time you told them to, you can call them on the phone.
• Most of all they should stay together as group and never go trick or treating alone.
