Top 10 Highlights of July 2012
July has been a very busy month for me. The kids are back in school and it has been a whirlwind of activities for us. This month the kids have been busy trying out new games, visiting places and having lots of fun. Besides fun and activities I’ve also been concentrating more on their academic development. This is because Doggy boy will be entering elementary school next year and Monkey boy will be having his first formal exam yr end.
Here is a recap of what highlights we had this month.
#1- I talked about how I created a Multilingual Environment for the kids and how important it is to start the kids exposure to language from young.
#2- Tiger girl really enjoys cars like her brothers. Here’s a peek on how she manages to get her quota of being behind the steering wheel. I guess when you have elder brothers it can hard not to develop a linking towards cars.
#3- Doggie boy is more into arts and crafts now. We aren’t sending him for any art lessons but he does do his own crafts at home when he is free. Last month he made a Subway and made an impressive underwater fish fantasy drawing.
#4- I got my new baby- Cannot Rebel T4si 650D. I’ve been saving up for it and finally my picture perfect dream has come true.
Now to work on getting some upgrades for this baby. Am eying a better zoom and a macro lens.
#4- July was a month where I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried something different- Canvas painting. It’s was the first Artsy Challenge which I have done in a long while. It was a really fun experience painting on canvas and it was great fun for me.
#5- We had our first family rock climbing experience with Beyond Academics. It was the 2nd time climbing for the boys and hubby and my 1st time. Even though scaling the wall was challenging but I really enjoyed myself even though my muscles were aching on the 2nd day.
#6- I was having dessert cravings so I took out our waffle maker and the kids had yummy Belgium waffles with fruits and ice cream. Next month I will attempt to do more bakes. I’m planing to do a cheesecake and tiramisu.
#7- I got more personal on the blog and wrote about the 30 things you would like to know about me
#8- Kids really love playing dress up. I caught my little girl walking in my shoes. All my 3 kids loved doing this.
#9- It is important to Make Time. You will never have enough time to do whatever you would like to do unless you really make an effort to make time for it.
#10 – What better way to spend the weekend then to have time to spend with the kids. Having a Daddy and me moment is what the kids enjoy. I for see that we will be having plenty of this in months to come.
How was your month of July?
