Teacher's Day 2016 : Evelyn's Gifts

Mummy had scoured Pinterest and finally found something simple to do with you for your class teacher, Mrs. Teoh. Ah Ma had helped me get the egg trays to make this craft. The initial plan was just a card for Mrs. Teoh but in the end while you had your nap I found some simple ones for you to do.

We only had tine to start painting in the evening after dinner. You painted while I put the finishing touches to your "flowers".

Then you picked the pom poms and pipe cleaners for the flowers.

This is your card for Mrs. Teoh. Ko-ko helped to decorate the grass and background for you.  I also got you to write your own name on the card. I think it's a very beautiful card which you both made together.

These are the flowers you made out of egg carton, pom pom and pipe cleaners. You gave them to Miss Beh, Jamie Che-che, Miss Khoo, Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Sebastian.

This is a close up but blurry shot of the flower:

A Day at the Park

Obviously was a fun day for the both of you. Ko-ko got to ride his new bicycle and you got to play on the slides and swings, run around and also cycle.

MSSPP Wushu Tournament

Today was a long day . We woke up early, ate breakfast got ready then headed to MSN which thankfully is literally just outside out housing area.
The initial plan was for us to drop you. But you seemed rather nervous so I stayed on with you and Ah Ma went back home.
It was quite a wait. Luckily you brought your books and my phone was fully charged.
Finally it was your turn. You were number 124, just about the last few to compete. You got a score of 7.50. We were told to wait for the results as there would be a finals round. So we ate the grilled cheese sandwich while waiting. The results were out and since you were not in the finals, we headed home to rest.
You stayed home to eat lunch while we went out for a quick lunch. Then headed back to MSN again. This time you were second to go. Thank goodness as we estimated at least 160 participants for this round!!! You scored a little better this round: 7.63.
We stayed around for a while, even having ice cream and since you second round score was not high enough also, we headed home to aircon comfort... phew.
No matter what, we're proud that you had tried your best and that you also represented your school for the Wushu tournament .

Spending Time

Today after dropping Ko-ko for Wushu,we headed to Tesco as Ah Ma wanted to buy butter. So while she went up to Tesco you got a ride. This was what you got:

Biker Princess Sofia

Then as Ah Ma wasn't down yet we decided to have something in McDonald's. We shared a Milo and you ate a hash brown while waiting for Ah Ma. As you were enjoying your hash brown, you said this to me "Thank you mummy for spending time with me. Today just the two of us spend time together".

It's nice to treat you and to have you so thankful for such simple treats. We should go out and do more girly things together often. You also kindly reminded me to spend time just with Ko-ko as well...

Artist at Work

This was from your party pack at Abigail's birthday party. As I was off today, you insisted that we did some painting today. So here you are painting:

So focused , don't you think?

And this is the end result. 

I was tempted to paint over and make it like it should but on second thought, I decided to let you paint as you like. I kinda like your artwork. 

Mother's Day 2016

You told me that you didn't want to nap yet. That you wanted to make me a bracelet for Mother's Day.

In the end... yup asleep and no bracelet to show...

Luckily though I got this beautiful card which you gave me on Friday and wished me "Happy Mother's Day Card". Hehe....

Most adorable card which is now safely in my handbag to be brought to the office. 

Chef Daddy's Biggest Fan

Yup... you are obviously his biggest fan judging from your happy expression. 

This was what we had for Labour Day dinner:

Cooked on the barbecue. We had perfect weather. Finally the heatwave wasn't too hot as it rained quite regularly lately. 

This was Mei-mei's dinner. Food cooked in the barbecue with her rice. We had another guest that night too. Ian joined us and he also ate rice like Mei-mei. 

Dinner in BM

Here's what we had in BM yesterday along with pictures of everyone goofing for the camera:

Jigsaw Puzzles

You took out the puzzle to fix while I was getting ready to have my shower. You sure enjoyed it. First time you made it, daddy helped you and now you are able to do it yourself :

Here's your pose for me when you realised I was taking pictures:

Please Mummy

"Please mummy... When we go to Cold Storage, can you buy for me the dinosaur sweets?"

My Name is "Princess Sofia "

Since you were wearing this new Princess Sofia dress you said that your name is Princess Sofia.  When I asked you if you wanted to tie up your hair you said "Sofia does not tie up her hair". Oh.. silly mummy. Got confused between the princesses.

Here is the princess with her prince charming. 

Enjoying Each Other's Company

Growing Up So Soon?

When I brought you down to school on Wednesday, you told me that you'll go in yourself. I thought that I had heard you wrongly.  But when I followed youtowards school, you told me you would go in on your own. My heart sank, I was so sad.
Thank goodness on the subsequent days you allowed me to go in with you. Phew...
Don't grow up so soon,darling.

Fun with 2 Ee-ee

Mymmy and I went to the big bookshop with the new and old Ee-ee. After that we went for lunch at this restaurant which mummy had to ask if they had Milo ice before we decided if we wanted to eat there.
Before the new Ee-ee drove us to Gurney Plaza to continue kai-kai with daddy and Ko-ko, we spotted some displays which we could pose and take pictures. So, I had to pose for the 2 ee-ee's to take my pictures :

Minecraft

Evan: My game is Minecraft
Evelyn : What? Your craft?
Evan : No... Minecraft!!
Evelyn : Your craft?
Evan : NooooOooo... the name of the game is MINECRAFT!!!

I still don't think Mei-mei understood what you were trying to explain to her.

Easter Egg Hunt

A simple chocolate egg hunt for the two of youaround the living room. With the heat it would be impossible to have the hunt outside,so we did it inthe comfort of our air-conditioned house.
You easily found most of the eggs while Mei-mei needed some help from you to finally find her 10 eggs.

Going to "Work"

Got the Hello Kitty lanyard for you at work. That very night, you put it on and told me: Mummy-boss,  I'm going to work.
Then sat on your stool and kept busy with "work".

When I Grow Up

What I want to be.. what I want to be... when I grow up to be big me...
Heard Barney singing this song on TV then you came to me in the bathroom and said:
Mummy, when I grow up I want to be doctor.

Wow!!

A Time for Goofing Around

mBot Course

Signed you up for this course a few weeks back. It was held in the Penang Science Cluster today. We took the whole day off to accompany the both of you since it was school holidays and Ah Kong and Ah Ma were off to Australia on holiday.
In the end we started the day in Adventist Hospital as Mei-mei had a bad cough. Then lunch a bit of shopping for groceries to cook for dinner this week. After that it was time to drop you off. We dropped Mei-mei back home for her bap before running more errands then picking you up at 5pm.
You said you had fun. I'm glad you had a good time.
At least you had some fun instead of just studying the whole holidays for your exams.

Beading

As you keep losing your bracelets, I decided to buy you more beads which you can make your own bracelet while also improving your finer motor skills.
Here you are having fun with the beads.

Movie Day: Kung Fu Panda 3

While we enjoyed the movie, daddy also enjoyed himself with a massage. So for the first time, mummy went to the movies alone with the both of you. Ko-ko as usual was well behaved and enjoyed his popcorn and movie while you could not sit still throughout the movie, ending up on my lap halfway through the movie.
Not a bad day as everyone did something they enjoyed.

Excursion Day

This is your happy and excited face on the way to school as you will be sitting on a bus and going to the "korium" (museum).
Had a fall just before getting onto the bus but you proudly told me that you were brave and did not cry.

Egg-citing Dinner

Rabbit shaped egg for tonight's dinner as requested by the lady boss:

Happiness for Evan

This is your first present for this year's birthday. The happiness on your face is priceless....

Playing and Learning

Bought this jigsaw alphabet 2 weekd back. And since I am home today we took it out to play.

Yup, you know how to spell your name. But since there was only 1 "E", I told you to just use the "F" to replace the second "E". The second time we played, you spelled your name and placed an "O" to replce it without me teaching you to.

Then we tried Ko-ko's name. You only knew the first letter. So you had to ask him 3 times before you got his name. Good try...

Lost, Then Found Again

Last Wednesday you called me late in the evening to tell me that you had lost you Moral workbook. I had to ask Aunty Joanne to snapshot the cover of the book and then later she even helped to scan the homework pages which daddy had to cover Kelvin's homework then print out for you to do.
Initially, you seemed not to be worried about the lostbook. It was later that I found out from Aunty Joanne taht the teacher was going to cane anyone who did not handup the book on Thursday.  Great......
After a lot of scolding, we all bundled into the car and headed to Queensbay to try our luck in Popular Bookstore.  Too bad for you , they did not carry this book. Which was how you ended up doing the printout.
The next day, daddy and I went to try our luck in one of the shops on Carnavon Street and you were in luck!! They had the book. So we bought the book then headed to school to give you the new copy.
The teacher was ok that you at leasthada replacement book and you were to finish the previous work overthe weekend. So after a grueling weekend of trying to finish your workbook with only a few pages you needed to check with the teacher,  your book reappears!!! Exactly one week after it went missing....
