Fire Drill

Oh I wish I could have my PC back, all the photos I have was there and it's killing me that updating my blog is hard without my photos.. sigh. This photo was uploaded before my PC crashed.

I wasn't in the school when the annual fire drill was held  but glad that one of the Moms who attended  took pictures and gave each of the student a copy.  This is the second grade class.  I am loving the  fire men  wearing pink shirt hehehe.

Tutorville

Me and my husband was invited to attend a meeting  by the principal of  our children school in order  to discuss a possible  special program for gifted children.  Our daughter  was recommended by her teacher  because she see a potential in her.  She was impressed when our daughter showed her  some of her  articles  and drawings that she did at home when she is off from school.  I am so glad that our daughter is doing so good in school.

It is my son that I am concern about, although he is doing good but doesn't take  it as seriously as his sister.  That is why I focus my attention in helping my son with his  homework at home because I know that he needs it most more than his sister.  I am also glad that I am a stay at home mom and I can teach my son at home.  Some Moms who  need to work has no other option but to  hire a tutor for their kids.  

Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is very common. My daughter was only nine months old when I got pregnant again. She got used to being our everything so when our son was born, she wasn't very happy. She was only 18 months old and it was very hard for her to accept that she had a competition to our attention.

For the most parts, she was very good to her brother but there were times that she would pinch him or bite him when she wanted attention.

It was hard for me too especially that  my family was far away, I felt like I  had twins lol.

Now that they are  bigger, sibling rivalry still exist.  It's a constant battle  that I have to deal with from time to time.

Time flies and I am glad that I got to  enjoy  motherhood in full at home.

Trick or Treat 2012

The trick or treat event here in Weirton was rescheduled last Saturday. Even though it was a bit cold, we accompanied our Burritos to go treat or treating so they could have fun.

Thanks for commenting.

Pumpkin Patch

The photos below were taken at the pumpkin patch at Janoski's Farm. We bought three pumpkins, two small ones and one medium white one.

Squash is the only thing that I saw  at my country so when I see the different varieties of pumpkins here, I was amazed.  I like the pink pumpkin the most .

Going to a pumpkin  patch with my kids is so much fun!  Presenting  our outdoor fun to you.   Thanks for visiting!

Child's Happiness

I showed these  photos of my kids to a colleague and  she said in disbelief "You let your kids play in the leaves?  Do you know how much dust is in it?"  I told her that  my kids enjoy it and that a little dust  won't hurt them.  What matters to me is the fact that they  can enjoy what mother nature has to offer.  I personally think that this is better than letting your kids just sit in front of the TV or playing  games.  This is a good exercise for them both physically and emotionally.

As long as you clean  them up after they play and  let them eat healthy foods, they are okay.  Child's happiness comes in many forms and this is one of them.

Puffy Paint

I am glad that Mr. Burrito is into arts and crafts now.   He used to ignore us when we encouraged him to do arts and crafts with us but now he is very interested.  They used their Puffy Paints  on this particular activity instead of using crayons.
