Change to Childcare??

As I write this post, it was with much easy & comfort cos it just home alone with Jac & me. Ezra & helper are spending the night at my in laws place. This has somewhat became a ritual for Ezra during the sch break.

This has been a very busy school break for me. I have been back to office for 2 days & will be going in again tml. After our Family day on Tuesday, the 2 big boys and Nadine had a sleep over at our place on Wednesday evening... I was busy cooking & feeding them. Today, 2 families from church Fiona & Huey Hong came over for lunch and a playdate for the children. I had 8 kids in the house but they did well, playing with each other & stuff. It was so funny when my neighbour actually stopped Fiona at the corridor & asked if our place changed into a childcare!! It sure feels like during the holidays!!

Family Day Out

Jac was able to take off from work yesterday & we planned a whole day out with Ezra.

1st stop was Science Centre. We read from Angie & Joyce blog of how much fun the children had and we tot why not!! BIG mistake!! We paid $32 for 3 of us.. walk ard the exhibit a little & why we tried to explain things to Ezra, he wld press the button & run off to press the next button!! After a while, we kind of gave up!! We actually planned to stay there until 2pm but by 11.30am we were done!! I suppose Science is not for both of us & even for Ezra!! Next time must tag along with Science people like Clement when we visit Science Centre again.

We went for our 1st Omnimax movie, Bears... The show was ok but Ezra was complaining of hunger all the time cos someone brought in popcorn!!

After the show, we drove all the way to Ikea at Tampines for our special day out lunch while Ezra snoozed in the car! Ezra was really hungry & popped into 7 meat balls + mashed potato & 1 winglet!! Once he has his energy replenished, he was up to some mischief again!! He looked at us & said "See mum, i can move my eyes!" It was so FUNNY...

He remembered eating ice-cream & plead with us for yet another cone of ice-cream!!

Jac brought a sandtoy set "beach work" & he was very eager to show off to Ezra what it can do... so off to Changi beach we went! It was perfect weather for beach, a bit cloudy with lots of wind!! Father & son wasted no time & set out their tools & started building castle.After many 'hours' of hard work... Jacky & Ezra are proud to present their castle!! Oh I almost forgot... Jac was commenting "Let papa add some ???? to the castle..." Can you guess what it was? Let me give you some options....

1) The 12 apostles
2) Christmas Trees
3) SHIT!!


Changi beach was really quite a nice beach to chill out... every so often, Ezra would shout "Look mum, see the plane... wow so big!!" Once in a while, we get to see big container carrier sailing across the sea.
I think Ezra had more FUN knocking out his castle than building it.After our beach outing... its time to hit the movie!! We drove to Marine Square (again Ezra had his power nap) & caught the G Force. This time, Ezra had his wish of pop corn!! The show was ok & glad that Ezra enjoyed it.

By the time we finished the movie, it was 8.30pm & time to head home.... All of us were tired but it was a day well spent with our most loved.

Thank you my 2 darlings.

1st Holiday Gathering

Our group were supposed to meet up at the Botanic Garden for the children to play but the weather was a little wet & everyone came to our place instead!! I rushed to Seng Shiong to pick up some stuff for the gathering.

After a quick round of preparation, we are ready for our guest.... The Ng family arrived first... Jaimie wasted no time & dashed into Ezra room where they played with the toys.

Next came the Chiah family arrived next and Cherryln joined in the party pretty quickly as well.

Wolfie & Rain came a bit later but Rain was kind of throwing a tantrum but she also joined in the fun after some time.

We had a FEAST!! We had udon, fried bee hoon, kong bak pao, taiwan sausage, chicken sausage, fishball, ham & cheese bread & bean curd dessert. Everything was so YUMMY...
The children had so much fun together, they were playing with each other, laughing at each other and with each other... It was such a joy to see them play together.We also had fun playing taboo... man wear BRIEF... not sure if its the bird or sound "COCKADOODOO", etc...

What a way to start the holiday!! Thank you friends....

Ezra's 1st Plant

I remembered reading abt Jaimie having her 1st plant.... Ezra also brought home some wheat grass plant from school as they are learning about plant and flowers. The children put seeds of wheat grass onto a kitchen towel and placed it on a form plate.

It was very interesting to see how excited he was about his plant, how he would carefully water the plant and how fast the wheat grass grows in just a week!!

The grass will be ready for harvest and we can just trim off near the roots and they should grow again. I am not sure if Ezra would dare to drink the wheat grass....

Different angles of the plant!!
This is my online journal of things, events, happenings in my life. This will also be a online inheritance I leave for my dearest hubby Jacky & lovely son, Ezra.
