Rachael’s Lantern Making Project

Raeanne is really a very sticky girl. Today I had to carry her to have my lunch and do almost everything with her. Otherwise, she was crying her lungs out most of the time when I wasn’t with her. 

Even when she slept, she wanted to be carried. The minute she’s put down, she woke up. 

So basically, I had no chance to shower and wash the dishes. It is really not easy to handle 2 kids with just the 2 parents. When Rachael came back from school, she said her teacher reminded her to hand in her lantern tomorrow. So well, we had no choice but to finish it tonight. 

In order to finish this lantern making project, we spent a few hours on it and took turns to carry Raeanne. Rachael only showered at 10plus and I couldn’t shower till 12midnight. I feel horribly dirty and smelly. 

Her daddy drew her favorite PJ Masks for her to colour. 

Then I got her to apply glue on it to paste on the container.




Final product is finally ready. But look at how tired she was. 

Here’s a closeup... 

Catboy!

Owlette!


Gekko!

We were supposed to use recycled material:

1) The container was used to contain biscuits.

2) The ribbon was removed from Raeanne’s Baby Shower present.

3) The stick was made by wooden chopsticks and wrapped with magazine. 

I hope this passed. 

Finally, Raeanne fell asleep. It has been a long day and night. 

Dear God, I lift up Rachael and Raeanne into Your hands. I pray that both of them will have a good night sleep tonight till morning. I pray that both will be able to fall asleep earlier every night instead of waiting till 11 plus or 12 plus. I pray that tomorrow will be a better day and Raeanne will be able to fuss lesser. In Jesus’ most precious name I pray, amen!
