Day 30 Mobile Time

Keren's able to focus better now and she's enjoying her mobile going round and round..

Foam art…

Mmmmm…..Letters again

We have stopped our letter learning for sometime and since it's the hols, we got back to it again!

Random craft and word chart (from myplayschool.net) and word recognition by matching pictures to the lyrics of "Five Little Monkeys" which the kids loved!

Next we explored the story about "The Mitten" and the kids loved it and Keziah could read it on her own again and again. Got ideas for some games from homeschoolshare.com.

We threaded out mittens and decorated them with stickers. Can you guess which is Keziah's and which is Abels? Simple colour matching and sizing activities.

Memory game to see who could remember which animal went into the mitten first and Keziah did her little sequence book. 

Craft time again. What can be an easier way to tell them what mosiac is than to get hands-on to make their own creation. For $1.60 each piece, it's cheap entertainment and it also trained them on precision of pasting as the pieces were really quite small.

When Mommy's home, they dedicate all their art pieces to Daddy…Hmmm...

Simply bubbles

What can make the kids more happy than this? Especially a new devise which doesn't even need them to blow their lungs out. Wave the magic wand...

Jap Food again...

Daddy wanted to change Keziah's shoes that were given to her to a larger size and so we trotted down to Vivo City after their nap. Her new shoes....

We splurged on dinner tonight at Mommy's favourite Japanese restaurant, Shin Kushiya. The food was ever so good!

One thing about this place, their cold noodles are not the usual buckwheat green noodles but white ones with a firm bite yet silky. Daddy ordered on with accompanying duck broth dip. It tasted a little like miso sauce but nonetheless yummy.

We ordered the usual beef noodles for the kids and kushiyaki while Mommy had her sashimi rice bowl.

We also ordered Yakimono, charcoal grilled speciality. This kimchi stuff charcoal-grilled squid was fantastic! Despite it being spicy, our girl loved it, eating one piece after another eventhough she had to down water after every mouthful.

For the first time, we indulged in dessert here - black sesame icecream and plum wine tiramisu. What a glorious wrap up of the meal!

How our kids enjoyed the food. You will never go wrong with noodles with them.

Kitty Crystal Creation

Keziah received this Hello Kitty Cyrystal Creation Kit from her friend for her birthday. Today after her nap while Abel was still sleeping, we attempted to try out making one craft.

It was actually more difficult than what Mommy thought. It took Keziah a lot of patience to pick those tiny rhinestones up with the sticky pen and assemble them on the template. Certainly, it took her a lot of fine motor skills too trying to manipulate those stones into place. We worked on it for at least half an hour or so before we saw the output!
