Busy Day

Today we were planning to just chill out and cleaning, but we ended up went to Hasting to see Daddy & Pappa, Mommy even got a cookie from Baba :) Thanks Baba.

Then we went to lunch and walmart, mommy need a super saver space bag since mommy just cleaned up Carissa's closet. After that Carissa took a nap till 2:30, then off we went to drop off daddy's work out stuff.

We actually went to the park for lil bit, but it's still too cold so we decided to leave and went to Mr. & Mrs. Wright place. It's been a while since Carissa went there for a visit :).

Now we're home, mommy making supper and Icha watching Bolt :) waiting for daddy to come home.

Bilibo

Okay... I know... that Carissa already have so many toys... yes we're so aware of it. But this toy is just so cool!!! it called Bilibo, Miss Judy from Kindermusik actually introduced us this toy at the class last week. So I had to get one for Icha.

This toy is so awesome to expand her imaginary skills. :D It can be a hat, rock, chair, shell, dog, whatever you want it to be.

Weekend...

Let's see....

Saturday:
We gave Daddy's some sleeping time in the morning, so Carissa and I went to e e so (Vone's) house. No idea why but Carissa calls her e-e-so, we got there around 8:50am and then we went to Fareway to get some fresh fruits to make pancakes and smoothies.


But I ended up making an un-healthy breakfast.. I made Martabak, it's basically an Indonesian pancake, it has chocolate-cheese-sweet condensed milk in the middl and you fold the pancake into half.

Ringga joined us too since she lives only few blocks away from Vone's house.

Here's what Martabak looks like:


Then around 11:30-ish we headed back home... Carissa fell asleep in the car for few minutes, so when we got home she refused to take a nap.

Around 2:00 mommy had a make up party at Elaine's house, while daddy watched & played with Carissa.

I think that's it on Saturday.

Sunday:
Carissa and I went to church in the morning so Carson got some more sleep in the morning, Carissa actually did much better in the nursery. They told me that she had some melt down at the beginning, she cried till she spit up and ruined her tights... *sigh* but finally some lady sat and read to her and after that she was okay. Even when I picked her up from the nursery she was all smiley and greeted me with a big smile in her face and no tears!!

So we will try again next week... :) I think it's good for me too, since usualy when I'm already up and Carson still sleeping... I'm just mad at him for sleeping.. I guess I don't like seeing him sleeping while I'm awake.

Anyway, I couldn't find my other camera, so I can upload the pictures from yesterday.

Last night we went to the wrestling banquet, Carissa was so happy when people were clapping for the coaches. :) She even asked for more clapping :). The best part of the banquet was, she got lots of balloons!! :)

Great creative book

Today I was soooo bored and didn't have any motivation to get out of the house at all. But finally we went to a store and then to the library. While Carissa playing, I browsed for a fun & creative book to entertain Carissa. So I found this book! I was going to borrow a First Art for kids book, but they all checked out.

So I found this book instead.. it has a LOT of fun ideas with cheap stuff too, one of the ideas that I'm trying right now is a 'early morning fun' basically you can use a basket or small plastic crate (I used a lil hand bag), and stuffed it with lil toys that safe for your kid to play with unsupervised. So tomorrow morning when she gets up before I got up, she can find that bag and play with the toys in it. Hopefully can occupied her for a good 15-20 mins so I can put my contacts on first and get ready.

I think this book is a must to have book! :)

Carissa's Room

Yesterday we went to Target and found this cute peel and stick wall decoration for $9.99. Now her room looks like a kids room :). But the problem is, I think they designed this stickers for a flat surface while our house have textured wall. So it keep on falling off.

Let me know if you have any suggestion how to keep it stick on the wall. Maybe some transparent glue or something that easy to be removed too.
