Waiting

While waiting for their dance lesson, I took some photos of Ms. Burritos and her friends beside Cassey Sister's studio hall.

The gifts under the tree are for less fortunate kids.

Next week will be Ms. Burrito's last dance lesson for this year, the studio will resume their classes on January 2, 2012.

Below is Mr. Burritos Modeling Clay creation.

Thanks everyone for visiting!

Love for Gardening

Ever since I was a kid, I  always love  gardening.  My Mom would always tell me to  plant vegetables  at our backyard  but I was more interested in planting   ornamental ones to help beautify our small shanty.  When I came here in  the US, all the plants are very unfamiliar to me so I have to always look for tips on gardening from different sources online.  

I found some beautiful  arrangement of flowers online so if you are planning to buy your wife, your girlfriend, or your  Mom, check out the  internet flowers available at Serenata Flowers.  You can easily make your order and surprise your love one  with a beautiful  bouquet.  My husband used to surprise me with a bouquet when I was still living in the Philippines and he was stationed in Guam.  He would order it online and have it delivered at the school where a I work and   my friends would tease me for it.  It was great memory!

Nature Play at its Best

My previous post about how fun raking leaves can be, has won 10th place from the Parents and Play contest that was sponsored by the Kaboom.org. You may see their post about it in this url. http://kaboom.org/blog/nature_play_its_best . Kaboom is an organization that promotes the importance of play in children's overall growth. If you are a parent and you want to be involve with their programs, check them out.

But anyhow, below is a ballerina ornament we bought for our daughter last year. She wasn't dancing yet then, she just started this summer. We buy each of our kids something every year so that when we are putting up our Christmas tree, it would remind them of the previous years.

Thank you for visiting

Undeniably Sweet

These burritos constantly picks on each other but at the end of the day, they are undeniably sweet. Whenever they can't sleep from their own beds, they sleep together and then hubby and I would just separate them before we go to bed.

Have a great week everyone.

Puzzle Time

When it's rainy and gloomy outside, the Burritos gets bored  inside the house and sometimes tempted to do some  mischief.  Times like that is a perfect time to whip out some of their puzzles. They both love puzzles so they work together in building it.

After  doing two boxes/sets of puzzles, Ms. Burrito   volunteered to   wash the dishes.  Thanks Anak!

Mr. Burrito love to  do  dance moves most of the time when he is   getting bored hehehe.

Hope you guys are having a good week.  The weather  here is getting colder each day.

Learning how to Shop on a Budget

Our little first grader student had a straight A grades on the first quarter or first grading on her report card. We are so proud of you Ms. Burrito, we as parents are so happy to have a little scholar. I hope that she would continue to do good in school. We love you!

She is a little disappointed about her Science/Health grade because it is the lowest one but we told her that it's okay. It is still an A so it doesn't mater, beside she can still improve it. She loves Science that's why she was bummed out.

Pardon for the messy hair, she just arrived from school when I took the photos. She was very excited to show us her report card so we opened it up at the porch.

Next week will be their Santa's Secret Shopping at St. Joseph School. Parents and teachers organize this event every year to teach the kids on how to shop for gifts on a budget. Last year, Ms. Burrito shopped for Pap, her brother, and her Aunt Chris. This year, she is shopping for Pap and for her brother.

Kiddies Thanksgiving Feast

A combined classes of the pre-school to 1st grade at St. Joe's had their Thanksgiving Feast last

The venue of the feast   was in the music room.  Each  holiday,  there are volunteered parents  assigned to help facilitate the event.  I am one of those parents who were tasked to help during their Thanksgiving.

 

Turkey and other  Thanksgiving goodies was  catered by Bob Evan's.  The cost of the meal for every student was  $5.00 which isn't bad considering the fun that they had.  They  took home an owl  mitten souvenir  courtesy by the Teachers.
