Its Working! Its Working!

Like me, little Natalie fears thunder and lightning. Whenever, it rains, she would start to switch off all entertainment gadgets. Be it TV, Her Cashier and even at times all lights in the house.

She also assumes that thunderstorm would go away if she does her homework.

Today is no different. It was raining early Sunday morning and she came up to me and asked to do her homework.

As she started on her homework .... she would periodically stand up and check the window.

True enough the rain got smaller as she started doing her homework.



Interestingly or amusingly she commented ... " Its Working, Its working!"

The above is Natalie after the rain stopped!

Hapi Mother's Day

Wow .... long time since anyone wrote anything. Not that Lynn is lazy .... but since the day we found out that 2 is now becoming 3, life has been hectic. Not that Lynn doesnt have time, mind you she was on MC for 2 weeks liao.

Except the little one is giving her mum some more exercise lah. Yah ... by exercise I meant walking to and fro the toilet .... forward bend down to puke and bend back to rinse her mouth. As the day goes by .... speed at which food is entering her system and downloaded out of the system is increasing .... how I wish broadband speed was so fast.

Naturally, the "doing of things" has been transferred to me. Mind you got no handover document one, its just do it.

So updating this blog also now become one of my chores ........ like how gynae charge expecting mothers via a package .... my new responsibilities also come in a package as well yah.

Also timely to be updating this blog given that Mother's day is round the corner. As my Lynn now copes with becoming a mother of 3 ...... a nice way to be celebrating this weekend with her.

Having a gathering over this weekend for Mother's day. From my GMIL to my own mother .... then of course with my 2 kid's mother as well. Celebrations always comes with issues, this year is no different but heck ..... I do things my way, u want you come, dun want dun come. Life is simple so lets not make it complicated. I told one of my frens recently .... when u begin with no expectations, you would not be angry or frustrated.

Back to the main cast of this blog ... Natalie brought home from school a self made card and a box of cookies (which I believe are from her teachers) , all meant for her mummy Lynn. Well Lynn was happy with the card naturally ...... but couldnt taste the cookies cos the 2 gals of mine decided to taste test it. The fact they finished it naturally means that it surely tastes good ... but we would never know.

Well ...... u you are getting bored .... dun worry. Pictures would come .... at least to capture the events for this weekend.

But for now, all I can say is that life is gonna be different with the 3rd one coming ....... I am feeling and seeing it now already.

While on our way to settle Nat's new kindergarten yesterday ... we sort of decided to keep the gender of the next one a secret until delivery. That would be interesting given the high level of interest ...... apparently a bet is going around on the gender of the next child.

Well ...... we wait but we will know soon enough whether the next one would be called Naomi or Lucas.

Thats all for this morning .... got to start to clear things. Hosting 2 meals today.

Hapi Mother's Day to All Mothers ......

Nicole's Birthday

It is Nicole's Birthday .... so we are off to her school to celebrate her birthday in school. As it is her special day, she went to school in a nice red dress. This however made Natalie sad cos she had the impression that we were going off shopping without her. Only after some assurance did she realise that we are only going after school ends for the day.

Natalie was given permission to pop by for the cake cutting over at Nicole's class and they had a wonderful time singing and celebration the occasion ... again. Hahahahaha!

After school, we were off shopping. Even though the kids were tired, they managed to show off their laughter and joy.

Look at her double eyelid. Signs of fatigue setting in.

But she never fail to put that smile on your face

with the contagious laughter of hers.

Happy Birthday to you Nicole. You are 3 already.

Love Daddy & Mummy!

Not forgetting your Sister Natalie as well!

Homework

Natalie has quite a bit of homework this weekend. There are few worksheets that she doesn't want to complete in school and hence her teacher wanted us to coach her at home. There is one which requires her to draw "Big" house and "Small" house, to our surprise, she drew the house completed with her papi, mummi, auntie, mei-mei and herself. She put the adults in the "Big" house while the kids in the "Small" house.

eXplorer Kids

Finally after many weeks of comtemplating, we spent a great afternoon at the eXplorer Kids or rather the "Giant Yellow Slide" which Natalie fondly relate the place. To her Go-Go Bambini is the "Purple Slide". She has been asking us to bring her to this "Giant Slide" for some time, but it is so far from our home, that we dragging this outing for some time.

While Natalie had a great time at the Mega Play, Nicole is trying balls at the bigger kids over at the ball pit. She has upgraded from the Toddler Play Area. She enjoys pretending the ball pit is a big tub filled with colourful bubbles. She even tried to sink into the balls.

After Xplorer Kids, Natalie will drag us to get her sprite from one of the coffee hunt and follow up the ferries wheel. She was so happy while queueing for her turn to ride the ferries wheel, she started saying "hello" to 2 girls queueing in front of us. She is simply happy.

When we left, Natalie even said "Goodbye, Giant Slide! , I miss you Giant Slide" ...

Wish upon a star

Natalie and Nicole wish upon seeing a star on our way home. Natalie wishs that Papa, mummi, grandma, mei-mei and auntie will always be together. And she also wishs that she want to go to school another day. Nicole wishs for something too but she speaks so softly that no one can hear her.

Our stay at Swissotel

Last Dec, we stayed at Swissotel for 1 day to celebrate our Xmas. Since both our girls enjoyed their stay at Holiday Inn, Malacca, we decided to go for another hotel stay. They loved the bathtub and can't wait to join in. They had their fill of bubble baths.
