Kids Amuse Me Monday

, ,

Raising girls bookLast weekend we took the kids to the library to borrow books for them to read during the week. We have been bringing the kids to the library more often now that there is a new library that opened up in a mall that we frequently visit after mass on Sunday.

Guess who picked up this book for R and I to read?

A- Monkey Boy

B- Doggie boy

C- Tiger Girl

 

I was surprised when this book was selected and thrust to me to borrow.  I never expected one of my kids to select such a book. One of them must  really feel that as parents we still lack the relevant skills in parenting girls and need to read up more.

We have only been raising our girl for the past 20 months and still have lots to learn about raising girls as compared to boys.  I guess this must be on the mind of my kid who took the book for me to read.

So can you guess which of the three  made us borrow the book? I would like to read your guesses below in the comments. 😛
Photobucket

This week the theme is 1 hit wonder. I’m choosing Don’t say you love me by M2M. Do you remember listening to this group back in 2000s.

 

Questions:
1. I keep putting off making a photobook for Tiger girl. I can’t put it off any longer as the voucher expires on 25th April which is 2 days time!!

2. What is your current weather?
Wet and humid.

3. What is the nicest room in your house?
 It would be the kitchen as it is the least cluttered room in the house at the moment. It also has all my fancy gadgets (toys) in it 😛

4. What jewelry do you never take off?
My wedding band. The only exception was before delivering the 3 kids as no jewellery was allowed during the C-sections which I had to go through.

5. Do you eat a snack before bed?
 No. I’m actively trying to lose weight so no snacking for me.

SOC: Determining Success

,

#SOCsunday
Today has been a interesting day for me. R and I went for our first couple cooking class. We made egg benedict, parma ham with rocket, chocolate brownies and mushroom risotto. ( Will post the pictures later in the week once I get them downloaded from my phone).

The event was a success as we finally got to go on a date without the 3 kids in tow and got to do something interesting and out of the ordinary. R loved the hands on session and we got to be in the kitchen together learning how to cook new items which we haven’t cooked before. The cooking part wasn’t too challenging for us as we both cook. It was fun to learn how to make dishes which we haven’t tried cooking on our own kitchen. The risotto was making was rather laborious for me as I had to constantly stir the rice as it cooked over the fire and add chicken broth to it while I cooked. It was great that R was there to take turns to do the cooking as I was practically falling asleep stirring and looking at the stove.  I don’t have the luxury of standing at the stove and cooking for 20-30 minutes and any cooking that is done is done using the timer and mostly ” put and go” come back..monitor for a while or a quick 5 min stir fry. This is because I’m constantly being distracted by the kids for one thing or another and it’s impossible to give my full attention to cooking.

It was great to spend that couple of hours together with R kid free and having good food to go along with it. The best thing is that I got a new toy for the kitchen after the class in the form of a new kitchen knife. R and I were enjoying using the knifes which were supplied at the cooking class that we decided to purchase one to use at home. 🙂

How was your weekend?
