Today was Ms. Chloe’s Math Game with parents day and I barely made it for the last 30 minutes. Though I missed her presentation in the beginning she was so happy to see me there. Balancing work and family is getting more difficult as kids are getting older… and it was one of those days today.

Sweaters: Jack Spade for GapKids camo tree sweater

Making a pot roast for dinner tonight

Thanks for spending the weekend with us!

she’s a sloooooow eater and a not very graceful eater sometimes….(well actually, most of the times) especially with those giant gaps in-between her teeth eating spaghetti can be (not a pretty) challenge.

Sorry sweetie, I had to take the picture so I can show this to your daughter one day. 🙂

We’re playing Dr. Feel-einstein game.  Kids have to put their hands in each numbered bag and guess which part of body parts they are feeling.

In the bags were:

• Dried Apricots – Tongues
• Cooked, Cold Spaghetti Noodles – Hair
• Peeled Grapes – Eyeballs
• Peeled Tomato – Heart
• Candy Corns – Teeth
• Baby Dill Pickles – Nose
• Cauliflower – Brain
• Slime – Booger (the best one!)

The facial expressions were priceless!

Then, make Mummies : This is about to get really messy…

Kids decorated their own candy apples.
