Breakfast, anyone?

A unique start to Spring break! "Delicious", "No calories" and "Guaranteed 吃到饱报" breakfast served by Kaeden & Ashlyn...

Baking fUn with Ash

Decided to bake some cookies to finish up with the ingredients in my pantry and Ash had lots of fun helping me out!

Though some of the cookies turned out to be alittle a-hem... but well, who cares! So long they tasted good, which of course... they do!

The last few weeks...

Couldn't believe our stay here is coming to an end in another 6.5 weeks... No matter how much I complained about Mr Cheng's crazy working hours, I know I will definitely miss this place, the friends I made and everything about here...

We have been working hard for the past few weeks to expedite our packing so that most of the stuff are settled before the man leave for his deployment in mid-April. The progress has been so far so good....

Last weekend, we have finally gone down to dismantling Kaeden's bed frame and getting it ready for our shipment! Excellent job we did, didn't we?

PTC week

Walker & I took turns going to the kids' PTC (Parents Teacher Conference) last week...

Report from Mrs Johnson on Kaeden (19 March 2013):

- A highly competitive boy with lots of potential in him
- Excellent reading capability
- Ahem... Have to improve on his handwriting
- He tends to rush through his assignments as he wanted to be the 1st in class to complete it. Have to take note of that because this may cause unnecessary marks to fly away from carelessness.

Glad to hear that Kaeden is doing well in school with no behavioral issues. Then again, the last note from his teacher has been bothering me since his preschool days in Grace House. Seems like till now still no sign of improvement. Sigh...

Report from Ms Debbie on Ashlyn (22 March 2013)

- Excellent fine motor skills
- A very careful person in whatever she does
- Things she likes: Painting, Animals & Wheels on the Bus
- Doesn't bully others but when bullied, she will stand firm and won't give in

Heehee good observations from her teacher because that is so uniquely Ashlyn :)

Universal Studios

23 December 2012

It was an exceptionally short day for us at the Universal Studios today.

Probably due to the upcoming holidays, everywhere was pretty crowded! Since we weren't keen on the long wait for the rides, we took a leisure stroll around the park instead. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed themselves :)

39.6oC

Its gonna be another few days of no eat, no milk and super grouchy mood for Ash again. Hates it whenever she is down with high fever as there is nothing we could do since the doctor can never find anything wrong with her :(

Hope its just the usual teething again which has always been the case whenever she refused milk. Her last 2nd molar... +oil!

McCall Winter Carnival 2013

26 January 2013

Due to the bad weather forecast, we had been advised to travel in groups for our drive up to McCall. Thankfully, most part of our journey were pretty alright except for some dense fog in Boise area. PTL!

It only started to snow heavily when we checked into the hotel… *oh no*

But well... that didn't dampen our mood the least bit and we continued with our search for a good makan place (which we found it)!

The surrounding area of the Payette Lake was really beautiful :) So glad we managed to complete the walk before our soaking wet feet got too painful for us to stay on...

27 January 2013

After yesterday's wet and messy night, we were more than happy to welcome a sunny morning! Finally a good picture of the snow sculpture outside our hotel...

We ventured further across the road...

Guess what we found? A kids playground made from SNOW! @_@ So fun!

And that marked the end of our sculpture hunting as we spent the rest of our time here for the kids to play. Haha seeing them having so much fun... worth it la!

See you again McCall!
