ARty Farty Time...Things we do at home...

Mommy has been trying to make time at home fruitful aside from simply going to playground and just watching TV. Besides going to the library almost weekly and meeting up with Aunt Celina and Aunt Joanna and their kids on one of the days if God so bless all are healthy, we have our little art and craft and learning time. Seriously, it's not easy if we talk about homeschooling and for now, mommy can forget about the idea and simply just have fun with them. Even that, it means patiences as these kids just want to do what they want, mixing up colours and preferring to just play around. There was certainly alot of mess. This was one of the pics with Abel smiling while painting. He just doesn't like to mess his hands and gets upset when his hands full of paint these days.


Mommy tried to follow the letters that Keziah's doing in school. L for ladybug and there we went, making ladybug, looking at its lifecycle through reading a book and doing some cut and paste. We tried hunting for ladybugs around the house and putting them in their colour pairs. We have a total of 30 ladybugs to catch. But things didn't quite persist for letter M, we just made a simple spider craft offhand, then it's letter N with a necklace, and O. We made an owl by assembling the different parts and adding its wings via handprint, making brown from red and green paint. Squeezing orange wasn't that quite easy but Keziah enjoyed her fruit of labour.




Keziah also started doing some mazes. Depending on days, she gets them right quickly or otherwise just going in circles.

Oh please, these were done over weeks and not every day. It's was 3 min from the ladybug and things didn't quite turn out the way it should as Keziah wasn't quite focussed. Even her teachers at school also commented that she's now less focussed and enthusiastic in class. Wondering what went wrong with the equation. Geez...really staying home might be the most difficult job to do.
