Chloe and Shane both love to draw and paint. So we decided to make our own art gallery wall in the toy room to display their wonderful art works.

Our kitchen nook has their arts too. The far left drawing of ‘Chloe and Shane’ by Chloe makes me smile every time I see it.

We went over to the Wei’s for a play date today.

They prepared make-your-own-pizza lunch which was really fun for the kids.

Gotta get more cheese!

Mr. Andrew was in charge of the oven department.

They also did lots of craft projects.

Now the tasting part!

Yum!

Then they went out side and did egg hunting.

hint! hint!

They found tons of eggs.

Love that smile.

Shane’s singing to get more eggs from auntie SJ.

endless counts of candies…

Now decorating more eggs.

My attempt to do ombré effect…

Cute moment: Shane, playing with baby Mikaela.

I wasn’t able to soothe her but Andrew did. He still got that magic touch.

Thank you guys for another fun-packed day!

Chloe drew my mom in her  new “book”.  She thinks my mom is the most beautiful person. So sweet.

Her first book is called ‘The Zoo’ which is inspired by her favorite book ‘Put me in the Zoo’ by Dr. Seuss. She said, we can take turns taking it for business trips.

This is me.

Chloe: Mommy I really want to say the “F” word to you but I’m trying not to say it.

Me: What?!?! What F word? What are you talking about? (freakin out)

Chloe: … (smiles)

Me: Ms. Chloe, tell me what the F word is. Right now.

Chloe: I really want to say Freckles but I’m trying not to say it to you.

In the last month or so Chloe’s been making funny comments regarding the freckles on my face and she thinks it’s funny to count them. I told her not to do that because that makes me feel bad.

Me: (relieved) Oh, you meant freckles… That’s fine.

Chloe: Did you think I was going to say the OTHER F word?

Me: What?? What’s the other F word? (freaking out again)

Chloe: Fart! (and she laughs)

Today was a Crazy Hat day at school so I made Chloe a flower cowboy hat. I was feeling proud…

then I walked in to Shane’s class room and realized that his class was participating to the event too. I felt so awful I didn’t make anything for him… Luckily his teacher had some extra hats for the kids who forgot… I win the bad mother award today. 🙁 I guess I f’ed up…

My first day back from the trip, I found this gorgeous flowers on my desk. I feel special~

HAPPY to be home and see my family! I didn’t have any time to buy them anything so I was so thrilled to find a disney store at the airport.

They love their presents!

Chloe drew this picture and gave it to me as a surprise. She said the little girl is crying because she thought she lost her mama. “But then they found each other and she’s happy now. That’s why there’s a unicorn. Because unicorn means happiness.”

And Shane’s another abstract art:

As intense as these installation projects are which involve working long hours and being away from my family, I have to say I do enjoy doing them.

When you walk in, you’ll forget that you’re inside of a hotel room…

It’s a shame though I didn’t get to use this amazing pool. Maybe tomorrow…

Chloe and Shane made me birthday cards and put them in my suitcase. I LOVE THEM!!!

miss you guys… 🙁
