Oh my – i forgot to blog about Father’s Day…

So Father’s Day was 2 weekends ago & i completely forgot to show off what we did this year.
This year’s Father’s Gift (all the kids in church got to make this too) is inspired by Nino, over at Cease Cows, Life is Short. She made Candy Bouquets for her gals’ teacher’s end-of-year gifts – so i follow suit & we made Sweet Bouquets for the dads.

Here’s the sample i made up for the kids to follow (not as full with sweets as it should be but we do have 30 kids & limited budget – so i had to settle for 1 Sweet for Dad & 1 sweet for the kid):

Here’s the one which Tobias made for Daddy – Tobias waited patiently till we got home & Daddy took his sweet before having his own 😉

Dads have a most special place in my heart – My Dad is My Hero, My Inspiration!
My husband is my son’s Hero as well – they simply love each other to bits & i simply love watching them love each other.
My hubby is My Strength & i Thank God daily for him.

Happy Belated Father’s Day…

See i’m once again late with my greetings to all Daddys!
Walter is away in US so we sent kisses over the Messenger – we will also be mailing him a card tomorrow – shhhh…. don’t tell him – actually i don’t think he’ll even log on here to read our blog – hahhaha 😉 so funny when he was the one who started this blog.
Here’s a little poem for all Fathers out there:

The things you taught me I will always know.
How could I not? The roots have sunk so deep:
All lessons of the heart that I will keep
No matter who I am or where I go.
Kids learn from what their parents are, and so
You are my book of life, the thoughts I reap;
Only in your arms I quiet sleep;
Under my words your voice sings soft and slow.
From you I learned the rules of right and wrong
Against which I at times had to rebel,
Though with regret I carry with me still.
How lucky I am to have been loved so well,
Even as I pushed against your will,
Relying on a father fair and strong.

Baby-Free Day

From Friday 7.45pm till Saturday 6.45pm, we (Mummy & Daddy) were baby-free! That’s almost 24hrs without baby. It was a trial-run for next weekend when we will leave him for 2x nites!!

Tobias had lots of fun – he had lots of little friends to play with – didn’t even asked for us once!! We … or at least me had wanted to call & check after about 15hrs – but Walter said,” NO!” so we didn’t call & i think it went well – it was good for us & good for Tobi! It felt funny thot – at least for me as i have never left Tobi for more than 10hrs before this. i was buying lunch on Saturday & thot what can i get which he (tobi) can eat, then had to stop myself & tell myself he’s not with us today!

My muscles are painful from the half day of trying to remember how to ski – i went on skis for the 1st time 3 years ago & have not done any skiing since then so it was hard work but i’m happy to report that skiing is much like riding a bike in that you don’t forget the basics. Of cos i was not the most graceful person on the slopes but at least i got down the slope.

So it looks like we’ll be all set for the coming weekend – we go for the company ski weekend & Tobi goes to the Bachmanns & have lots of fun playing with their little gals.

In the meantime, this coming week (at least the next 4days) will have to be hubby-free as Walter is away for work. Sigh!
