A recap of what I've been up to...
- Both kids' birthdays celebrated without much fanfare, just a one on one day with me ending with dinner and cake and presents at home. Check out this pic of Joshua blowing his cake in our messy kitchen/dining area.
- Faith's ballet recital. Pics below. There was a bit of drama that day, when I left the backstage after the 1st half break, she fell to pieces and refused to dance in the second half. But oh, she danced beautifully during the first half! My bad, actually. I shouldn't have gone backstage to check on her. She was totally ok during the dress rehearsal. My mom already nailed my hide to the wall for that little bit of stupidity.

- School's just started last week for Joshua and yesterday for Faith. You will not believe the document I received from Joshua's teacher yesterday. It's his curriculum for the first quarter (june - august). All seventeen freaking pages of it! I kid you not. And he's only Prep! He's got six subjects and is expected to take his first long test in Filipino next week.
Hard to believe I've stayed away from the blog for so long. But I think I needed the break. I got to focus on other things that needed to be done and others that I just wanted to do for the heck of it (like watch all the movies I wanted or make a dent on my pile of books).

It's easy to ignore the Blogosphere when you have such wonderful distractions..
but you also need some 'ME' time.
Yay!!! I wondered what had happened to you!!
Poor Josh, 17 pages?! Schools seem to be asking a lot of young kids these days, certainly more than they asked of me when I was a kid!
Your kids are, as always, adorable.
By the way, welcome back...you were missed!
Hugs,
Laurie
Hello, Menchie!
Excellent post. Very, very nice!
Happy weekend.

As for Joshua, that teacher of his is going to be in for a rude awakening when he has to grade all that work!
