Last year I celebrated my birthday with my girlfriends. We met up for high tea and had a mini celebration. This year I won’t be meeting up with my girlfriends as all of us are really busy handling the kids schedules. With one boy in the morning session and the other in the afternoon session it is impossible to have a 2 hour lunch break where I can meet up with them for lunch.

This year I’ll be spending my special day with the kids as they are having school holidays today and tomorrow due to the PSLE Oral exams.  Celebrations started on Sunday where I had lunch with my cousin,  family and grandmother. Today the kids and I will be going out in the afternoon for a show and tomorrow we will be heading for an indoor playground on a play date. I will have a third celebration with R when he back from his business trip.

A year has passed so quickly and  I’m now a year older. The kids too have grown and there has been changes in our routines. My priorities haven’t changed at much with my focus still on the kids and their development. Workload however has increased  but it is still manageable.  I’ve managed to pursue my own interested in cooking/baking and photography too while busy with the daily routine. Life has been really fulfilling and I have been living it to the max.

Happy 35th Birthday to me 🙂

Bonding Over the Weekend

During the weekend the kids and I  were at  West Coast plaza where we saw that there were free art and craft activities for kids. Kids under 12 were invited to take part in the activities. The kids got the chance to make their own personalized recycled bag using stencils for the paint on design.

All three of them chose the submarine design and were busy cutting out the design from the paper.  As Tiger girl and Doggie boy were not very good at cutting out the design so I helped them cut the design out while the organizers prepared the stencils for use.

After the design was stenciled onto bag the kids used the makers to decorate her bag.

I feel that it’s cool that there are such activities for the kids to try out in the malls during the weekend. During the weekdays we do not have much time to let them these activities so it’s great that they get to do so during the weekend.

 

Do they have such activities where you live?
