Sending Er-gu

We sent Er-gu to the airport on Monday - she's away on a trip to Hokkaido, 2 months before us!!

The kids striking funny poses

Iron Man

We went shopping at Takashimay on Sunday evening and caught Iron Man in person. It was unusual for Caden to keep asking to take photos with Iron Man. After 2 shots, he even asked to go back and shake hands with him.

Outside the kiddy toilets at Taka

An improvement

Alicia's art piece on Sunday was nicer than the past few pieces. I remembered a similar piece which was done last year and compared the two. An improvement...

Last Sunday...

Last year...

Swimming update

During last Saturday's swimming class, Alicia cried... Coach James asked her to dip her head into the water 5 times. I heard Alicia negotiating for 3 times. He agreed but by the 2nd time, Alicia started calling for me - cos I was trying to go near to take a video of her! Aiya... all my fault. Then, she started to cry... But she quickly got over it. Brandon was different - he had no problems at all.

Caden was playing with Daddy's goggles and the water gun...

I Like the Move It Move It

The kids have been talking about their trip to Universal Studios for the past weeks. Can always hear them saying, "I want to take photo with Kungfu Panda!", "I want to take photo with Shrek!", "Donkey haaa-choooo!!!". The most comical... they keep singing the Madagascar theme song. Alicia & Caden will dance to the music.

They found these toys from their toy box and have been playing with them.

We've also watched Madagascar 1 and Shrek 1's DVD. Will be watching Kungfu Panda anytime soon. If not for the trip, these DVDs wld b left to mould...

And, they're pestering Mummy me to bring them there again!!!

Duck today, Rabbit tomorrow

When Mummy went to pick the kids from school yesterday, I was amused to see that the whole of Brandon's class coming out with a duckling on their head. Brandon said they colored it themselves. So, Mummy took a photo for him.

Caden also wanted to take a photo.

Today, when I picked him up again, I saw a rabbit on his head. Cute...

Again, Caden wanted to pose for a photo too.

Doll?

Alicia took out the bib from the doll and put it around her neck. She said she's a big baby!

Harmony Music

Mummy chanced upon this new music school at Serangoon Gardens and decided to let Caden try it out. Brought him there for his 1st session this morning and he was so afraid! So stiff thru-out the half-hour programme and refused to participate. He kept saying he wants to leave. When it was time to say good-bye, I asked him if he wants to try out any of the musical instruments before leaving and he said ok. Walked over to the teacher and held her hand to take a bell. Then, he bid goodbye and gave her a big hug. When I asked him if he wants to come again next week, he said, "Yes!" Sigh... Took so long to warm up. And jus because of his answer, I had to spend $ for his programme fee - $70 per month.

Last weekend

We brought the kids to Tampines Mall & Tampines One on Saturday, and Paragon on Sunday.

Dinner @ Sushi Tei - look at Caden's face after eating the Cha Soba on his own...

At the playground on level 5 @ Paragon. They were playing on the slide when I saw 5 girls going after Brandon. Was thinking, "Wow... girls chasing my boy??" Who knows, they complained that Brandon had kicked on the the girls when going on the slide. I quickly apologised and made him apologise to her too. Then, brought them away to the merry-go-round instead. After the kiddy rides, they saw the toys inside Gio Junior. Jus sat down and play... Mummy me had to spend some $$ there, else very pai seh. So, bot 3 items for Alicia.

Who cut my hair?

Alicia was doing her homework when Brandon took out the scissors from her pencil case. Before I knew it, I saw a chunk of hair on it. Then realised that Brandon cut it out from Caden's hair! Look at what he did...

Daddy still dunno... will Mummy get a scolding after he reads this post?

Who's sleeping with me?

Caden has been sleeping with her jie-jie and gor-gor in their bedroom for the past few months. So far, he'll wake up at about 2+am and cry for me. Mummy can hear cos of the baby mobile aka walkie talkie. Will make my way up and put him back to sleep again. On good days, he'll sleep thru the nite. However, about 2 weeks ago, he came down to my room to look for me! Told him that he can't go down the stairs by himself especially so when he jus woke up. Taught him to look for jie-jie if he wants to look for me. Then, last week, when I went to their room in the morning, I saw this scene...

He was sleeping with jie-jie on her bed. Alicia din even know that Caden went to sleep with her!

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Happy 4th Birthday, Brandon!

Mummy ordered 50 cupcakes from Crystal Jade Bakery for him to celebrate in school. When I picked him up after school, he told me, "Mummy, mummy... when teacher opened the cake box, all my friends said "Wow"!!!". Indeed, the kids shouted "Thank you Brandon" when he was leaving. I heard the kids telling their parents or grandparents that they had cake and goodie bags today cos of a birthday celebration. Too bad Mummy wasn't around to take more photos. And oh... Alicia skipped school today cos she ran a fever last nite. Woke up in the middle of the nite crying saying she had a bad dream. Mus have played too much during the day.

He showed me the coin box which his teacher gave. Caden also wants to pose together with him.

In the evening, we celebrated for him at home. He asked for a Bumblebee cake from Bengawan Solo which Mummy ordered in advance.

The birthday boy

My cheeky kids

Before we knew it, Brandon & Alicia pinched some cream off from the cake!

Alicia & Brandon were very fast to blow off the candles. Caden said, "I haven't blow yet!!!"

Look at the 3 kids - they licked the cream from the knife after cutting the cake with Daddy!

We also celebrated Da-gu's birthday together, one day in advance. Hers was a banana & chocolate tart from Fruit Paradise. Caden blew off the candles while we were taking the group photo! Wahaha!!!

When Brandon opened up the presents, he was super excited. Alicia & him tore open the wrappers together. He was especially happy when he saw the Wolf Ranger toy. Another Power Ranger to his collection...
