Writer’s Workshop: Year end Bucket List

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Mama Kat, mama kat's writers workshop, thursday two questions

It will be Christmas in about a month’s time. There is still lots of things which I have yet to get done. We do not have winter here but I am going to list down the things I would like to complete during these “winter” months.

Do up the library at home and rearrange all the books we have in the house.
Lose that excess 5kg weight and get back to ideal.
Do up my 2013 blogging calendar.
Draft out the syllabus for teaching the kids Japanese next year.
Set up new schedules for everyone in the family for 2013.
Bake bread
Plan for a year end couple holiday

Do you have a year end /winter bucket list?

What would be on your list?

Writer’s Workshop: What Did you say Mummy?

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts mama kat's writers workshop, thursday two questions

Tiger girl painting

“What did you say mummy?” asked Tiger girl

“Am I to paint this side or the other side of the box?” she asked.

“You can paint any side of the box that you like dear” I replied

Tiger girl goes on to dab her brush into the blue paint on the palette.

“Mummy I want more colour!!” she requests.

” I want green,” she asks while pointing to the tube of green paint on the table.

I opened up the tube and poured some into the palette.

” I want yellow!!” she ordered next. ” No I want black”

I hold up both tubes to her and asked her again which colour she wanted.

“Both” she decided. I poured both colours out into the palatte for her.

” Mummy can’t paint!!” she fusses

” Of course dear, ” I replied” You got your brush upside down again. ”

Do your kids like doing art too?

Are they into colours?
