Building An Ark in Singapore

Field Trip #1 We visited the Army Museum on 2nd January 2008 (Wednesday). I thought it was a good day to go for a field trip since all other children will have to be in school which meant that we probably would be the only ones at the Museum. This is one great benefit of homeschooling! The Museum was lovely. It is very new and modern and a great way to introduce our sons to a rite of passage that they have to go through soon enough. What they loved was the mini Standard Obstacle Course (even the 2yr old!). And I got to try out the M16 for the 1st time in my life! Now was that cool or what?! (BTW it is free entry all the way to June 2008, according to their website.) Field Trip #2 We then proceeded to the Singapore Discovery Centre which was next door to the Army Museum. Now that was a good introduction to National Education that we homeschoolers need to be familiar with coz we need to take an exam for it before we are allowed to take the PSLE! It was very interactive and the children had loads of fun - I just hope that they learnt something there! Lol! The Accident After spending about 4 hours there, we decided to head for home and that's when the accident happened. The 2 boys were rushing to open the heavy doors (as usual At 1st we thought he'd merely knocked his toes (he was wearing sandals) but he started screaming, "Look! Look what you did!!!" And then we saw what had happened. The botton of the door had ripped apart and ripped out the toenails of the 2nd and 3rd toe!!! OUCH!!! It was really scary - the nail on the 2nd toe had split apart and was lifted off the nail bed. There was blood. The nail on the 3rd toe had been ripped off the nail bed halfway. More blood. But he was very brave. He didn't wail after that. But he couldn't really walk properly. It must have been excruciating pain! We called a dr friend to ask what we should do. She said to wash it, keep it clean and then plaster it so prevent it from being ripped off accidentally. So when we reached home, I showered him and did exactly that. But I didn't use normal plasters The Miracle The next day, I took off the bandage to air it and amazingly, the nails had managed to get "stuck" back on! There was just a very slight bruising on the edge of one toe! He said it wasn't painful anymore! By the end of the week, I could trim off the broken off nail completely. inflicting no pain whatsover on him. Isn't it amazing how God made our bodies to heal itself? Ds now knows for sure that God hears and answers prayers. So that was our very eventful field trip! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles for the Christian SAHM can be found at :

But sad to say, I failed. 
I blame it on the fact that while I am right handed, it is my left eye that is dominant. 
So it was really very hard to focus with my right eye. Gave me a headache! 
). The older one opened the door and jammed it into the younger one's toes! 
I wrapped a bandage around it and then held it together with some surgical tape. If we had used normal plasters, we would probably have ripped off the remainder toe nail when we took it off!
