Homework

The Tatapilla seldom needs help to do his homework. It's more a guidance on where to writer stuff rather than what to. If left up to him, he will write the answers to all the questions in one long big sentence. At school, I was told that they have a reward system that if the homework is returned on or before it was due, they get points. At the end of the week, these points are being tallied-up so the student can get something from the surprise box. The surprise box contains small toys and school supplies like rubbers, pencils or fancy sharpener....

Star Wars

With the coming new Star War movie, one of the free to air telly channels have been showing the star war series.  The Tatapilla is quite taken with Anakin.  On the third episode, he came to me with watery red eyes.  "Anakin died".  Then proceeded sniffling and eventually crying.  I consoled him.  "He's my favourite".  Oh dear, more crying.  He went back to watch the telly again and found out that Ani didn't died but Padme Amidalla died instead.  "I don't likee Ani anymore".  Why, I asked.  "Because...

Our vet moved clinic so we went to this new one.  We were there to get Moe's scheduled vaccine.  They have cats - around four.  There are gingers and of course the grey.  Of them all, the grey was the most playful.  The three gingers were siblings we were told.  The grey was always reaching out for us while standing.  Mcj is a sucker for girl cats - must be wanting a little girl.  Lol.  We applied for...

Australia Zoo Visit

In the Tatapilla's first year, their field trip to excursion if you may call it that was at Australia Zoo.  I went with them, not in the bus but I drove.  Funny that he didn't want to go with me.  Obviously, the bus is more fun than driving with me.  He had fun.  Me not so much.  Unfortunately, I was not prepared with a lot of walking and the warm weather. Lesson well learned.The Christmas Present MistyIt wasn't planned.  As our routine when we are at the shops, we would drop by the pet shop to look at the animals...

It's school holidays and the Tatapilla has been staying home.  Nothing much was planned as I can't take anymore days off from work.  We're just making the most of weekends.  Even then, there are a lot of chores to do that we hardly go out.  It's no matter with our little boy though.  He's happy to play at home with a neighbour friend.  Last weekend though we went to an event in our area.  Watched fireworks and played...

Football Boots

I called them my mother's day presents for this year.  Why?  Because he got them on Mother's day.  And what did I get?  I can't even remember.  :)And just like everything else that he owns, it's all the type.  He's been using them and taking them to school for a few weeks.  Now?  I'm not even sure where are they.  I was told, they're on the shoe rack. At least, they're at home.  But yeah, we are planning...

Not a Happy Week

the flu season is here and the Tatapilla was just subjected to it.  He's missed school for three days.  I have convinced him to go to school on Friday despite of the sniffles.  Share the love, I'd say. So while not in school, he'd been tagging along with Dad or staying home with granddad.  He's a lot better now but still got those pesky sniffles and blocked nose.  He doesn't like taking meds which I am really okay with.  I reckon, he needs rest more than any meds. &nb...
