We were at Walmart and this 19” TV was on sale. When Finn saw it, he said “This will be perfect in my room!” Coz what he currently has in his room is a 13” tube TV. So we said it was gonna be his early birthday gift.
We already installed some of the games that he’s been playing on our phones. And daddy gets a big kiss. He’s been asking for a phone for a while now. Although this means that he won’t have gifts to open on his actual birthday =P
This is Finn’s 4th Grade class singing Christmas Island and 12 Days of Christmas at the school’s Holiday Program this morning.
Finn’s first diorama project is about the Lenape Indians, the original New Jerseyans. This was due today and Finn said that he got an A for it (^_^) Good job mommy! Well, I did all the cutting and printed the background, plus the little plot of farm. Finn planned out the space, then went shopping with me for some of the materials. The trees and plants for the farm we got from our yard. The longhouse interior is a butter container that we wrapped with felt and flexible stems. The sparkly water is made from foil and blue cellophane gift wrap. The grass is made from scrub sponges then we put deer moss on top of floral foam to stick the branches for trees. Finn did all the taping and gluing. Cool huh!
There were no plans with friends this year so it was a quiet Thanksgiving for us. The only thing I made was the mashed potatoes =P Everything was prepared by Jojo. We ate while watching animes. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hello Siri! We’ve never paid for our phones, well, except for the very first one we had here back in 2001. After that, we always get the free phones. So Jojo thought it was ok to splurge on this one (^_^)
We weren’t able to take a drive to see the fall foliage this year because of the wonky weather. But I took these as Raven and I were walking home from school this morning, after we dropped Finn off.
This morning, my managing director called me and she was really excited, saying that they’re filming Batman in Newark and that she and her daughter are going there, did I want to come along … of course! Good thing I had showered already and was dressed for the day =P So they came to pick me up and we went to Newark. First thing we saw were all these squad cars and swat trucks and armored cars …. OMG!!! It was sooooo coooollll!
Then as we were walking around looking for the set, my MD spoke with Jerry the sound guy who pointed us towards to the park where Batman and Catwoman were. So we went, it was freezing, and we had to stand there waiting for a glimpse of them. We only saw Anne Hathaway … or rather her long black hooded coat and her hands =P We were probably out in the cold for about 3 hrs, then had lunch and I had to go home after lunch to pick-up Finn from school.
Seeing those squad cars were really awesome and I wanted to sneak inside, hehehe. What would have made the day even better was if we saw the Batmobile.
We didn’t really teach her this. We just asked Raven to look for Finn and she did! Then we asked her to look for Jojo, and then me and she just understood (^_^) So smart!
