I am Ready!

I was teaching my daughter basic math in our front yard last Thursday and we had so much fun. My son is not very interested in learning things yet so he was just running around playing. I asked Rylie if she is ready to go to school and she was so confident when she told me " I am ready."
It's funny when we are doing math because she is using all her fingers and toes as a calculator lol. I would love for you to see the video I recorded but for some reason it would not upload here and I am very disappointed. It is very hard for me to upload a video that is why I seldom post an article with video.

Since the video of our math lecture wouldn't ulpoad, I will just share this music video of Marian Rivera that my daughter love to dance. She also starting to memorize the lyrics. Again, I have recorded a video while she was dancing but it would not..... grrrrrrrrrrrrr...

What's in a Bubble...

that makes children want to play with it over and over again? I don't think there are kids out there who did not want blowing bubbles in their childhood. My daughter can play with it the whole day. When we were in West Virginia, her Aunt Chris always bring her different kinds of scented bubbles. We bought each of them a bottle when we went to the mall the other week. EJ dumped his on the ground lol but Rylie was in her glory blowing it.

I would not want to be a bubble because your life span is just a matter of seconds hehehe..






Have a great week everyone!

The Closing Costs

Since the market is down with the housing market, my husband suggested if we could refinance our loan so that we could get a lower interest rate for our home loan. So we used this calculator online which determines the Closing Costs that we have to pay. I did not like it because the closing cost that we have to pay is very high. It's true that we can get a lower interest rate but they will hammer us with the fee.

I find this website that has a lot of tips about closing cost and other stuff about housing loan. One of their article that I did not know before is the Title Insurance. This title insurance ensures the property owner the protection from losses that could result from disputes over who actually owns the property.

You can also find a closing agent, closing attorney, appraisers, and real estate attorney that could help explain to you everything that you need to know about the legal process of this transaction. Aside from the above mentioned services, they also offers geotechnical engineering, land surveyor services, notary, pest inspection, transaction coordinator and other services. So visit the site if you want to know more about estimating your closing cost.

Read on the Wild Side

The Library inside the base sponsors program every year for kids. This year's reading program was dubbed as "Read on the Wild Side." Whoever reads a great number of books has prizes. Me and Rylie read her books at home but I always forgot to log it in the paper so we did not get any prize hehehe. But as a participant, both of them got each a shirt and pencils.. Rylie got a certificate.
Herre's the certificate and other blahs..
Last year's reading program was dubbed as... That's Rylie's certificate for last year.
Here she is modeling the shirt lol.. Good job reading Rye. Speaking of reading, I was teaching her to read three letter words yesterday but after a while she got tired and said "I am not ready for a lot of stuff Mom." I felt guilty that I was pushing her too much into learning.
Today is suppose to be a family weekend day but hubby is in training so me and the kids just went outside and play a little bit, taught Rylie some basic Math and then we came in, it sooooo hot outside! Happy weekend everyone!

Eye Twitch Problem

Can eye twitch problem be a genetic problem. There is a family at my mother's place who has two kids and all of them have problems with their eyes. They do not have an eyesight problem but they do have concern with their eyes twitching problem. I just find it odd that bot of their kids have it. I asked the mom if they take the kids to the hospital and have it checked but they said that they can't afford the expenses.

I feel bad because when those kids grow up, they will be very conscious s with their physical aspects. But do you know that there's a cure or treatment for it? If you know someone that is suffering from this, you should recommend them the eye-twitch.org website.

Trick or Treat Time!

Every year, the base sponsors a big Halloween Party for the kids which even includes a haunted house and trick-or-treating. Finding a Halloween costume in Korea was difficult because they don't celebrate this occasion in Korea. Thinking ahead, I started searching for halloween costumes online and a stumbled upon this really awesome website that specializes in costumes and all types of party items. Our daughter is fascinated with the Disney Princesses and all kinds of pixies and fairies so I'm sure this will be the theme for her costume. My son likes Diego, Bob the Builder, and anything military so he will fall into this type of theme. After browsing the huge selection of costumes at pinatas.com, my children and I were able to locate dozens of potential costumes based on their preferences. I noticed a little devil costume which reminded me of a couple of Halloweens back when we dressed our son as a little devil and he was absolutely adorable and a big hit while trick-or-treating.

If you are looking for a costume for any occasion, check out pinatas.com. They offer a huge selection of costumes and party favors for most occasions and their prices are unbeatable. They even offer free shipping on orders over $50 if you use the code "pppfree". Halloween is right around the corner so don't procrastinate and end up with a last-minute costume that you really don't like.

When it's Raining...

TGIF! Friday to me is an exciting day. Why? Because, it is the last workday of the week for hubby and its Mommy Moments! This week's theme is "Rain, Rain, Go Away". Since we do not take pictures outside on rainy days, I will just post some activities that we do on rainy days.My husband and our kids are always playing outside when the weather permits, but when it's raining.. we either play dress-up, play in the box, or bake something. The first set of photos were taken last year when we had a pretty hard rain in here. We always have a stock of cake box mix in our pantry so hubby and daughter baked it.
I am not very fond of baking... but hubby and Rylie are..proud of her creation....
she usually puts the icing.
It's not the most fancy cake you would ever see but for me its the most perfect, because it was made with love!
Since they are bored to death and can not go outside because of the rain, they got a little bit creative of what to play. They love playing inside this empty balikbayan box.
They make it their bedroom, living room, or play area.
and dining room or kitchen...
See they even have an improvised door lol..
Welcome to our HOME!
Thanks for dropping by everyone! Your comments are greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend!

My daughter's dream Dollhouse

I find my self giggling all the time whenever my daughter is telling me stuff that I never imagine she is capable of thinking at her age. One day she told me that when she is big enough and already have a job, she would buy us an extra car and a house that is bigger than what we have right now. I find it amazing that a four-year old girl is already thinking of those stuff.

I asked her what kind of house is she going to get us and she said to me "Well, I have to figure out first my own design." She said that she can start by building her own dollhouse which will later be the model of the house that she want's to get. I said "that's a very clever idea!" So now, we have to find this doll house that she can build hehehee. Luckily I found Zoolabees Dollhouse Miniature where they sell a great selection of dollhouse accessories, dollhouse furniture, dollhouse kits, dolls, dollhouse lighting, miniature curtains, landscaping, wallpapers, and they even have a dollhouse pet supplies.

I showed her the Zoolander's collection and she got very excited. She said "Oh boy, I know now what am I going to ask from Santa." So I told her that if Santa see her good deeds, she is going to get the doll house that she is dreaming to build on her own. It's funny because after our conversation, ever morning when she wakes up, she is making her bed and announced it to us. She is even making our bed too. It is not that well-arranged but I am so happy that my daughter is growing up very responsible.

Now I have to fulfill "Santa's" job in Christmas. To get my daughter her dream dollhouse!

Bonding with the nature...Again!

We head out to the our favorite hide out lake last Sunday. My daughter brought some slices of bread to feed to the fish. I think the fishes there loved us already lol. They were jumping for joy while Rylie was throwing the small pieces of bread to them. It is so much fun watching them eat. John and EJ went for a walk already and me and Rylie were still enjoying the fishes' company and of course we took some pics lol.
Here we go fish, ready, get set, catch!
no more bread, so its time to click!
Mommy's share lol.
And EJ.. with Mommy's sunglasses.
After the fish adventure is the walkathon for our exercise.


Korean's never wast a piece of land without a plant. Here are some pepper..
water theraphy and FUN! Leaping like a frog, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.
My son wanted to submerge into the water lol.
Resting a little bit, our armpits are sweaty from all that walking hahaha.
Before going to our favorite resto, my daughter used this cute but very clean restroom at the park. This is one of the many things that I like in Korea. They do take care of their people. It is a shame but whenever we go to the Phils, even in big malls, there are no tissues available and sometimes the restrooms are filthy.Call me weird but I love the formation of this tree. This tells us something, never give up!
Nothing special, i just love the pattern of the water going down hehehe.
Have a fruitful day everyone!
