一起去玩樂-綠風草原餐廳
那天有對新人在拍照,Tina說她也要照,於是留下了一張與新娘的合照.新娘把他們拍照用的風車全送給了這些小鬼,喔,不,是小朋友,哈~~小朋友們拿到了風車,在草原上奔跑著,好美的畫面(我看著,忘了拿起相機)。草原中間有湖,我們為孩子們準備了魚飼料,孩子們真是一個一個樂翻天,我想,那天的魚一定都吃得很撐才對!哈哈~
湖的一旁有涼亭與鞦韆,孩子和大人都超愛! 真的是個很舒服的地方,下次再帶爸爸來!

「媽咪寶貝成長班」正式成立了
回台灣後就一直在尋找關於育兒方面的資源,我知道全職媽媽在家帶小孩的日子太沈悶,必須走出去,且最好是有一些志同道合的媽媽一起來教育孩子,這樣不僅孩子們可以學習及交朋友,媽媽們也可以互相分享育兒經驗。
有時候帶孩子去公園玩,偶爾會與初識的媽媽提到組成長班這樣的想法,但都因沒有共識而作罷,一直到有一次去參加一個媽媽寶寶的讀書會,認識了文香,很巧的是她就住我們附近,回程她很熱心地開車順路送我們回家,我大致地跟她說了我的想法,沒想到她很快地就答應,表示非常樂意一起來組織這個Group,當時我真的很開心。我們選了一天來開會,她說她有另一個朋友也想加入,而她也是個基督徒,我當下感謝 主,我的直覺是,這個Group會成。
決定好下次上課的時間及誰教課之後,我們的第一堂課在9/8正式開始了,上課的第一天,文香又帶了另一個媽媽雅琴一起加入,我也找了社區裡的一位媽媽加入,沒想到我們的第一堂真的開始了,而且還挺熱鬧的。第一天是由我和靜芬來上課,我帶英語律動,靜芬則準備了講故事及勞作。
之後我們定了每星期二、四,早上9:30~11:00上課,每次都有兩位媽媽負責,目前內容有親子律動、說故事、美術、讀經、黏土、美語課等等,孩子們的接受度都很好,超開心的,小Elisa雖然還坐不住,但有時候也會過來聽聽故事、做做美勞、或跟大家動一動。
感謝 主與我們同在,這個Group真的成立囉,希望孩子與媽媽們都能在這裡快樂的學習。

做圍裙,你一件,我一件
是什麼東風?就是我不會用縫紉機!
哈哈!不過沒關係,趁著小的在睡午覺,我猛K了使用說明,終於搞懂了,其實我也是抱著“如果用不會,大不了再抱回去還老媽”的心態來試試看,結果,不難吔~~呵~~所以不要被看似複雜的縫紉機唬到囉。
這是「小布縫圍裙」,及在最後一頁附上的版型,上頭剪下的兩塊布剛好可以做口袋,完全不浪費。
這樣就可以幫媽媽做家事囉~~哈哈~~
後記:
為了做這二件圍裙,Tina放棄了她的午睡,說什麼也要一起做,所以她就成了我的小幫手,幫忙選布、拉布...一起研究說明書 ,甚至後來Elisa醒了,她還主動說:「媽媽,你繼續做,我來照顧Elisa!」,接著她就一下子陪小的玩puzzle, 一下子又去拿水給她喝,跑來跑去,比我還忙。當圍裙完成時,她穿著它,笑著跑著跳著繞客廳好幾圈。呵~~孩子就是這麼天真!

天父的花園~我們都愛主日學!
小小花園裡 紅橙黃藍綠
每朵小花都美麗
微風輕飄逸 藍天同歡喜
在天父的花園裡
你我同是寶貝 在這花園裡
園丁細心呵護不讓你傷心
刮風或下雨 應許從不離開你
天父的小花成長在祂手裡
別擔心 你的成長在祂手裡
(請按左邊的play 鍵,聽聽看喔!)
--------------------------------
在主日學裡,常聽到這首歌,
節奏輕快,歌詞和曲也讓人覺得好感動.
是最近我們很喜歡的一首詩歌.
感謝天父,讓這兩個孩子都能成為祂園中的小花.
Tina很喜歡上主日學,
每當我跟她說:「Christina,今天是Sunday喔!」
她就會出發出會心的一笑,
然後彈出她的食指説:「YA~~我們要去主學囉!」
呵呵~~~
永遠美麗的菊芳老師上課:
Elisa也很認真的在旁邊觀摩學習喔~~
超有愛心的明蘭老師上課:
超可愛的小玲老師上課:
嗯.....沒辦法自己拍自己吔...哈哈

姐妹倆的小紅鞋
最近經常在跟這些小鬼頭們做勞作,剪剪貼貼剪剪貼貼,連續在樓下給他們上了幾次課後,Tina常常要我變把戲給她,好像什麼都可以用紙做出來,如:「媽媽,我想當天使」。好,沒問題!於是我們一起剪了一對翅膀,貼在她身上,也貼在Elisa身上,開始到處飛。
「媽媽,我想要像糖屋果裡的棒棒糖!」…….嗯…..沒問題!於是我們用瓦楞紙做棒子,用雲彩紙做糖,愈做愈多,最後還做了冰棒和糖果,然後開始叫賣。
「媽媽,你可以做一頂帽子給我戴嗎?」,好,沒問題!我們隨便拿了幾張傳單,黏黏剪剪,做了好幾頂,有高高的廚師帽,有低低的摭陽帽,還可以反過來戴。
「媽媽,那你可以做托鞋給我穿嗎?」厚~~這次就有點過份了,我直接叫她去櫃子裡拿一雙出來穿,呵~~結果我受不了她一直“盧”…….好吧~~沒…問…題!!....這次雖然有點心不干情不願,但還是完成了。我隨便拿了一張有點厚度的廣告紙,量一量她的腳大小,剪下來,然後攢幾洞,再穿上麻繩,好了!這個時候,Elisa走過來…..「媽媽,Elisa也要!」Tina說。於是再做一雙,這次更偷懶了,量完她的小腳之後,直接再剪一條紙包起來,好穿又不會掉!哈哈~~
周末,爸爸回家,Tina改纏爸爸,結果,我們家的彼得爸爸居然給她們姐妹倆做出了這樣的小紅鞋!!這原來是“點晴品”的一個小紙袋。真是讓人驚訝爸爸有這種功力!(爸爸的小紅鞋做出來後,媽媽做的那兩雙就被掠在一旁…..真是兩個現實的小傢伙!!)

I am a stay-at-home mom!---文章分享
在美國,家庭主婦叫housewife, 誇張點有人叫house keeper,我遇過一個美國媽媽,她說她不喜歡人家這麼稱呼她,所以她常會跟人家說:「I am a stay-at-home mom.」,嗯~聽起來好像比較時尚些,哈~後來還蠻常聽到人家這麼介紹自己,因為這些”stay-at-home mom”覺得自己是因為孩子的教導,而留在家裡,她們認同對孩子來說,這是很重要的階段;在這教養的同時,她們仍會去持續擁有自己的興趣、理想….等等。 嗯~我想,這個很重要。
在網路上看到一篇文章很不錯,教你每位”stay-at-home mom”要知道的四件事:
1. Feel Proud of What You Do為你所做的感到驕傲
2. Keep in Touch with Friends與朋友保持聯繫
3. Get Organized讓生活井然有序
4. Get in Touch with Your Creative Side發揮你的想像力
各位媽媽們加油加油!!
以下是文章內容:
4 Things Every Stay-at-Home Mom Needs to Know
Thinking about becoming a stay-at-home mom? Many moms agree that while it can be a thankless job, it is also a richly rewarding experience -- one that they wouldn't trade for the world. Discover some of the best-kept secrets to stay-at-home success and then join other moms on the At-Home Moms message board for more advice and support.
1. Feel Proud of What You Do
When someone asks me what I do, I tell them I stay home with my children and I'm not in the least ashamed or embarrassed. I have learned that most people who don't think much of stay-at-home moms (SAHM) don't know what's involved and how much a family benefits and appreciates what we do. My children are only young once; I can get a career later. --Parent SouperJackie
I tell people that I am a SAHM, and I do get some odd responses to that! "Oh, so you have no education?" (I have a masters degree and a year into a Ph.D.), or "No skills, huh?" (I used to write million-dollar grants and teach grad school). I am comfortable with my answers, but a lot of other people are not. They think my education is going to waste. I answer those people with "I'm raising my children, and teaching them. What better use of my skills?" --Parent Souper Barb
Stay-at-home motherhood has changed me in so many ways. I find the biggest challenge is setting the "right" example and being the perfect role model. I love my children dearly and I want them to see that mommy has a life too. --Parent Souper Jeanne
2. Keep in Touch with Friends
Having girlfriends is a huge support in being a SAHM, especially if they are SAHMs too. You have a friendly outlet for yourself and playtime for the kids at the same time. --Parent Souper Jackie
I don't get nearly as much girl talk as I used to, but I know, as my children get older and more independent, there will be more time for me. As for keeping working girlfriends close -- live your life, care for your family, and if these old friends want to keep in touch they will. You can offer a meeting, but don't be surprised when you see less and less of most working friends. Just remember that the true friendships will last. --Parent Souper Barb
3. Get Organized
Having a routine and making lists keeps me sane! I have three calendars -- a basic one (for doctor/dentist appointments, etc.), a school one (PTA meetings, school days off, etc.) and a perpetual birthday/anniversary one. Don't over-schedule the kids. Remember that children need time to just play. --Parent Souper Barb
First and foremost, the key is to get rid of stuff! My motto is: If we don't eat it, need it, wear it, or use it, it goes (with sentimental exceptions!). I use the plastic drawer storage to organize smaller-sized toys that would wind up at the bottom of the toy box. (My toddlers even know which toys go in which drawers.) I also use decorative baskets for mail, my makeup, keys and other small household items. --Parent Souper Jackie
I have a routine and stick to it. Monday is my "pick-up from the weekend" day (e.g. cleaning bathrooms, sweeping and laundry), Tuesday and Wednesday are our "busy" days (doing things out of the house). Thursday is laundry day and Friday is dust, mop, clean bathrooms -- "getting ready for the weekend" day. Get a calendar and write things down so you can see what you have to do. I have a purse calendar that I take with me. If anyone asks me if we can do something on a certain day, I can look right then and see if we are free to go. --Parent Souper Cindy
4. Get in Touch with Your Creative Side
Finding time for you is so important. Whether you make crafts, or are involved in the PTA, you have to have activities besides housework and children. --Parent Souper Jackie
I have become a "Fix-It-SAHM." I do repairs, painting, hanging closet doors, putting new hardware on furniture, etc. I am constantly on the look out for projects to do for Christmas gifts. I would go crazy if I didn't find projects to occupy my time and mind. --Parent Souper Jackie
I am working on a book. It is a kid-friendly book about stay-at-home motherhood from a child's perspective. --Parent Souper Jeanne
Be creative in trying to save money. Make up financial challenges: Save for larger items or make up grocery challenges (challenge yourself!). My best money-saving tips are "live simply." Bake from scratch, make simple meals, use coupons, set a budget and stick to it. Forget the silly little perks you had working (lattés out, dinner out, etc.) and enjoy your children. Your love and attention is what they need -- not toys and the latest gadgets. --Parent Souper Barb

家.龍洞.海
根據這個線索,我終於選好鞋,不過還是猶豫很久,心裡還是有重新拿回來再換尺寸的心裡準備。結果晚上爸一試,剛剛好~爸說我很厲害,還穿去給在廚房的媽看。呵~我心裡得意著,感謝媽的“線索”。
------------------------------------------
在稍早的傍晚,趁著媽媽的晚餐還沒好,我和Peter帶著兩個孩子到門前的海邊走走。每次走在這路上,總有好多好多兒時的回憶湧上來…….。我真的深深覺得,在鄉下長大的孩子很幸福,能夠無憂無慮的,天天聆聽大自然的聲音,與大自然一起呼吸。
我們延路走著,景觀其實改變了很多,以前海邊的岸上是荒草一片,現在變成了整齊的公園,也加了路燈;以前在海邊的小路,現在也都舖上的水泥;走在路上,依晰都還可以看見自己小時候的影子-放學時,在這路上跑跑跳跳、邊唱歌邊玩耍;還有颱風過後去上學,為了躲那尚未完全平息的大浪,使命的在這某一段小路上奔跑躲浪;潮流來時,海邊、港口有一陣子會湧進滿滿的小魚,我們用手下去澇啊澇……好多好多,然後帶回去給媽媽煮(當然家裡己經有好多好多吃不完的魚);媽媽有時候會去海邊拔海菜,偶爾也會讓我們跟,收穫雖然不多,但是超有成就感。還有,在國小上課最好玩了,常常在戶外活動課,主任會帶全校師生一起到山上拔金棗、或到海邊游泳,我們在山林走著、我們在海邊的岩石上跳躍著……,我的回憶裡,全是響亮的笑聲。
兒時的記憶好多好多,打開話匣子,我想我可以說上一整夜……。
