Halloween part 2 & 3

Part 2 is at school...

Maddie's pre-school was resumed this week after a week of hiatus last week. If you could believe it, a small plane hit her school (imagine 9/11 but on a smaller scale) the pilot died and only 2 people are injured. So the teacher called on Monday to make sure that everyone wore their costumes to class on Tuesday. They made pumpkins out of paper, and the teacher had them decorate their own treat bags and they had a few trick or treating stations in the classroom. Here are the pics



Part 3 is a the mall...

This is our first time to go to Richmond Center to trick or treat and I think this will be our last time. There was a lot of shoving and it was just TOO busy for us. Since the mall was only handing out candies between 6 & 7, when we got there at 530pm the whole food court was PACKED with people sitting, eating dinner and just waiting for the candies to start coming. And as soon as 6pm hit, the older kids started running towards whatever store they saw that was handing out candy. Maddie and I didn't make it to too many stores I just wanted her to experience what trick or treating was all about. I think next year we will go and join Monique at her place for trick or treating. I would've taken a picture at the mall but i was too worried about losing Maddie. Here are our pictures at home.

Trick or Treat Part 1

We (Erin and I) took Maddie to Steveston Village for some trick or treating, since it was a nice day we took advantage of the little sunshine that we had. Sophia (the Zebra) and Uncle B came along for the walk about... we had a great time. I think I walked Maddie a little too long cause my little girl has a little blister on her pinky toe :o(

Success!!!

Sorry for the long absence, I've just been a little busy since i last posted but have not had the chance to post anything.

First of all, Congrats to Van, Andrew and Aidan on their latest arrival Baby Carmina Isabelle weighing in at 9.5lbs. Wow.. I'm glad it was you Van who pushed her out and not me! Haha. Also to Jen & Art Dy for their new baby boy Richard Benjamin Calubad Dy weighing in at almost 6 lbs. Sleepless nights here we come...

Secondly, Cha here are some pictures from Maddie's activites...since you were accusing me of slacking off here they are!






Finally, i just want to share the good news..Maddie pooped in her little potty today!!! But she actually peeed in the toilet last Sunday night. After waiting for 30 min she finally peed! And as a reward she got to flush the toilet! Woooohoooo... actually after 15min of sitting in the bathroom with her i was already to give up, but then she kept on insisting that she wants to pee so good thing she persisted. Am so proud of her...i hope this is the road to a successful potty training! Wish us luck!

have a good week everyone...

Maddie's first day in preschool for 2 year olds!

I can't believe Maddie's already going to school, well not school school but play school. Literally that's what it is. That's what they did today. I guess it gives them some sort of structure like playtime, clean up, circle time, snack time and playtime again. She had lots of fun. Here are the pictures c/o Lanie. Jamie's (Maddie's classmate) mommy.

Van's Surprise Baby Shower

We (Dionne, Adele & I) managed to plan a surprise baby shower for Van & Andrew yesterday. We could not have done it without everyone else involved. Edwin, The Lee's, Ninang BB, Emily, Mimi and Dina & Ali. Oh yes, how can i forget the ever so early Rita & Rollie. Thank you to everyone and hope you had lots to eat. I'm still have to work off the halo-halo I have consumed. It was so delicious we all had seconds am sure. Anyways, without further ado...here are the pictures...

Things I would NOT do without a child....

I have a confession, I have never flown a kite ever in my life, till today. Well I didn't technically fly it Cox did. I was just the token photographer. We took Maddie to Gary Point Park. I was a perfect kite flying day. When we got there, we were not the only ones who thought it was a great day for kites. Here are the pictures...but before that..I just wanted to say that when Cox handed over the kite for Maddie to hold, after a few seconds she decides to let go of it, so Cox had to sprint to run after the runaway kite! Funny!

Until next time..

Have a great LONG weekend.

Lets hear it for the girls...

Our friends Jen & Randell just had a baby girl. Mikayla Isabelle 7lbs 9 oz. Both baby and mommy are doing well. Congratulations Jen & Randell. I will upload a picture of the baby as soon as I get one.

On a sad note, we found Maddie's fish, Jupjup dead in her tank this am. I think we will have to replace her because Maddie was asking about her and I told her that she was sleeping *wink* *wink*. So i guess Cox will have to take care of the burial of the fish alone, while i figure out a way to replace the fish inconspicouously. Hmmmm.... should we name the "new" fish jupjup too? Hmmmmmmm...

Sorry I have not been able to post anything lately been a little busy with something. Will let you in on it after the long weekend...stay tuned..
