New Study Table

Image
The new study table was delivered. I was a little worried the table couldn't come in time for Jon's new  tuition plan. one side I think this was a little low for adult and adult won't be comfortable for long use.

I think this is better than having them in the room and have no idea what is going on.

I didn't even want to count the number of ulcers in his mouth, becau...

First stop : Teacher's Day Ordered this croquembouche in Teacher's Day theme. I had one sent to their preschool when Jon was a Playgrouper. Now he is 6 and graduating from preschool so I thought it would be like a full circle for his preschool life. photo credit : cloud9 The boys also did their own cards with no help from us. I only sponsored them the stickers which they picked and chose to paste it all over their cards. doing up their cards Over at Sunday School, the kids also put up a performance for the teachers. Sunday School Performance With Teacher's Day and public holiday, we took the boys out for some fun under the Sun.
