Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts P52, Spring Photo Challenge

It was difficult to combine the two thees of still life and leap into spring this week for the two photo challenge. In the end I am going with separate pictures but all within this post.

How are you enjoying Spring?

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
Don’t focus too much on the wedding day but plan how you are going to spend the rest of your life together.

2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?
Enjoy yourself and don’t worry to much. Being an adult is not as fun as it seems like to a kid.

3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer? (AC, windows, fans, swimming, etc.)
The air-con. In fact we have it on almost every night throughout the year here.

4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
Sleep. I still crave it.

5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?
I don’t have one.

Writer’s Workshop: You Can Just Imagine It

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop, thursday two questions

A 3 day weekend is something which we just experienced last week. Saturday was Vesak Day and in lieu of a holiday falling on a Saturday schools were given the Monday off. The kids were ecstatic to have a day off school and time off to play.

We brought them to the Singapore science centre and to play bowling. Monkey boy is doing much better in bowling now.

Just look at his score below.

If cash wasn’t an issue I would have like to have spend that 3 day weekend a bit differently. We would have checked into a 6 star hotel at Sentosa. A suite would be good. The presidential suite or a private villa would be certainly ideal. Private swimming pool, butler and maid service couple with baby sitting would be superb!!. The kids can enjoy themselves swimming while being supervised while I can indulge myself in some spa treatment.

If the room came with gaming consoles or other kids games it would be great. The kids could entertain themselves and give me some “time off” which I need.

We would have VIP passes to the universal studios so that we could get in easily and by pass all the queuing that we need to do before trying out the rides. Dinner at the beach or at getting the top chef from one of the fine dinning restaurants to cook for us in the suite kitchen would certainly make my day. I do love dining out but dining in comfort and without having to worry about the kids running off or making messes during dinner is more of a concern to me. I’ll be able to get both- good food and a worry free dinner.
