No cuddles....

Time check- 11.20pm.

Not sleepy though...perhaps because my sleeping partner's not around : (

No mood to have supper just now either...no one to watch me eat...hehe....

Sweetheart's in the airplane somewhere now...won't see him the next few days (except on thank-goodness-there's-skype!).Bored as crazy coz the kids are asleep and I've no one to disturb!*giggles*

We all got around for one big family hug this evening,just before hubby left for the airport.Got around hugging hubby and then the kids started scrambling and climbing on top of us,it was hilarious!

No cuddles tonight...so I guess I'm moving in with my kids for the next few days,snuggling beside his junior instead.....

I'd hibernate till the day darling gets home.If only I could....

Staycation Part II

Monday was supposed to be shopping day in JB,but there was a glitch so sulkily, (for me,at least) we went to Ikea instead.As usual,the kids walked,ran and explored from showroom to showroom,pretending to take showers,sleep and play!

After that,our rumbling tummies took us to our favourite spot and we ended with something sweet and yummy....

The next day,we had another fun in the sun...this time,with my sisters-in-law and their kids!

Entrance.

Here we go...

The bridge where my SIL screamed when the kids shook it!lol

She loved the adventure!

Treehouse.

What plant is that?!

Playground.

Their fave-waterplay!

So much water to drink!! lol

My two darlings...

It was a long weekend for us,tiring as it was for hubby and me,it was no doubt a lot of fun.Weekend again tomorrow,yet another outing,shopping and good food...before the kids and I are left behind by hubby on his yet,another business trip : (

Staycation

It's rare not to have us on a roadtrip when there is a long public holiday,but this time round,we decided to have a staycation instead as we wouldn't want to be stuck somewhere with about half a million Singaporeans across the causeway!

So I made plans and gathered our extended family members to join in the fun!

Sunday was picnic day with mum,dad and my siblings.



Sand in his feet,building sandcastles.


It's her new passion,our lil' princess walked non-stop,everyone else had to chase after her!


In the red,hot tent.

Cycling with those who can cycle..hehe...


Baywatch babe with her uncle,our certified lifeguard : )

Warming up before splashing in.

Kids at the beach,mummy relaxed a bit as there are babysitters today.

Dip,dip...Brrr....cold water.

Time to wrap up! He was sooooo excited to help out with the tent!

Highlight of the day-caramel ice-blended!

The weather was oh-super-hot.We went home ala freshly grilled lobsters,all red hot and toasty!All in all,we had a great family time especially when everyone was so amused by the kids' antics and non-stop energy!For me,it was good to have the kids out in the sun,spending time with their grandparents : )

Just pics!

It's hot! Who's hot?



Yay! Drinking through a straw now!



How adorable! Father and child enjoying the sunset.


Dancing in the sand!

Hodgepodge of thoughts

I miss blogging.

Since I don't have much time or opportunity to blog the past weeks,here goes a medley of random things that have happened,could have or would have...hmmm....

1. Both our kids have moved! Yay!!! Moved as in,next door...from our bedroom,of course.A week or so ago,out of nowhere,this sudden contemplation came to me,as if saying,just do it now!So I told hubby,it's time the kids move out!Hehe...we shifted some stuff around from one room to the other and that night,the kids slept the whole night through in their own room!What an accomplishment!I was half-expecting darling son to come into my room in the middle of the night...but he didn't.And darling baby girl slept as usual,at 8.30 and woke up just before 6am for milk,then slept again till 8.I think I was the one with the separation anxiety coz I kept worrying about them.Our bedroom suddenly seemed so empty without them and it just felt weird not getting a glimpse of our kids before I hit the bed.!But it feels so good and liberating to have the room just for me and hubby again : )

2. Because of fact no.1,we didn't get to use the computer as much since it is still left in the kids' bedroom.All our checking of emails,etc are done via our phones.It's tricky where we should place our pc now but hopefully,we'll get it sorted out soon.

3. My baby girl is going places!What was a few steps at a time,now shs'e going Forrest Gump on us-walking and half-running everywhere.Her fave? Taking the stairs-I think she loves the challenge!

4. Our son starts school today-yet again!lol.So it's a new school for him.Our brave,independent young boy took his school van all by himself,waving to us as the van drove by.He was super-excited.I hope he goes home today with lots of delightful stories to share with us : ) Though I was a tad anxious about the timing and re-shuffling of our routine,we did fine.I cooked lunch ahead of time,got him to eat lunch and marched him to go for his nap early.We even managed to slot in some valuable study time in the morning.I'm happy with this new routine and I hope we can all stick to it!

Excited...waiting to go to school...

With his new bag-big enough to stash his A4-size books!

5. The long public holidays are coming but we haven't had any concrete plans yet : ( We are still not done with the moving of a lot of things from the kids' room to ours.Perhaps staying in a bit to get some things done at home would be a good idea.Then again,the four of us are always itching to go out! ; P

6.I must,I must get into some exercise routine or sign up for a class soon!!! I have to...I feel so bad not exercising....so bad for eating too much...not leading a healthy lifestyle.

Having to take care of 2 kids,no maid or parents to cook or clean for me (not that I want to,I love being independent and doing things my way), is NOT an excuse for not exercising!

7. I love having the opportunity and pleasure of being a full-time mum to raise my kids (thanks to my sweetheart hubby!) and getting to witness them take every milestone of their lives.That smile on their face,the walk that they take to come forward and hug me,those sloppy kisses they give me each day...are all worth for me being tired,sleepy or maxed out! lol.

Till my next blog...I dunno when that'll be,I'm growing tentacles as I speak! : p
