Can't Take my Eyes Off Them

I was asking my kids to take their nap for a while but they don't want to. I am so sleepy during afternoon coz I am waking up early and I really want to close my eyes for some minute but I can't coz I can't take my eyes off my kiddos. They are so hyper, they just wanna play or watch or do something they want all day. And If you're not looking, they might get bored and do something you will surely not like!

Sometimes when I am busy in the kitchen, I caught my son playing with all the cabinets' knob until they got detached from the cabinets. My daughter is also an explorer, I dunno why they have to look for something else to do than play with their toys? My kids are tinkering when my eyes are off them, now tell me how will I able to take a nap? Did you know that I can't even take a nice shower without peeping them out every other minute? Yeah and my ears are very wide open, listening to what they are doing. So what I am doing when I need to take a shower already, I will give them a good movie (best if it's their favorite) to watch so that their eyes will stick for a while in the computer and prevent them from getting bored for at least until I finished my shower. I can't afford to leave them even a single minute, I am making sure they were not doing things that might get them in trouble or accidents. We don't have a phone yet so I might have problem in calling emergency assistance, so better prevent accidents right? So there, better look after them everywhere they go than taking risks.

School Hunting

Before we come here, husband was already did some school hunting. He chose ELM TREE Elementary School for Ishi, a non Traditional school known for being high rated school. That's one of the reason husband chose our apartment in Bentonville. Sadly, when we visited the school yesterday, the staff told us that Kindergarten for school year 2011-2012 was already full. Oh that sad. She advised us to enroll first in a traditional school then she will put Ishi in their waiting list. I saw the school and I had a feeling that it is really a nice school unfortunately Ishi can't able to enroll there this coming school year. For now, we have to look for another school for our Ishi while we are still thinking if we are going to enroll Ethan too.

Good luck to us!

One Peaceful Afternoon

I was wondering how come my surroundings were very silent yesterday afternoon. My kids just had their lunch then they played a little then I noticed they were not that hyper to play like what they used to do during that hour. I asked Ethan if he's sleepy (coz he's always having his nap time, but not that early) and he said yes so I cuddled him and scratch his back so he could be able to sleep. After few minutes, Ethan was already sleeping and to my surprise, Ate Ishi was also asleep! That's the first time she took her nap ever since we arrived here. I guess that's because she woke up early that morning when their daddy kissed her goodbye.

So this was the first time I had my peaceful afternoon even just for an hour.
