Vierte clowning to 5
V chose a clown cake design to celebrate his 5th birthday. He gave me specific instructions on how his cake will look like. We asked him if he wanted to have a big party or special gifts from us. All he wanted was clown cake for school, chocolate muffins, Oreo bites and special gifts. Baked a chocolate cake on a bowl pan so the face wont be flat but the cake turned out to be dry so I decided to use round 6″ inches baking pan thus a flat face for this clown. So sorry for giving you a flat face happy clown. Before leaving for school V made us promise that we bring his sister to school as well. The joy on his face when we revealed the cake in front of his friends was priceless. “My mom made that for me!” We learned a lesson from last years 4th birthday dragon cake to not make a mess on the classroom. Instead of slicing the cake for the kids to enjoy each one had a vanilla …
No school just yet
No yet! V was snoozing by 8pm for his first school day. Me despite of the lack of sleep was up at 5:30am to prepare his snack. By 7am all five us (including Chloe) all ready to bring V to school. We arrived and there was no students on the KG building so we thought we were too early but it was already 7:20am then the one of the teachers approached us “Is he in KG? They start on Tuesday.” We left Vs school laughing. We have to do this all over again on Tuesday.
DIY Spider Costume
V went to school today as a spider. Being a mom made me a creative person. You see I’m not the most creative person in my family. My mom knows how knit, sew, draw, and has a green thumb. My sister Bernadette is the artist she can create artsy stuff making use of materials available on hand, she plays the guitar, knows how to draw, a good singer and dancer. My brother he’s good at fixing things and learned how to draw and played the guitar because Bernadette taught him how. As for me well I like to tell my siblings what I want and they happily (forced) to do it for me (perks of being the eldest). Everything changed though when V came to my life. I wanted to learn how to bake yummy cakes and make them pretty which led me to learn how to work with fondant. The joy I saw in his eyes when I made his Dragon cake was priceless (he’s actually planning his 5th birthday cake now). I once taught that …
I love you Mum!
V excitedly announced that he prepared a surprise for me, daddy’s not allowed. I’ve been bugging him for a week about the surprise and he never gave in. Finally the day came he was up before his dad and was very excited to go to school. He even chose what dress I should wear and declared I look pretty. His class prepared song and dance for us Mums and gave each of us a card. “Mama when baby comes out I will teach her my song too for mother’s day.” I love you V!
Hearts’ Day
Last week V came home asking me to make some cake for his friends in school when I asked why he replied “It’s Valentines Day Mama.” I browsed around Pinterest (you just get lost in there) for some toddler valentine craft and found plenty of cute and easy crafts V and I can do. V sat down with me and he absolutely love these Butterfly Valentine craft from SkipTomyLou V went to school today with his Vday gift to his teachers and friends. He started with the two nannies in his school bus. “Happy Valentines Nanny! I have a gift for you. Thank you for taking care of me.” Happy Heart’s day everyone!
Happy 4th Birthday Vierte!
How time flies, 4 years back Mister God surprised C and I with a special gift our little man. Last October 17 he turned 4 years and all he wanted was McDonalds Nuggets with toy and Dragon Cake. When I asked him what cake he wanted for his birthday, V reached for my 50 Easy Party Cakes by Debbie Brown book and pointed on the green Dragon Cake but requested his dragon to be red “It’s my favorite color Mama.” Teacher asked us to be at the school by 9:30 am so the kids would have some time to enjoy the food and cake. But the traffic lights had a different plan and we arrived late about 9:45 am the kids were about to start eating snack. We didn’t have enough time to put the dragon eggs and take pictures with the cake plus C’s camera went bonkers on us and just wouldn’t allow us to take good photos. The kid’s reaction when they saw the cake was just priceless. V kept telling his classmates …
We survived 1st week of school
A week has passed since V started kindergarten and we can conclude that he is enjoying his time. Few funny things happened though… Sunday (1st day of swimming lessons):   He went home with an extra swimming trunks and when I asked him about it, he insisted that his friend gave it to him. As I was stripping him off his school uniform to my surprise “Where’s your brief, love?” he replied with a smile “I gave it to my friend.”  When C arrive home from work he proudly showed his dad the extra trunks “I have a surprise for you Daddy! Taaannaaan…See new underpants!” Monday:   “Ma, Teacher got upset with V because I don’t know how to listen” This was the only day that he didn’t come home with a star on his hand (or face) Tuesday (P.E. Class):   Came home wearing a different pair of shoes. Wednesday:   He would always greet me with a big smile as the school bus door opens but today was different he look …
