Thursday last week, we were glued to the TV,  watching the Texas Longhorns and the Alabama Crimson Tide battle it out in Pasadena, CA for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) crown.  We were cheering for the Longhorns.  Unfortunately, they lost.

I took some photos of hubby while he was watching the game.  Here’s one of ‘em…

You can very well tell by his posture that the game isn’t quite going his way. Hee hee.  While Hubby and I were screaming, “Sack ‘em!” at the TV, our little girl was at one end of the living room center table busy with something else…

She’s a Longhorns fan, too, but still way too young to focus on a football game.  So she just busied herself with insurance quotes. Kidding! She’s really playing an online game for kids.   Every once in a while, she would stop, look at the tv and ask who’s winning.   Ahh, kids.

Yesterday evening, my little girl and I found ourselves on another date night. It was “Eat Out Night” at her school.  It is a fund raising event where  families are encouraged to patronize a specific dining establishment and part of the sales from diners who mention the school’s name are donated to the school.

We had a simple dinner.  Just cheese quesadilla for Abby and veggie flatbread for me…so no need to bring out the adipex diet pills…yet.  Then again, it’s Thanksgiving next week, which is when holiday food bingeing officially starts.  Good luck to me.

It’s been a while since my little girl and I were on a proper mother-daughter date.  Perhaps it’s because we’re constantly together.  Well, tonight, we went on our first evening date.

We’ll have to remember to do this more often…and not on a chilly night like tonight.  Hee hee.  It’s getting chillier where we are now.  I can handle the cold as long as it doesn’t come with too much wind…wind that triggers home alarm systems to go off.

Thanks for a lovely evening, sweetie.

Sabi nila dapat daw ay nakikipagtipan ang mga magulang sa kanilang mga anak lalo na kung mahigit na sa isa ang mga supling.  Importante daw na mabigyan ng kani-kanilang panahon kasama ang kanilang mga magulang ang mga bata – “one-on-one bonding time” kung baga.  Hindi kinakailangang magastos ang mga tipanang ito.  Pagkain lang ng merienda sa Jollibbee ay sapat na!

Kapag umaalis ang aking kabiyak para magbiyahe, nagkakaroon kami ng pagkakataon ng aking anak na magkaroon ng “mother-daughter date”.

Experts say that it is important for moms and dads to have a mother-daughter, mother-son, father-daughter, or father-son date with each of their children.  It is important that parents have these one-on-one bonding time with their kids to better get to know them and so they’ll all feel especially loved. These dates need not be eleborate so it’s unnecessary to book a room at extended stay hotels.

Whenever my husband goes on a business trip, it is not uncommon for my daughter and I to go on a mother-daughter date.

Kuha ang litratong ito noon pang nakaraang taon gamit ang aking cellphone.  Ito pa ang isa…

These photos were taken last year using my cellphone…

Isa pang lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy:  “Group Date”

Mabuhay!

Last week, my kitchen was transformed into a bakeshop of sorts as it was bustling with activities.  It started on the night of February 7th when  I baked a Honey Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting for a male friend’s birthday.  This is the boxed up cake…

The following night, I baked another birthday cake, this time for a female friend’s birthday.  I made her a Luscious Chocolate Cake with Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Frosting.  Here’s the cake ready for delivery…

These next two photos were not taken on a weekend but the photographed goodies were received on a weekend anyway, so I guess they still count as weekend snapshots.  Hahaha!

These are Blondies (Blonde Brownies) that my daughter gave her teachers for Valentine’s Day…

There are 14 pieces inside the Valentine-themed tubs.  And these are the little Valentine packages I sent my friends…

There are 8 pieces of Blondies in each box.

I was baking practically every night last week, one would think I was taking horse supplements instead of regular vitamins!  Hahaha!  I can take it easy this week, now that Valentine’s Day is over and it’s a few more weeks ’til another friend celebrates a birthday. 

Have a wonderful week ahead, y’all!
