Magic Tree House Series

Posted on May 26, 2010 by greenbucks| 9 Comments

Ito ang aking unico hijo, nagbabasa ng isa sa mga aklat ng Magic Tree House series. Gustung-gusto niya ang mga aklat na ito at katunayan, isang araw niya lang binabasa ang isang aklat. Me konting problema nga lang, dahil mahilig siya sa numero, gusto niya dapat sunud-sunod ang mga book na babasahin niya 😉

Magic Tree House

Meron ding siyang ilang series na kinahiligan kagaya ng Geronimo Stilton at Top Gear (hehe, iba na to) na dapat sunud-sunod din ang pagbasa at pagpanood sa season.

Ang mga numero tungkol sa Formula One: standing, scores, speed, haba ng race tracks, at number of turns nito  (dinikta niya itong mga ito) ay kanyang gino-Google. Dati ang hilig niya ay size ng smallest at biggest countries at mga population nito 😀

Numero, bow. Yan ang hilig ng anak kong lalaki.

Bare Front Yard

Posted on May 18, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

The front yard is bare, except for a little patch of grass that managed to survive the summer heat. The grass has withered, my vegetable plants did too. Except for a big water container and sometimes the occasional inflatable pool the children use, there is not much to see and to look at.

We really need outdoor decor.

We have plans to do so but I don’t think we would love to use these outdoor furniture without having to build a roof to protect us from extreme heat and/or the rains during the rainy months.

Oh, I know I wouldn’t want to hear those noisy neighborhood children while I’m trying to relax outdoors so maybe I will just scrap that plan for now.

Excuses to Have a Netbook

Posted on May 17, 2010 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

I think I need to have a netbook. My laptop is uber heavy and uber big causing my aching arms/shoulders to further feel pain.

aspire

This is the husband’s Acer Aspire which I sometimes borrow whenever I need to go somewhere. I love the long battery life and lightness which is just perfect to carry around. Of course the small screen size might do further damage to my already blurred vision (I don’t need reading glasses yet, thank you very much, 😀 ) but I am not scared since the fonts can be made bigger when needed.

Excuses. They’re not 😉

Estranghero sa Pool

Posted on May 13, 2010 by greenbucks| 11 Comments

Estranghero, marami nito sa mga public swimming pools. Kahit na sa pool na pambata, dapat bantayan pa din ang mga anak dahil sa panahon ngayon maraming mga  hindi mapagkakatiwalaan.

Ang aking bunso, yung naka-aquamarine at ang pinsan niyang may itim na goggles. Mabuti noong nagswimming kami, yung medyo mas matatandang bata nababantayan ang mga mas bata sa kanila.

Hindi nga ba’t isa sa unang itinuturo sa mga bata ay huwag sumama o makipag-usap sa mga estranghero?

Homeschoolers No More

Posted on May 11, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

My kids are first-timers as school children. We have reached a consensus that they will go to school this school year. I have high hopes that they will have an easier time shifting from homeschooling to regular schooling since they are familiar with the school and big sis is also enrolled there.

For sure they will have to adjust to different things and some are:

  1. wake up schedule since they will have to wake up real early to catch the school bus
  2. school furniture since they will have to use desks and not sit on the sofa when they read their books or do seatworks on the dining table
  3. uniforms since they can’t go to school in their jammies
  4. eating packed lunches

I’m sure there are a whole lot more they will need to adjust to but I am hopeful that they will pull through 🙂
