Moon festival

We took off from the Raingutter Regatta event around 5pm. After that, we drop off Vivien at her Slumber Party at the Gym. Vivien found a "big/twin sister". And they are so happy.


...... After that, we head out to Hollywood to catch up the Moon Festival. There, we had chance to eat lot of food, listen to music, and see the dance, and karate shows. That was fun.
But the best thing is, there was a Vietnamese girl that Leo and Vivien used to listen and watch her DVD when they were small..... and she was there from Vietnam to celebrate Moon Festival with us. That was amazing. She is so grown up. I almost didn't recognize her if the M.C did not say her name.
I have a chance to take one picture of her with Leo when she walked around singing the song.

High School Musical on ice

We decided we all went to the show. Through the girl scout, we are not just get a cheap ticket, we even got a nice seat. Thanks to Vanessa- Vivien's stroop leader- she help us to get the tickets. We really enjoy the show and look forward to the other activity next time.

Report card

We had a teacher conference with Leo's teacher yesterday. It went so well. The teacher really likes Leo. As you can see he is above the level at all subjects, specially Language Arts. He has straight A and A+ in all subjects. The teacher said, he will join the Math club in the school. Only one thing, her concern is Leo is often forgot his homework at home (4 times). I tell her I will keep track on him, and hope it will not happen again. But that is not my big concern at all..... All boys will always be a boy.... he forgot things sometimes. I did ask her about the C and B he had. She said that was just a test to see how the kids level but she was not grading them.


I can't wait to see what Vivien's teacher will say about her.

Now is time for me to go to the doctors. I have to see her every 4 weeks. But after today, I will see her every 2 weeks.
And after that, I have to go to buy the Brownie Uniform. Vivien is officially start Brownie. Her troop number is # 309. And she will go to the High School Musical - The Ice tour at Bank Atlantic Center this Thursday. Vivien loves that movies, and she can wait to go with her troop to that event.

After that, I will pick the kids up, do homework with them, go to the pool, and in the evening we will go to the Church. They have awesome kids program there at the church. I can't wake up every Sunday morning to go to the church, so we decided to go on every Wednesday evening which is great for me.

Well, now I really have to go. Enjoy your day!!! :)

baby crib

I just can't wait to go shopping. Leo and Vivien just got a new bed. And of course, I need to buy one more.... but not a bed. I just can't wait until the baby shower.

I just brought a 3 in 1 white wooden crib. This one can be converted to a day bed, that also comes with a guard rail that can be use as a toddler bed, or can be a full size bed.
I'm thinking to buy a natural bedding crib to come with that. Now what I have left to do is try to paint the room and put some window treatment. If you have any idea, let me know.

PS: Picture will come soon....... :)

School test

At the beginning of the school year, Leo has all kinds of tests on the first week. The teacher wants to see where the level all the kids are at. Leo brought home the result, and I was so surprised and :( .
(He brought home a C and 2 Bs). I was wondering if the school system here is better than in MA, or I did not do a good job with him, or we did not do enough over the summer.... all kinds of questions are popping up to, my head. For me, it was shocking, because Leo never even had a B before on his test. He was always an A student.
After that, every single day, we work so hard on his Math, homework, languages arts, spelling.... and finally the result is here:

He has A or A+ on all the test: Language Arts, Math, Reading and Spelling Test with no mistake.

Talking about Leo, I will of course not forget about his sister. She doing great this year. And she brought home so far also just an A




I am so proud of them. Hope they will keep up the good work. I love you both!!!!! :)
