Movie : Soul Surfer

Two weekends ago, the kids and I watched a very interesting movie on the DVD, Soul Surfer. It was a very inspirational true story about this girl, Bethany Hamilton, who has lost an arm while surfing in Hawaii, bitten off by a shark. And how she was so brave and determined to surf again after that incident.
I was surprised to see Emily cried while watching, as she seldom did. The next morning, she tried to use only 1 hand to do things like brushing teeth, wearing clothes, etc. And finally she told me, mummy, it is not easy at all to work with 1 hand only.
Since then we have watched the movie twice, looking forward to watch again this weekend with hubby.

Here's a clip that I found on youtube.

Hubby's 'XX' Birthday

We celebrated hubby's birthday last night with a little home-baked cake. Thanks to my chicken pox infection, we were not able to go out for a nice dinner.
Kids were excited about daddy's birthday the moment they woke up in the morning and greeted daddy with birthday wishes.
Look at Jared with the plate in his hand, as he refused to let go even though we told him he will get to eat the cake after singing the birthday song and taking photos. His reasoning was, his cake will drop on the floor if he doesnt have a plate... what an excuse.... :)

This is the birthday greeting "card" that Emily has given to daddy. In fact it was given to him last week as she was too excited to keep it till yesterday :).

Another Scribbles of Hers....

Found this in Emily's school bag while doing some spot checking :). Wonder how she has time to draw this when she never has time to complete her school work in school. Anyway it is cute..
