Buggy boxes on Art&Craft Tuesday

In an attempt to inject some sort of a routine to the boys' weekday evenings, I've started Games-book Mondays and Art&Craft Tuesdays since last week (the rest of the week has been er... sort of arbitrary for now...).


'Games-book' is the term I use for fun worksheets or work books.  Nothing serious, just some fun exercises to get the kids to settle down before bedtime.  I also hope that by calling Maths exercises 'number games', Yiyang would see them as fun exercises.  As for Yiheng, he attempted his first 'games book' recently; he found it so fun he refused to stop!  He finished the entire book in 2 days?! S$5.89 well-spent!


As for Art&Craft Tuesdays, so far, Mr Printables has been a saver!


This Tuesday, we made some easy 'bug boxes'.  Involved a little scissors-work (for the older one), some folding and pasting.  A simple, quiet, fun and cute craft to do.  Sweet results!

The photographer makes the picture

Chanced upon these words on a photographer friend's facebook page. Actually, he's more like the father of my boy's classmate at childcare - Haha.

He very recently opened his own photography studio - it's only been a short few months and I'm already seeing all these awards that the studio is getting. It must be because he is talented and very passionate about what he does. Head over to Under The Stars now if you're looking for simplicity in romance!

Yay! It's Lunar New Year again!

Paul likes to remind me that this is his favourite holiday of the year. I think it's mine too. Can't think of another occasion filled with more family gatherings/visiting, laughter, good food, junk food... and the list goes on.

He also never fails to remind me, in the hour leading up to midnight that x years back, we had spent those moments in the hospital welcoming little Yiyang to this world.

I know I will have many more years to exclaim this, but 'how time flies!'. He's no longer the infant we held in our arms but a lively, cheerful, bubbly and a total energy bunny (or 'piggy', rather) that he is today. May he stay healthy and happy always.

Love, ma.
