Our Long Weekend

It has been a FULL of activities & gatherings weekend for us.

First, we had a all night prayer meeting in church, I was helping with the children and Ezra was there from 7pm - 11pm!! Lai Kuan challenged the children that they too can rise up to pray. After the all spiritual feeding, I took over by feeding them with snacks!! hahaha... we baked cornflakes cookies with the children!! The kids were all so excited and for many of them, it was their 1st experience with baking!! The results, of cos it was the most yummy cookies they tasted cos it was done by them!! We should do this more often with them. Ezra stayed up until almost 12am with us!! Well done son.

Sat morning, we organised an early picnic at Botanic Gardens with some families and of cos for Anthony who was here for the weekend for some very exciting personal matters. We had fried noodles, baked chicken wings, American carrot cake, yummy buns, coffee, tea & milo! Its was so nice to just sit around and sip on coffee in quiet and beautiful nature.

Drumsroll for all the wonderful friends & families.... oh b4 I forgot.. all these pics were taken by yours truly!!

Ka Yun, Florence and Baby Zoe who is only 2+ months old. Flo was a little shy to take a nursing pic but with some encouragement, she nodded her head.... I tot the pic turns out NICE...

Anthony, Anthony, Anthony of the tree... shake down the boomerang. Thanks to Brian who throws the boomerang high up the tree at his 1st throw!! Anthony wasted no time and climbed up the tree and tried all his might to shake down it down but it was just nicely hanging on the branches!!
I was so busy taking pictures for others & totally missed out taking our own family!! But it was good that I took some pic of Ezra. He found this branch & shouting "hoho monster tree!!"

The children had lots of fun... they did different things...

On Sunday, after church, Jac, Lai Kuan, Hui Qi and Anthony caught a movie "The heart locker" at Marine Sqr while I stayed home with Ezra so he can nap. After that, we brought Anthony to Marina Barrage & it was CROWDED!! I cant believe how many kites were there & wondered how anyone mgt to fly the kites up... would not their lines crossed! We stayed there for a while & headed to Joanne & Nimrod's place for Sushi Party!!
Since Monday is a school holiday, I invited my team of teachers and staff to my place for popiah party, I was so busy preparing popiah, nonya chicken & fried wanton. It was very fun to see different sizes and shapes of popiah!

Ezra as usual had lots of fun the Thaddeus running up & down the house & had even more fun with the Nef guns.
