Wooden Pecking Hens

HANDS is the theme for this week’s Photo Hunt and here I wrote here that we have a hand in educating our two younger children.

I thought about featuring this photo of my youngest daughter’s hand holding a wooden toy with five pecking hens which looks like a handmade toy.

I thought the concept of this toy is originally Philippine-related but when I Googled the term, I found out the toy is of Scandinavian origin!

Surprise, surprise!

Below is the toy in a close-up photo:

Twister Game

It is summer in this part of the world.

Summer means the children are not in school so parents should think of ways to keep the children entertained, occupied and challenged.

One of the games children can play with is the Twister Game. Below is a Twister game being played with my son as one of the players.

This game not only tests their ability to listen and follow instructions but it also tests their flexibility and resistance. It also is a good way to let them think creatively on how they would make themselves more comfortable without breaking their hold on the colored circles 🙂

Fine Dining Means Eating Less While Paying More

Fine dining is something we don’t usually do, especially if we are the ones who will foot the bill. Yes, its that expensive on this side of the planet. Truth is, I would rather try (very hard) cooking food fit for fine-dining and serve these at home 😀

That is how a miser I am we are (oops, nabuking).

Anyway, here is a photo of a fine dining restaurant’s table, sans the china and silverware:

‘Hence, I am leaving it all up to you to help me come up with a more accurate description.” You wrote this and to that I answer:

fine dining means eating less while paying more 😉

So how do we eat these wee things?

Yellow Leaf

Yellow is a wonderful color. It is bright, warm and lively. Yellow is the theme for this week’s Photo Hunt.

Summer is definitely here on this side of the planet. Everyone is saying “it IS hot” and yes, it is very hot and humid.

I definitely miss the “cold” spell we experienced for a few weeks during December till February. Sure a lot of people got sick because of that and taking a bath in the morning (Filipinos take baths everyday, some even twice or thrice a day when the weather is extremely hot) is a real challenge especially to those without a water heater like us.

Yellow leaf, a sign that the weather will turn cold because some trees shed their leaves. Our own version of “autumn”.

I definitely miss the cool weather. I don’t mind if the days look sad because of overcast skies.

I am sure a lot of you out there are welcoming spring with open arms (except maybe those with allergies) so you can take a lot of flower photos 🙂 Have fun!
