Yesterday was Margaux’s Choral Recitation in school.  It took us almost 2 weeks to memorize the poem below about the Falling Star.  Too bad, some parents were not allowed to go inside to watch our kids, only the homeroom representatives of each glass.  Hmp!  Next year, I should really volunteer myself to become the homeroom representative, hehehe.  That’s one of the perks, you know.  Apparently, even if I was giving a hint to the teacher, we weren’t allowed.  I just ended up working on my laptop in a nearby coffee shop while waiting for their dismissal. After the class, the teacher just handed me a picture from the choral recitation. (sorry for the blur, I just scanned it!)

Last Friday was Margaux’s UN Day in school.  As I said in my previous posts, I want the little girl to be in Ms. Spain costume.  Since the costume from her godmother is too big for her, I decided to have it made instead in a nearby seamstress.  I bought the materials in Carolina’s in Megamall with the total cost of only Php 300.00 because I only used Gina Silk and the very plain silk material.  Then the seamstress charged me Php 250 only for the labor!  I’m so happy with the turnout!  I printed out Spain’s flag and put it on a stick.  I also had a sash made for her too.

And since I also bought a Ms. Korea costume in SM as a back-up plan in case the Ms. Spain costume won’t be finished, I just had Bianca wore the costume also last friday and it was all good on her. 

My two girls…

Good thing the moms were allowed to take some snap shots of the kids before they went on a parade and activity inside their classrooms. They converted the 4 classrooms inside to different countries and each kid were given passports. They ate pizza in Italy. They learned basic skills in Taekwando in Korea. They did hula dancing in Hawaii and they made salsa and nacho in Mexico, which they brought home. Margaux was all happy to show me her passport.

Here are some more pics…

As I blogged about it here, I consumed my whole afternoon looking for a nice one for Margaux’s UN activity/parade this friday. Apparently, the costume which I am supposed to get from her ninang is too big for her. I’m thinking to just have it altered but then again, I tried my luck pa rin in the mall. I found a Ms. Korea costume in SM. Bought it but I already indicated in my reply note to her teacher that she would be Ms. Spain. Now that’s my dilemna. So I bought materials/fabric from Carolina’s and rushed it to a nearby seamstress in our place just tonight. I hope she would finish it on time. She said to pick it up Thursday night. I’m crossing my fingers as I really want Margaux in that spanish costume. Well, not exactly like this but this is the inspiration…

Leaving you first with a picture of the little girls from the MBAP party yesterday.  They had a blast playing in the pretty play room of Jane’s Sophia. Too bad the heated pool didn’t make it to complete construction so the kids didn’t have a chance to swim. Nevertheless, they love the vast playground in Jane’s mansion, lol! And my little Margaux was whispering to me that she wants a room like Sophie! Hihihi. Well, I said to her that she and Bianca can finally have one in the next couple of months. I’m just glad also that both Bianca and Margaux are now fully toilet-trained so I can let them sleep on their own room eventually without worrying about mattresses getting wet. Goodbye disposable diaper! What a great savings!

is the favorite play time of the kids now…

Happy Thursday!

Inspired by Aggie’s Post, I also found this cute picture of the little girls.

The precious models of my life!

we are seeing the pediatrician and we are even seeing a pulmo pedia since Margaux’s cough has been on for almost 2 weeks already. Despite the fact that we nebulize her regularly as advised by her pediatrician, I still notice occasional coughing. I really pray this is nothing serious and wouldnt even progress to an asthma so we won’t need a portable oxygen concentrator. We are almost done with her medications for primary complex and she is due for xray again next week. I hope she has already recovered from it.  Praying for the best!

I already posted this picture in my other blog but I just want to share that I have not been removing this from our door hardware, since I got it few weeks back.

Margaux has been bringing home a lot of artwoks from school and I just love collecting all of those. I bought an accordion folder to put everything in place. I’m kinda sentimental to these kind of things.

Also, it makes me feel home, after a long day of meetings whenever I see it hanging on our room door.

I’m one happy mommy because I have very sweet little girls.

I almost forgot to blog about Margaux’s Field Trip last Thursday, Sept 18 in Ark Avilon Zoo in Tiendesitas.  I’m so happy that I was one of the selected parent escorts.  Not all parents are requested to come.  The teachers only selected few.  In turn, I was tending to two toddlers, Margaux and her classmate Sophia.  It was so fun inside the bus.  The kids had a blast while singing some songs and participating to their teacher’s game questions.  

Some pictures here…

Margaux enjoyed so much in feeding the rabbits!  Look at her…

They also enjoyed some activities like painting of stones and playing around the area.

We ended up almost lunch time and all kids had a great time.  It was also nice to finally meet and chat with some other mommies.  

Looking forward to more school activities like this!

Margaux was a flowergirl to Dicky’s cousin, Neil who got married last night in Santuario de San Antonio in Forbes, Makati.  I rushed all the way from a wedding in Tagaytay so not to miss the start of the ceremony at 7pm.  I was giddy happy to see that the little girl was all in good mood and really walked her way up to the end of the red carpet in front during the processional.  Since I also helped out the newlyweds on the day of the wedding, I was busy at the back lining up entourage and coaching my daughter.  Dicky was assigned in taking pictures.  Gee, he doesn’t have decent pictures of the little girl while walking!  Kainis!  

So please bear with whatever pictures posted here.  (click to enlarge)

Margaux claimed herself to be called a  ”Princess Angel” last night because of her gown and the wings she wore for the wedding.
