A Day of Firsts

For the first time ever, Mark and I left both the kids with our friend Jocelyn. We had some errands to do and I had to be at a baby shower. So for the first time, I went out without my hubby and kids. I would say it was fun, a little overwhelming as it was a new experience for me. It was only for a couple of hours, I think I checked on Mark only twice but I surely missed my babies. It's good to be out though and have fun but for some reason I'm not used to not having my family around anymore. I'm happy though that Lei agreed to go to her Ninang Jocelyn's house, it was her idea anyway because she wanted to play with Mac. She's always been with me and when Lance goes on a play date she doesn't usually come or she'd ask me to stay with her. I'm just amazed with her progress and many thanks to our dear friend Jocelyn for having them. She is really good with kids and Lei adores her. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.

And now that Lei is not too clingy with me anymore, maybe Daddy and Mommy can finally go out on a date :D Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Precious Moments

tidying up a bit while Lance is in school

I love those hours that Lance is in school, I do miss him but I know he's happy in school and that is such a huge relief for me. I just make the most out of those few hours and get busy (with unfinished chores) but before I could do any of these, I make sure first that my little girl is busy or those few hours will just pass, and I hate it when I don't get some things done.

busy playing Boowa and Kwala

It's the same thing when Lei is asleep. I get to spend some quality time with Lance, we eat together, or just cuddle up together in front of the TV.

My whole day basically revolves around these two. There maybe less quiet times or some 'Me' time but who cares? Having them around keeps me going, keeps my blood pressure up and my vocal chords exercised.

Busy Kids = A Happy Mom

As much as I enjoy bonding with my two children, I am also thankful for the rare moments that they get so preoccupied with some activities. Forget the mess as a result of their 'activities.' It is during this time that they learn how to be creative, use their imagination and enjoy themselves while I get to enjoy some 'me' time even if it's just for a few minutes.
