Simply Irresistible!

Yesterday morning, Hubby and I found out that Kuya Baby failed to submit an assignment in Reading. We are both very particular about teaching the kids to be responsible and not being able to submit a school requirement is a big no-no in the family.

Because of this, it's a "No Facebook and No PSP" weekend for the Kuya Baby. But Maki, ever the ultimate kulit, kept bugging Hubby and me, hoping we'll have a change of heart. His first few attempts were unsuccessful as I wanted to be firm about the consequence of his action.

Finally, and I think this is his ace up his sleeve, he handed to me certificates of recognition for being 3rd in class and the Best Reader for the 1st quarter of the school year with matching, "Uy! Reading din?" He also handed his Kuya's certificates to us. The Kuya ranked 2nd in class and got the Best in Reading and Oral Communication awards for the 1st quarter of the school year.

As I am writing this post, he's just there with his hopeful and paawa look. Hubby is already asking if we can lift even just the No PSP thing. With two makulits around....sige na nga! Pero next time ha!

20 Things About The Family

1. All the boys in the family are named Michael -> Michael (the Dad), Michael Romulus (the Kuya), Michael Remus (the Kuya Baby) and Michael Ramius (the Baby).
2. Hubby got the name Romulus and Remus from a book entitled The Brotherhood of The Rose. Meanwhile, Ramius came from The Hunt for Red October.
3. Birth months in the family are May and September. Hubby and the Kuya are May babies. Wifey, Kuya Baby and Baby, on the other hand, were all born in September.
4. The family loves out-of-town trips so much that Hubby and Wifey always plan for a family getaway every now and then.
5. Pizza Hut's Cheesy Pops is a family favorite.
6. Visits to Trinoma are always capped off with Dairy Queen blizzards.
7. The Hubby and Wifey have a weekly dinner date which is always spent at Mister Kabab. They both love ox-brain!

10. Hubby spends more time in the bathroom than Wifey.

14. Every Saturday morning, Hubby, Wifey and Baby drive all the way to Meycauayan, Bulacan to buy pandesal from Pan de Manila because the Baby loves early morning long drives.
15. Wifey introduced Facebook to the boys but they are now more addicted to it than she is.
