Climbing up, Birthday Talk, Aloha Friday

This week has been a rather short week with two days of holidays midweek. Where has the time gone?

This week I actually planned to get more workout exercises done with my new Zumba Wii game but so far only got around to trying it out twice. I guess that I have to step up and be more discipline next week.

This morning I had a rather interesting conversation with Doggie Boy.

He was asking me what the date was and very subtly implicated that he should have a holiday next Monday.

Doggie Boy: ” Mummy’s what the date today?”

Me: ” Today’s the 12th of August?”

Doggie Boy: ” so ..tomorrow’s the 13th, then it’s the 14th then
the 15th right?”

Me:                “Yes.. you are correct”

Doggie Boy:  ” I have something very important to do on the 15th”
” I don’t need to go to school”

Me :          ” You do need to go to school. The 15th is a Monday and you
do have school.”

Doggie Boy:    ” No.. Monday I have something very important to do..
can’t go to school.. I need to celebrate your birthday”

Me:              “Aww..that’s a nice thought darling but u STILL
Have to go to school ”
( It’s nice that he is thinking of celebrating my birthday for me but it’s not an excuse for skipping school)

I’m wondering what cakes the boys will chose for me this birthday. They chose this assortment last year.

My Birthday Cakes for Last Year’s Birthday

Tiger Girl turns 11 months old today. In a month’s time she will be 1 yr old.  Today she reached another important milestone- climbing.  She is now able to climb up the sofa by herself. I need to start teaching her how to dismount from it properly or she’ll be having bruises on her forehead if she falls off the sofa.

My questions this week

How old was your child/children when they started climbing/walking? How do you prevent them from getting into scraps during this learning period?

Writer’s Workshop- Quardruple the Fun

Wanna have some Birthday Cake?

If I had the chance to throw a dream party I would throw one for the boys. It would involve flying the whole family business class to Japan.  The boys will stay the Thomas Themed room at the Highland Resort at Mt Fuji. The birthday party  itself would be  held at the Thomas Land Theme Park.

My boys are crazy about Thomas and it would be their ultimate dream come true if they are able to visit Thomas Land and ride in life size Thomas the train engine and friends. They would be thrilled to bits if they were given the opportunity to visit the place like the little boy in the video above.

The boys can get their fix of Thomas and Friends train engines and also indulge in their all time favourite food – Japanese.

It would be the ultimate party for them which they will remember fondly in years to come.

What would your dream party be like?
