First day of Homeschooling

First day of Homeschooling
I decided to choose today as the first day of Fritz's Homeschooling day. Though all the preparation is not yet ready, I think I'm ready to go with the simple stuff around.

This morning when Fritz has just waken up, I saw the sun shines brightly and it's a good start to face his first day of his homeschooling. I put on his shoes then we went out to have a walk under the brightly sun. He loves to see cats around, so we found the cat. Luckily, when we just went out the cat was in front of the house. So he started his first walk by catching the cat with his little feet. He was so happy when he could stand near the cat. Then, we saw a baby born was having sunbathing. We went nearby and saw this a little baby. Just took a few minutes chit chatted with the Mom, then Fritz saw another cat and tried to catch it again....

After he took his breakfast and bath, I gave his toys around to be played and turn on music on my DVD player. He knew some songs and clapped his hands when he heard his fave's songs.

Otherwise, the first day was always not going so smooth. As my Dad was not in good condition, so we should take him to the St. Carolus hospital. Fritz was also going with us. So the class was ended in the hospital.

Fritz's 1st Birthday Party

Fritz's 1st Birthday Party
Finally the day comes..

Start with a little busy in the morning. Daddy and Oma were going to Kupo's House at Graha Raya to get the birthday cake. They went at 6 o'clock!

Then another messy thing happened when Popo from Ali's mom side had bought a horse toy for Fritz and no one had able to deliver her to the venue. So Ali decided to pick her and went straight to venue.

All of us arrived at 2.30 PM and prepared all the things for the party. The cake, the goody bags, the coupons for the food ( I had to sign it before for 120 coupons) and all the things round.

The party itself was began at 3.30 PM after half of the guests were coming. Children were sitting in the middle facing to the decoration and the cake. Games, songs, silly jokes and questions were successfully given by the MC to the children. Mostly, the guests were participated in her interactive questions and tried to answer it. The craziest thing happened when she asked the children to get Ali's sandals. All of the children were running toward in a rush to Ali and tried all their best to get it. So funny!!

The place was getting so crowded with all the guests. Then it's time for the celebration. All of the children were singing "Happy B'day" song altogether. Blowing the candle and cutting the cake was the peak of the party. Unfortunately, Fritz fell asleep and both of us did it for him.

Kids got their meal and got back to their parents. After took some rest for a while, MC called them to gather back again in the middle. It was the last session. It's time for distributing the goodies to the kids and saying bye2.

Honestly, we were so exhausted. We greeted the guests, gave the birthday cakes, distribute the coupons, and took some picture with them. Otherwise, we were having so much fun there.

Though it was only a first year celebration. Though Fritz totally didn't realize it was his party. Though some people (maybe) felt jealousy with us. We just a parent who received some gifts from some people caring our boy so much.

Thanks for those who helped us. We couldn't say anything, just lots of thanks and God will repay all your kindness. Thanks to the ones who held this party, baked a cake for Fritz, gave the goodies, made this party so cheerful (MC), and came to this simple party.

Thanks to:

Open House @ Apple Tree

Open House @ Apple Tree


We had attended an Open House at Apple Tree Sunter Branch, my previous job on 20th March. I and my hubby got an opportunity to sell our krupuk there as one of my friends allowed me to put those to be sold.

After I had my private tutor, three of us went in hurry to Sunter. We arrived there almost noon, around 11.30 AM. Then I met some my oldies friends and we had a little chit chat with them.

The exciting things happened when Fritz was having all his shirt wet because of water in the pool. Suddenly when I had a chit chat with one of my friend, Fritz was playing with the water. Usually he refused to play with the cold water. That day, he enjoyed his time playing with the cold water. Maybe it because of the sun shoot so brightly and he felt so hot.....


Another things was he played with the car. I put him inside of the toy car and he really enjoyed though it was so shiny day. He was playing with the car's stir while Daddy controlled the car.
