Fitting room

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the department store of Market Market has a nice Fitting room for the kids.

We bought some rash guards for the Bohol trip. We couldn't resist to take pictures :)

Halloween 2012

 

Sleeping beauties

They're so tired, they will only be awaken by mommy's kiss :) 

 

After all the rides @ MOA

 

Alehra's 2nd birthday

Happy 2nd birthday to my cutie pie. We love you so much!

My little Snow white

This is Alec's costume last year. So pretty :)

Basty's 1st tooth(teeth) extraction

 

Last Saturday, September 22, we had to bring Basty to the dentist because his permanet teeth (2 front lower) were already emerging. If we didn't get the milk teeth emoved, the permanent teeth might come out crooked or remain inside his gum. I just want to say that Doc Jay did a terrific job. Basty went thru the whole process without experiencing pain. He did not even cry. When I asked him if he's okay to go through that again, he said okay. I can't say I had the same experience when I was a kid. I have to admit I had a fear going to the dentist. I am so happy we found doc Jay to take care of my children's dental needs and that my kids are not afraid of him.

89th birthday

It's my lola's 89th birthday and it's heartwarming to see her with my kids. We love her so much, we wish her good health.

wet, wet and wet

We did not go out of town, but the kids had fun getting wet in Hi-Street. We'll surely go back :)

He looks adorable here in PJ. Obvious na fake lang na sleeping.

Another pause

It's been a month  now since my last post.

What happened:
- Alehra got sick. We brought her to the ER of Makati Med. We were informed that it was respiratory tract infection :(
- Another friend's dad died :(
- Went out with hubby's cousins, they haven't been back here in the Philippines for a long time. We had fun :)
- Another year older...I feel so blessed this year :)
- Moonsoon rain happened. I feel bad for all those people affected :(

That's it for now.

Call me maybe

I'm not sure who she's trying to contact....LOL!



She's with ate Kai. She's our temp ate while ate Gina went home in Masbate to visit her bf who had a motorcyle accident. Ate Kai left us last year to go back to school. She finished second year high school but passed the exam that will let her take college and skip 3rd year and 4th year. We are happy for her. I wish I can pay her the same salary that the rich yayas are getting so she will stay with us because the kids really like her.

Sunday mess

 

As I was cleaning the room, the kids were busy making mess at the living room. To those nawies having a hard time implementing no TV, this will work. Let them make a mess and they will forget about TV time.

Realities of life

Yesterday, I went to Makati Med to visit my friend who's dad is in ER...I wss shocked to know that her dad died about an hour before I arrived.

The sad reality is, while you are grieving, you have to arrange for the interment. You have to arrange which funeral and where to lay his body to rest. Good thing her dad had bought a lot at manila memorial so that's one thing less to worry.

It got me thinking, what will happen if something happens to me or my husband? I don't want to dwell on it...but shouldn't we prepare for it so that those we will leave won't have to worry about it and proceed grieving for us?

This is something that I have to put on my to do list (though not a priority at this point). I'll get back to it as soon as I settle with Life Insurance.

For now, we need to strive to live healthy and hope to live for a long time.

love to pose

Whenever we go to malls and they see something interesting, they strike a pose and ask me to take their pictures.

Haircut

The ate left the scissors within reach...and this is what happened.... 

 

Alec cut her own hair. I'm just glad she didn't hurt herself in the process. Sabi ni Eric mukha syang doble kara. Long hair sa isang side and short naman sa isang side. Totally nawala yung bangs nya. Buti na lang nagawan ng paraan. But she looks thinner now with short hair.

Thank you to ate in cuts for tots (we forgot her name).

Can't sleep

 

Alec and Ehra are sleeping at the other room while Basty sleeps in our room. Last night we can't sleep, so we played with the camera :)

Too young for eyeglasses

like mommy, like daughter

she looks adorable with glasses

2 weeks ago, we noticed that Ehra's eyes are crossing (naduduling). At first, it would go back to normal after a period of time but by Thursday, it's like a permanent thing. So by Saturday we brought her to the Optha doctor in Makati Med. He referred us to pedia Ophta instead. We were able to meet the pedia ophta Wednesday afternoon. We choose the frame last Saturday and we got the glasses yesterday.
According to the doctor, Ehra is far sighted with grade of 400 (right eye) and 250 (left eye). I was shocked. Imagine, her grade is higher than mine. I also can't imagine her wearing glasses for a long period of time.
The next concern is, if after 2 to 3 months and the crossing of the eyes don't normalize, we might have to do the surgery.
Please pray that we don't need to go through that anymore.

Fever

Alec has fever. Teacher Che sent a message last Tuesday that Alec has fever. Yesterday, she did not go to school. As I was not feeling well myself, I stayed home too. This morning, she does not have fever anymore. I hope she'll be okay the entire day today so she can already go to school tomorrow. She loves going to school.

Independent

Today, Alec went to school on her own. I'm a bit worried. Last night, when we were prepping her that ate (yaya) won't be going with her to school, she told me that the mommies of her classmates are staying there so she wants me and daddy to stay with her. I told her that the mommies of her classmates don't go to work, but mommy and daddy need to go to work. So she said we'll just stay with her if we don't have work.
I'm not super worried because Alec is an independent girl. I know that she won't get bullied because she will fight back. Sabi nga ni yaya mas takot ang mga classmates nya sa kanya...and it was funny because when i saw the video which yaya took, she's the smallest in class.

Little Miss Philippines

Pwede na bang mag join sa Litte Miss Philippines? Super like nyang mag pa picture and mag pose :)

Finality

It's final! I sold my elecrtic pump...i've let go...I'm not going to have another baby....not anymore. I'm actually regretting the decision of not having the ligation after giving birth to our third baby.

I've also given all the baby clothes and all the maternity clothes that I have.

No more babies! 3 is enough for us.

Senior Kinder

 

Basty is now senior kinder (prep). He didn't want to go inside the classroom at first. He said it's not his classroom. He was looking for his classmates. Fortunately, her new teacher was the assistant teacher when he was in Nursery so the teacher called him, that's the only time we were able to make him go inside the classroom. When the teacher started giving out clays and blocks, we took it as our cue to go.

To my Basty, hope you'll have fun learning experience this year. Let's see if you'll be a swimmer or a soccer player :)

First time in uniform

excited to go to school

Alec, took this photo of mommy

waiting for the service.

The yaya was telling us that Alec is really enjoying going to school. She's not shy and she listens to teacher. May smiley stamp sya and she told yaya nung hinihilamusan sya not to erase it kasi ipapakita daw sa akin. When I arrived home tulog na sya so kaninang umaga, yun talaga ang pinakita nya sa akin :)
