Friendship Friday, P52{Playtime} and other Friday Memes

The first week of holiday is nearly over. The kids are having a really fun time. They went to the Singapore Art Museum, spent time with their grandparents and cousins and had lots of meals out. I also brought them for their bi-annual dental checkup to see how their teeth were fairing.  I’m glad to hear from the dentist that  their pearly whites are in relatively good condition and they have been brushing well.

We went to the Tanglin Club on one of our outings and the kids had a blast there playing with in the pool.

Tiger girl is a bit too young to leave unsupervised at the pool so she was restricted to the fountain play area next to the pool. She had her bit of fun running in and out of the fountain and getting totally drenched.

The kids were starving after their water play session and happily wolfed down this cute bear face ham and cheese pizza.

Do you kids love playing in water too?

 

Friendship Friday

Question Of The Week

What’s the best blog post that you’ve read this week?

This guest post by Regina Moo on Bottomsup blog.

What made it so special?

I love how honest Regina is in the post by relating how her growing up years were for her and how she has survived and grown to be a stronger person overcoming all odds. She also wrote a really touching piece about her own childhood which I personally can relate to coming from divorced parents too.

Writer’s Workshop: The Bed

the kids

The kids all together on the hotel bed during our trip to Penang in June 2011 (A year ago)

 

My boys are so not morning persons. It takes them ages to wake up in the morning. Only after countless reminders and threats do they move their bodies from their beds and drag themselves off to the toilet to brush their teeth and change their clothes.

Even though you have called for them to wake up they still give me ” Mum let me sleep a minute more” attitude. On certain days I literally have to yank them out of their beds and push them all the way to the toilet to freshen out. Sometimes more drastic measures have to be taken by taking out the cane to shock them into waking up.

On days when it seems impossible for them to wake up, this is the case for Doggie boy , I resort to stripping their pyjamas off him and putting him into his school uniform. It would only take me the most  5 minutes while if left to him would take like forever to get ready.

I personally too would like to laze in bed and sleep in till 8am-9am. However Tiger girl is an early riser and won’t stay in bed past 7.30am.  Now I have outsourced to her to wake her brothers up every morning. It does help having an additional helper to wake the lazybones up.

Are your kids early or late risers?

How do you get them out of the house on time for school?
