Home baked lasagne

I finally get to bake lasagne at home.

Just went to the grocery store.
Picked lasagne noodles.
Bought the ingredients from the recipe from the box of the pasta.
Followed the instructions at home.

Voila! My very own lasagne!

Come on over Nin!

Lunch date with Nin

It was enrollment time again. Summer is incoming grade 3 already. She skipped grade 2 because of K12 but they will be using books for grade 2 level.

Nin invited us for lunch and Summer picked the restaurant. We had lunch at CPK. She had pizza of course.

We then dropped off Nin at work and went home, thankfully safe and sound.

Home maid.

Summer's summer job - steward.

Learning to wash the dishes at 7yo.
And learning to play piko at 7yo.

Summer overnight

My babies spent the night at Ojay's to sleep with their cousins.

Brought them there after dinner. Bought ice cream and candies for the kids too.

And here's a photo of their midnight snack.

Happy birthday Lolo!

It's Lolo Fidel's 98th birthday! Too bad I wasn't able to join them. Good thing Yaya was kind enough to take pics of the kids and share it with me. This is something I cannot expect from Omar - document every kids' moves like their stage mom.

The kids were not prepared to go swimming. Tita Macy lent Summer her leotards and tied it at the back.

They sure had fun swimming with their cousins.

The heat is on!

And it's just so hard to keep the kids from the pool.

Oh and thank you Ninong Dojoe for the pasalubong. That truly deserves a wet kiss! :)

Helping hands

I love the photo where Summer's teaching Winter roll the cookie dough and how Winter listens and follows his ate's instruction.

Baking time is bonding time.

For Nin

Nin is back from their company outing at Vancouver.

Summer haven't met her yet and here's a welcome drawing for Nin thanking her for pasalubong!

Happy birthday Tito Boy!

It's Wudjiman's birthday!

Summer's work

Kuya Olejoe and Tito Ancel gifted Summer with packs of tracing paper, pencils and colored pencils. Kuya taught Summer how to trace.

And this is Summer's first tracing project in time of the Titanic's centennial year.

Taking after his ate

Sharing with you Winter's drawing of his helmet in my ipad.

New hair

It's summer time and Summer's so thin. Have to trim her hair a bit for her face to look a little rounded.

Porma

The little boy is just sooo maporma.

He loves wearing jacket, watch and shades. Even when just at home. Even at 12noon when it was sooo hot.
He loves wearing shoes and socks even if just at home.
He uses cologne for home and perfume when going to school.

And now he wants his hair up!

Helmet

Went to trinoma to buy a gift for Mommy D.
Winter saw a hat and wanted to buy for him and for his papa.
Brought the kids to the toy department to buy them a small item.
Winter saw this helmet and he wanted this instead of the hat.

There goes my little swat boy.

Caught in the act!

Look who I caught checking out the supplies!

It's summer. No school. Kids are always at home. My grocery bill is sooo over the budget.

My vegetable corner

I initially waned a vegetable garden for my landscape at home but Kuya said it is not possible due to the plants' life span so he just gave me a corner where I can do my farming.

Alugbati just sprouted out from it.
I bought tarragon and mint.
I bought hot lady and tomato which died when it was accidentally stepped on by Omar.
My help planted ginger, ampalaya and tomato found from the frontyard.

I want basil, oregano and arugula.

Aside from that, I have 2 mango trees and pandan at the backyard.

Happy birthday Mommy!

What was supposed to be a birthday lunch with the Santiagos 2nd gen turned to a dinner with just the family.

Kuya's been sick with on and off fever since Tuesday. Come Easter Mass, he had a moment of blurred vision. And with his size, we have to bring him to the hospital while he can still walk because we do not have the strength to carry him.

Good thing his sugar was normal. He was just dehydrated so he was sent home.

Tuloy ang birthday ni Mommy.

Good Friday

It was a tradition since I got married to do the Stations of the Cross while doing the Visita Iglesia on Good Friday at Bulacan.

We didn't have enough prayer books so we thought of uploading app in our gadgets so we can all have the same prayers with every station.

Old tradition in a modern way.

Last station will be the fishball stand next to the Church.

Holy Wednesday

For more than a decade now, we've been going to the Divine Mercy with Mons Flint for the Stations of the Cross.

We always end up with strangers finishing with us since they can recognize that we have a monsignor with us saying short homily in every station.

And we discovered where we can buy the suman with buko and pinipig.

Play area

The kids at the play area of Mc Donalds.

Lava cake!

Bought this so I can pay card at S&R.

I saw this set of 4 tumbler glass which matches our plate set but it was on sale so it was cheap. Still, I didn't bring enough cash for I am used to using card. So I looked around to purchase something else to add on to the bill and saw this.

Good thing I didn't have enough cash. I got to taste this. It's so yummy!

Lolo's space

Lolo Oka's been asking Winter to sit next to him but the bratty little big just kept on ignoring him. Until Julian sat next to Lolo with his Ipad and the girls stood next to them to watch Julian play with his ipad and here comes the little boy to play with them too.

Now, Lolo got to sit next to Winter 😉
