Dental Visit for the Whole Family

We scheduled our  second oral prophylaxis last Thursday.  Both of our dentists are Filipinos and they are the nicest people ever.  They are very down to earth which separates them from other professionals who make you feel like they are above you.   My husband  goes to  the male dentist while me and the kids goes to the  female.  

I remember when we  were new here, we used to go to  a different dentist and I was very uncomfortable when my teeth is being  work on as the dentist was not friendly at all.  It makes you feel so nervous.  Glad a friend of ours recommended the Alimario's.  So when we came back from  Korea, we started going to them and the kids just love them.  

Getting Your Garden Ready for Shark Week

There are certain events that become so popular that they are now part of pop culture and people enjoy celebrating them. Superbowl Sunday is a perfect example, but another great example would be Shark Week. What started out as an educational promotion became a phenomenon that a lot of people look forward to every year. In that case, what better way to show your support than to have a Shark Week party in your garden? Best of all, we can help with these tips.

1. Simulated Destruction

This idea is not for everyone as it will cause some damage to your garden furniture, depending on how far you are willing to take it. Basically, the idea is to have your garden look like it has been attacked by sharks. In order to do that, you can rip out a piece of a chair or a table in order to look like it was bitten or you can rip the gazebo canopy to shreds. You might need a gazebo canopy replacement afterwards, but it will really sell the look.

2. Use Fins

There is no shark image more iconic than that of the fin protruding out of the water while the shark swims below. This means that you can add a fin to anything you want and give it a shark vibe. Some of the better ideas include having a fin floating around in the pool and using fin-shaped ice cubes.

3. Shark Week Movies

If you have a movie projector, you can put it to good use by watching some shark classics while outside. There are plenty of scary movies to choose from, as well as a lot of corny B-movies that can be enjoyed for their unintended humor.

Whenever you need some extra furniture for your garden, remember to visit Yes Com USA and you can find a wide selection of top quality items.

Busy Weekend at the Cottrill's Household

I got a busy weekend again.  I started my early Saturday morning vacuuming the floor while my husband  was cooking  breakfast for us.  Then I dusted our furniture  while  the washing machine was running.  I did not even  notice that my 6 year old  took pictures of me while I was cleaning, thank you Anak!

After the cleaning was done, I decided to start arranging  the 1k+ printed photos I order a couple of weeks ago.  I am 70 percent done with it, I just have to  do the scrapbook for  my son's Kindergarten adventures  and some of our travels and I will be done..

Today, we woke up early, planned to go to church but ended  up not going but instead we went to the  lake and had so much fun catching craw gifts.  I will post about it next time.  Have a great week ahead folks.  Thanks for  dropping by and for leaving your trail.

Piano Enthusiast... NOw Pursuing it

Below is the photo of our piano enthusiast. We plan to enrol her this summer.

My father-in-law told Ms. Burrito that she can have the  piano at his basement which the little Miss was very happy about.  It's a good piano and I like it too, the only concern that hubby and I have is the fact that it's old and it needs reconditioning.  So we are saving to buy her an electric  one which amount  is the same as reconditioning the old piano. It is a joy to see her jam in the piano now.  She even teaches me a couple of song where her and play together.  She is  a strict teacher though lol.  I told her that I can't move my  fingers like she does because I am old (excuses hahaha).

Music Instrument and Piano Recital

My paternal  grandfather was really good with music instrument.  I remember when I was growing up, he would always play his banjo or guitar before we go to bed and it was very relaxing.  The form of music  before is very much different now with  digital  and other    new technology that we have.  I kinda miss the old  ways  but I am happy of what we have now.

Below is  one of the photos I took when we   watched Ms. Burrito's piano  teacher performed many songs.
