MONICK'S BABY SHOWER

I finally got to do something without eddie or the girls so so nice! The baby shower was decorated so nice and the cake balls were to die for! Love baby showers and cant wait for my own!

A few pictures I borrowed from brandie's photo album:

PARK PICNIC WITH MONICK AND LILLY (wed. 17)

We spent a few hours at the park with monick and lilly, we brought our lunches and let the girls run and play. Nice excerise for them and me since lei lei and lilly decided this park wasnt cool enough for them and would take off..lol This week we've been so busy with doctor appts for me and tune up / oil change for suv, also dealing with this slumlord. Life is a lil hectic, and its also hard when my camera is acting up!

A VALENTINE'S DAY TO REMEMBER

The girls spent the night at grama's so and eddie and me could enjoy our valentine's day. We started with breakfast in seal beach, and we walked all of main street and up and down the pier. After we had ice cream at cold stone, yum! Then as we were leaving eddie handing me a valentine's themed bag which inside had a 2 rings, engagement and band. I put on both and were fleeing to vegas after the baby is born to get married, with 3 girls we dont need the wedding rather save it and have a hella of time in vegas :0)

PAYTON AND HER CUTE TIGHTS

PLAY AREA

I HAVE A SLUMLORD..

And I dont say this lightly, as before we had many problems in the above apartment, things are going downhill in the below apartment, I've asked several times for these things to be fixed and its excuse after excuse. I just wrote a formal letter, dicussing the problems that need to be fixed asap, and a timeline, of course with my mom being paralegal I document everything, and take pictures. On the other hand it has pushed me to start looking for a house, well the search is going but hard to find one in under 2000 a month price range. I looked at 5 so far and been actively looking for a couple weeks now. Need some prayers, I will take my time though and find the right house and the right landlord! What have the girls been up to ? Tot school and crafts and family time with the inlaws, plus lei lei's super late and put off birthday party is friday, and its really small but will be fun, I bought lots of fun stuff for gift bags, and super cute decorations, she's really excited! Me?! well im preggo 19 weeks and have two girls and another girl on the way, so im busy and worn out and tired but I keep going day in day out. The paranormal stuff and disappeared for now, lei lei's sleeping through the night for almost 2 weeks since the room was blessed again. Which is such a relief and I dont feel anything anymore, which now I can sleep!

USING THEIR TAG SYSTEM TOGETHER

SUPERBOWL AND A BLOODY NOSE

On sunday we went to a superbowl party at visna's brother's house. They have 3 kids so the girls always have someone to play with. Well like usual lei lei was being daring and jumping off their stairs and fell leaving her with a bloody nose. We ended up leaving early to get her home and calm her down and give her some tylneol. After we got home we rented the movie THIS IS IT micheal jackson. Angelina is a huge fan and couldnt stop dancing and singing and copying his moves, I was very impressed ..lol I took two video's of it but for some reason they wont upload, any tips on fixing this???

DATE NIGHT AT THE GUN RANGE

It was eddie's turn for choice of date nite. He picked the gun range, well I can't shoot preggo but I so wanted to do, Eddie did about 200 rounds and helped with loading and his marksmenship. It's called INSIGHT in Artestia, really affordable and if you dont own a gun its only $10 to rent and you can try different ones! Eddie was using his bro in laws 9mm but I wanted to see a 44mag or maybe a 357. I can't wait not to be preggo and be able to shoot, seems like a stress reliever. After we headed for Roadhouse grill for dinner, yum! It was packed but ended up being a 20 min wait. Eddie invited lyn and visna over for a movie , we rented Zombieland. I loved it and want to buy it. It was funny and scary. It was so late they spent the night and visna had to borrow a pair of pj pants from eddie well visna wears size m and eddie wears xxl! Plus we need to do laundry and all he had was heart bottoms..haha I forgot to mention the girls were with my mom and grams for the night..lol Nice break. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO BUT IT JUST WONT! I GIVE UP...

OUR TOT SCHOOL FOR THE WEEK

This week we did alot of stuff and included lei lei in everyone of the activities. Alot of the idea's we used this week we borrowed from jill's tot school playdate, I wanted angelina to try all these and lei lei to try them again. I had to hit up all of the hotspots for supplies, alan party supply, target, joann's and the dollar store. I prepared all of them for the week, so when it was time I was quick and ready! Eddie helped out too, and was impressed with what the girls could accomplish in one week, He did question why is angelina going to preschool when I could be teaching her like this at home and probibly better than them. It is a question I need to think about...

First activity was these glittery heart stems from the dollar store and a round piece of strofoam, I marked holes and had the girls match up the sticks with the holes.



Next we did these 6 mini hearts with a 6 plastic organizer and a pair of metal tongs. I bought the items at joann's.




Then we did the salt shaker actiivty with tissue paper, flower beads and pipe cleaners. This challenging for lei lei with lil patience she can do it every time, angelina it wa easy but made her count out 3 beads for each pipe cleaner to make it a lil harder.



We also did a sugar shaker with glitter pipe cleaners, all they had to do was put them in the holes.



The the letter were learning about is F and they did a couple of worksheets on these, like letter tracing, coloring a fish etc...



Next I traced heart earsers with a pin on cardstock and had lei lei match up the 4 hear shapes, for angelina I did numbers 1-4 on the earsers and on the carstock I mixed the numbers order up for a more challenging activity.





Daddy did a heart sticker matching on cardstock, for angelina I did two different heart patterns that she had to copy by order and color, and for lei lei I did a simple big to small hearts, This activity lasted a good 20 mins with all the combinations of angelina's.





Since angelina's activity took longer I was prepared for another for lei lei, I had 3 small red plates with big, medium and small labeled on them and a bag full of 3 different sized pom pom's. She like this activity alot and spent a good amount of time on it.



Angelina still had her worksheets to do for her name tracing and a couple valentine activity sheets I had her do.


I did these 8 lil plastic container hearts with 1-8 written on the inside and and top of them, also picked up some different red buttons, lei lei I just had do 4 of them, but angelina I had do all eight and when it was clean up time had them match the tops to the bottoms.



A easy activity we did, I used a recycled pasta sauce jar and some plastic fake baby clothes pins and some tongs, the idea was to get all the pins in the jar before the timer of one minute was up, it ended up being a really fun acitivity.



One of our new activities was sweeping! I bought at the dollar store a small broom and dust pan and had some white buttons, I had both of them sweep them up and empty them in a container, quite challenging for a two yr old, she kept spilling them everywhere.




Our last activity I brought out my saved caps collection and let the girls play with them, I had angelina and lei lei sort by colors then sizes.



In the end the girls asked for more to do, which we did so much! Hoping for another sucessful week.
