achi's report card
This is Gwen Mari's report card for the 1st quarter. I am happy with the results -- though I expected more based on how I see her performance :p As a whole, I am contented with how she did -- except for her MATH. I know that she is better in Math because she loves it and she can answer the questions on the book without too much help.
And in writing - I knew she'll get lower grade.
All in all - she is VERY GOOD. She is the youngest in class and yet she is able to cope with the activities.
I am so proud of you sweetheart!!! <3 <3 <3
the longest time
This is the longest time that I wasn't able to give time to my blog. I so miss writing about the kids.
For the record, the last time I published an entry was 79 days ago... that is more than 2 months. In span of that days, here are the things that I remember that I should write about.
* achi's report card and exam results
* siobe's teeth 
* mig's development
* birthday preparations
* family weekends
* online sale
* daily conversations
and more ---
dogs
The girls wanted a dog for a pet... and I said NO. I think this is not yet the time for us to have any other pet aside from our fish. Having a pet is another responsibility and they are still too young to have another responsibility.
Today they saw a dog inside the church. This is a shitzhu and they kept looking at it. Stefi even attempted to hold her but I was quick to grab her hand. I think she was frustrated but I told her that the dog might bite her.
It is not that I am against dogs but if ever we will have a pet dog in the future, I want them to personally take care of it. If they wanted to bathe her, dress her or even let her have a camelbak for dogs, I won't argue with them. As long as they do it themselves and not ask me or any househelp to take the responsibility 
family picture
We are running out of printed family pictures. I didn't appreciate having our pictures printed before but I am thankful that we had photo booths on several occasions. Since achi went to school, she already brought 3 or 4 family pictures to school. Last Saturday, they were again asked to bring another family picture that they will use for their arts class.
As I said, thanks to photo booths for the printed pictures... or else, I would have ask her to bring our family picture when she was an only child. It's time to buy ink for the printer for assignments like these. We do have a number of family pictures but all are still on the memory card and saved on the computer's hard drive.
mickey mouse
Official theme for Miggy's birthday is Mickey Mouse (not necessarily, Clubhouse). The first one was Blues Clues but as days gone by, we saw how fascinated he was with Mickey so we thought that he might appreciate it more if we use it as his theme.
Now that we have something to base everything with, it is now easier to make choices. I decided that we have something inexpensive and yet useful for his souvenir. I had already started coordinating with the supplier and I need to start finalizing my list. Initial orders require 30 pieces so I must at least have 25 kids to give the souvenir.
Then the lootbags... I think it will be too much to have one more but if I can find a sponsor then I'll go for it. Now that I often go to Divi, it would not cost me too much... or I can just avail of the things for the lootbags online. There's the Online Candy shop as well as the online party needs supplier.
Then the costumes... this is more for us, the other family members. I'm thinking of a red shirt with black prints of our names. I'll see about this...
sundays
Sunday is usually our favorite day of the week. This is the day when we get the chance to go out and bond as family. This day starts by attending the mass (we usually go for the 1030 am schedule) then eating out and going to the grocery then we head home. Lately we are not able to do these because of the rainy weather. The kids have been sickly too so we opted not to go out when the rain starts pouring. But today is an exception. Even if Boxxie won't start and even if the rain would occasionally pour, we went to church. We have been absent for so long that another week would make us weak And I am glad that we pursued. On our way to church, the rain stopped. It only poured again when we were already back home.
And I am glad that we pursued. On our way to church, the rain stopped. It only poured again when we were already back home. To God be the Glory. May this week be a fruitful one.
science
There are only 4 subjects for the Nursery Class. These are Values, Math, Reading and Science. There's also Arts on Fridays but I think its not that major at all For now, I think Gwen Mari has fascination for Science and Reading. She can easily grasps the lesson under these subjects when she is asked.

They had already started learning about the different senses. As for her assignment today, they were already introduced to the sense of smell. Associated with it are bad and pleasant smell. Then next meeting, they'll learn about the sense of taste. I wonder if they will also be introduced with the simple machines like lever and pulleys and inclined planes this early.
Howell, as long as she is learning something and she is eager to know more, it is fine with me. It has been worth enrolling her this early.
the day after the rain
I just saw this picture posted from achi's school's FB account. If I remember it right, this was the day after the typhoon. The reason why they were only 6 who went to school. If I were to choose, I wouldn't have allowed her to go school that day because it was still raining but she was persistent and I know that she misses her school activities.
Her classmates: Aeon, Akira, Gio, Gwen Mari, Shaira and Samantha.
birthday preps
For the third time, in 3 years I am again preparing for another 1st birthday. This time, there is a major difference since it would be for my baby boy.
Migs is turning 1 on Nov (and until now, I havent finished writing my birthing kwento yet) and I hope I will be able to come out with something that will make it more special for him. It is more challenging since its for a boy and we are on budget-constraint. We will limit guests to a very small number only. It will just be for close friends that really saw Miguel grow up.
Three more months and this is it. I hope when the day comes, the oil free moisturizer that I am currently using will show its effect too. I wish I'm not too haggard or stress-looking for more picture perfect shots for the family.
uniform day
Achi was too excited to wear her uniform. It was further delayed when Typhoon Gener hit the country. They had no school for 2 days so when she got the chance to go to school on Wednesday, she wore her uniform for the first time.
Isn't she so happy with her new everyday attire?
