Mummy loves me this I know ... ...

The boys made those arts in school today in celebration of Mother's Day.
Zac's flower comes with a very nice poem that goes :

Mummy loves me this I know,
Everyday she tells me so.
On this very special day,
I have only this to say.
I love you Mummy,
I love you Mummy,
I love you Mummy,
You mean the world to me.

Amos flower was very creatively done, it was cut out from his hand print & folded to make the petals for the flower :):)

Thanks kiddos, mummy loves all your art pieces. muackkkkkssss !! :):)

Happy Mother's Day to all Mummies out there ... ...

Thank you, my first commentator

Little 3D Handiwork from the boys... ...

I bought a packet of 3D handiwork last year but misplaced it. How careless of me !!
Recently, I found it "effortless" while locating painting brush for Zac in an isolated art box. haha ;p
Immediately I showed it to the boys. Zac chose the train & Amos chose the car. We sat down to work on it instantly. I helped them with the cutting of the model while they do the pasting & fixing. Little art like that gave them so much confidence & pride in their work that they cant wait to bring them to school to show to their friends. LOL :)

Happy Daddy's Day

Zac was down with a throat infection for the past 2 days. He had fever as high as 40.4 deg C on Sat early morning. The fever has finally gone down today. He sat down to draw something for Daddy. I'm trying to figure out from his drawing. He drew a few transportation on his drawing. There are single decker bus, double decker bus, MRT, taxi, Daddy's car & an aeroplane. He must have an impression that Daddy is always on the move so the picture best describe him? haha :D

He kept seeing "BIG buses" (double decker buses) on the road but has yet to board on one yet. I told him when he gets better, will bring him to hop on one. :):)

this is a miracle... ... is ONE year old & my Mother's Day present !!

I cant believe that my humble blog is ONE year old today. I started blogging on the same day last year. T0 date, I've got 286 posts, an average of 1 post per 1.5 days. Thanks to my visitor Ginger, Sparky & Crikit for reminding me :)

Also, I've got

Last night, I hinted to Zac that its Mother's Day this Sunday. I joked with him if he will be getting anything for me. This was our conversation.

Mama : Gor gor, its Mother's Day this Sunday, u'know?

Gor gor (Zac) : *surprised* Ah?

(Not too sure if his school did mentioned anything to him but he started to mumble something about flowers... ...)

Zac : Mama, I can draw flowers for you, color it & cut it out.

Mama : *shocked* WOW !! OK !! (first time he say he want to draw a flower for me. I'm so looking forward to his art)

Zac : (Went inside room & took out 2 small pieces of paper)

Mama : Such a small piece of paper? Mama WANT a BIG FLOWER (what a greedy Mama !!)

Zac : (apparently sensing Mama's disappointment, immediately went inside room again & ask Mama to help in getting him a Drawing Paper which is high UP on the cabinet) *Shouting* Mama, can help me get the BIG Paper?

Mama : (passing paper to Zac, of course not forgetting to give one to Amos too, else the two is going to fight) There you go...

Zac immediately put his hands on the drawing. He started off with drawing a BIG flower in the middle & label it "J" (I'm feeling so good ! Btw, he knows how to spell my name) Shortly, he drew another 3 flowers and label it "Z", "A" & "L" (The letters denote his name, Amos name & papa's name!! smart boy!!) .... ...

I was surprised how come still got a last flower which he pondered for a while before writing an "S" there. Hmmmmm.... .... (Answer will be at the end of the post)

Below are shots of his kiddish flower for me. LOLxxxxx
So sweet of him to draw it for me. Its a simple drawing but it kept me smiling all night... ... Thanks darling :)
While Zac was busy with the drawing, Amos was occupied with cutting his scribbled paper I gave to him.
Oh yes, Zac signed off the drawing not forgetting to mention Amos too. Such a kind brother :)




Did you noticed a red scar on Zac's face (slightly below his left eyes). He was bullied in school on Monday by his so called "good friend". I told Zac to refrain playing with him cos this is not the first time he hurt Zac. I'm furious knowing that he scratched Zac's face this time. Apparently, the boy's parents were being invited to school bcos of this. I understand that kids will tend to injure their friend accidentally but his "good friend" is really very mischievous. He was caught slapping onto Zac's head the other day & also using a chopstick to poke his nose. I send Zac to school yesterday in the hope of meeting the boy's parents but he did not attend school. Must be scare ah? He is such a bully !! :(:(

Before I end this, the "S" that Zac wrote was referring to our helper. Zac always treat her as part of our family. Such a honey & not forgetting to give a flower to Aunty Sri too :)

GOOD JOB, Zac :)
Mama is so proud of you, love ya :)

Red + Blue = Purple

This is how I show Zac that we can get Purple color by mixing red & blue.
How fun to learn the color combination through simple painting like that. Its a messy task but so long as the boy enjoys ... ... ;)

My first 3D model Car

Last mth, there was an assignment from Zac's school. The theme was transportation. Parents need to assist the child in doing up a 3D model of transportation using recycled materials.
Hubs not in town then. I had to visualize & build it up myself.
I used the empty boxes from the boy's food & the core from the toilet roll.

Then, I pasted some colored papers with the help from Zac just to beautify it. I cut the toilet roll core & Zac colored them using black color pencils.

Zac helped to paste the wheels & added in some stickers. I told Zac the bigger Chipmunk is mama & the smaller one is Zac sitting beside in the car.

I was shocked that Zac replied "Mama drive then brake.... I leaned forward like that !!"

I think he remembered the other day when I stepped rather hard on the brake & he got a shock. He leaned forward due to the braking force. I turned around & asked him if he's ok & said sorry to him. Such accidents tend to make the kid remember. Its really scary. I need to be more cautious... ....

I asked Zac if it looked like a car, he replied "Yes" & held proudly in his hands !!

This was my first attempt to make a 3D model. I did it in 15 mins. So glad that my boy thought it was good. That's so encouraging to me !! YAY !! :):)

Such funtime with the child at home doing some simple art craft is meaningful yet enriching ... ... :):)
