Making bow for the first time!
5:48 PM
Last week i went to Walmart to get my first hot glue gun in BABY PINK!
It is a tiny one and cost about $2.80usd but works really really well imo
(i mean it is my first gun like i can't compare this with others right?)
I wanted to make a bow to match velle's minion outfit because bows selling at the mall
is so expensive now! Really?! $5 for a bow?
My first attempt, not too bad la...
So i proceed in making bows for the Liyi...
Couldn't find a perfect blue to match the yellow,
so i went ahead to buy this sparkly one.
Even the bow isn't quite balanced and flowy,
but i think i chose the right ribbon. I like the color combi.
I like this version the best, the ladies like it too,
so i made more.....
My creation, not super chio,
but practice makes perfect right? heehee
YAY!
Look like some Yorkie, candy said LOL!

Art week at North church summer camp
10:27 PM
This week is Art week at her summer camp.
Her school invited the parents to come earlier to view their works.
Each kid have their own "gallery" with the art they did.
So much effort and creativity from the kids! I love it!
I found her masterpiece!
Her class teacher feedback to me that she is really good with drawing and painting,
she sits there for 30 mins still just to make sure it turn out nicely.
So very proud.
My fav piece of work amongst all.
Daddy's fav!
We were allowed to bring all these home and I paste it right outside her room.
TOO CUTE!

MORE swim lessons
9:00 PM
We continued another 8 lessons with Ms Irma,
so happy to have her as their swim teacher because she's so great with kids,
and the little ones trust her so much...
I have to say chlovelle improved a whole lot and now,
she don't even ask for her float anymore.
Ms Irma have spilt the class into 2,
4 year olds in a group and two older ones in another.
So now, the 4 year olds sort of encourage each other,
and push each other to learn better.
Never regret sending for her swim lessons (:

But practice makes perfect right?

6th Swim lesson with Ms Irma
12:59 PM
Yesterday the kiddos had their 6th swim lesson with Ms Irma,
and we see big improvements!
So chlovelle start of being very scared of the water,
she don't dare to put her head in the water & she hates it when water goes in her ears.
Before every lesson she will sob quietly but i'll ignore it lol!
Anyways ytd after the lesson i went down the pool with the 2 youngest girls and they started
blowing bubbles, swimming under water to me after a lot of encouragement.
IT WAS SO COOL~
Big improvement from velle!
hahaha! all our kids! 10 of them!

2nd car ! Toyota Camry... again
10:54 AM
Hurray!
I finally gotten my car last WED (3rd July)
Hubby finally decided on an acceptable car for me WHEEE~!
So initially we feel that we can work around with only 1 car,
but after velle started going to school daily,
plus hubby's work hours isn't fix, we decided we needed a 2nd car.
Or rather, i wanted a car so i can fetch velle to school.
She have been on half days on alternate weeks,
and I have to rush to and fro to fetch her so hubby can use his car for work.
Chlovelle's school is 20mins away from our home, so to and fro takes around 40 mins
then after cooking and rushing for 2 hrs, i need to go fetch her back.
VERY TIRING, so don't feel and think we got a 2nd car FOR FUN.
Because this "fun" is tag along with road tax, insurance, servicing and gas money.
They both look exactly the same, i know LOL
Our couple car *loves*
Thank you hubbs!
