Family Holiday June 2012

 Aleeyah is in a 2-month holiday (June-July). The first day of her break, she asked, "Can we please go somewhere during the holidays?" I (Resie) told her to pray. It takes cash to go somewhere and finding the time is a challenge as i'm working during these months. Thankfully i had at least 4 days off from school before the second semester began. Greg and I decided we can have a little family get-away then.

am frustrated... i can't get these photos rotate :(

 The girls can't just get their wish easily... they have to at least earn a merit. I then ask them to help me do household chores.... and thati have a really huge surprise for them the next day. Here they are sweeping... oh well.... having mommy home... they decided they could have more fun doing chores....

 So their broom became a rock and roll microphone...

or a guitar.... and the house was then filled with a joyful noise :)

or a witch broom...

...and Aleeyah did the dishes

after sweeping Esher dusted the dish cabinet

the next morning...i told them the surprise... immediately they packed and boarded the car

Tadaaaa..... huge surprise! @ Kingdomg Resort and Spa

 

of course Aleeyah is extremely happy that mommy gets to turn off her phone...stay offline and just had pure fun time with her and her sister.
