Looks like a kiddy birthday instead!!
These two cannot stop talking...
... or playing with each other wherever they are :)
Kai appreciating art (or not?) with Papa
The most powerful of them all - the phone!
Monday was makeup public holiday for May Day, and Tuesday was Hari Raya Puasa - long weekend! Went for their fave breakfast at Yakun. There are more seats now, yay!
Kai didn't realise he wasn't smiling; he was very happy with many pieces of toast!
Less happy here coz must study for exams over the holidays!
His brothers were happily playing together in the meantime...
They also decided to make Mothers' Day cards - to sell to me "with real money"!?!?!
Yang was the one who first mentioned Mothers' Day. He came to me during the May Day long weekend:
Yang: When is "happy mothers' day"?
Mama: Mothers' Day is next Sunday.
Yang: Can I buy flowers from the bookshop?
Mama: Awww... If you wish... Um, do you need me to give you money for that?
Yang: No, I have savings. I'll buy on Friday then.
Turned out he saw advertisements about it on TV. Hence the "happy" :p So he got Yu to join him in his little business... But in the end, they just gave me the cards :) Yang even scratched out the price haha!
By Sunday though, they had forgot everything, haha! And no, Yang didn't get flowers too, haha! So long as they're healthy and happy :)
Got Yu to pose with YTF for a piece of school work on healthy eating
Both of them also marinaded fish slices for the YTF soup. But they didn't like it *.*
One day, I dug out their library cards. Yu was very happy with his special card - can't remember why there was a special design in his year. Anyway, he wanted to go to the library. So we went for the first time in quite a while - no need to book slots! Oh yes, the freedom after all the COVID restrictions is still fresh, heh!
Only Yang and Yu borrowed books with their card. Kai didn't want to :(
Yang and Yu read a newly borrowed book while Kai played Chinese chess with Papa
Taken three days late!
Gave them an ice cream treat on Friday afternoon, one day late :p Just nice, Kai finished his compo exams and Yu was home that afternoon due to centre closure. Will celebrate Boys' Day for as long as they will entertain posing in front of the koi streamers!
Managed to bring them to the playground on Sunday - not rainy! But I stayed home to mark Kai's practice paper before joining them. Mama was gan cheong for pup's first exams! It was so crowded in the mall maybe due to Mothers' Day, or we just seldom came here on Sundays... First choice Dian Xiao Er was full so we went to Hainan Story, also a good choice!
Observe their interactions while waiting for Papa to order
Kai taught Yang about the three states of matter using his ice
Grabbed my teddy bears for a photo!
We didn't have to pass by this stretch but they are also attracted to these machines! They love to look at these machines and watch people play while I love the music haha! Very expensive tikam so we never let them play. Up to $15 for a tikam toy!!!
Then it was Yu's long child care centre closure... He had a haircut during then - finally!
After watching SEA games and rooting for Singapore, woohoo!
Yu finished 18 out of 20 peaks of Fast Phonics before end of subscription - he can read well now!
Squeezed in a 1-1 breakfast with Yu before his brothers started their school holidays
One week before the term ended, I brought Kai and Yang to cut their hair. Then we won't have to rush to cut just before school reopens! :p Can cut in mid to end July.
Went to Beauty World. First, lunch. Brought them to the hawker centre. Lots of complaints. So I chose the first stall - Japanese food. Order katsu don for them. Good reviews, yeah! Then they had a haircut before I had foot massage, heh :p
Yes, I brought their phones for them to self entertain!
That night, Sito and I had our first date night since December!
Oh yes, pasar malams are back, woohoo! The kids were awake watching phone video at home. Called them three times in one hour. Quite ok to escape for a short time just downstairs :)
Genki Sushi for the first time! They like the conveyor belt
This boy likes Taiwanese sausage!
Yu would rather not hold my hand so that he could chat with Yang, who likes to hold my hand
AhMa's birthday lunch where Yang discovered 寿桃 - told him it was just a prettier 莲蓉包 :p
Suddenly, he looks like a big boy! Enjoying my 12345 pork ribs
We had a play date with K2 on the last day of May. K1 had school camp and K3 was kept in child care. Yu wanted to play so I struck a bargain with him - speak enough Mandarin and he gets to stay home. So he stayed home.
They took a while to warm up though. Last play date was five months ago. So I fished out the standby beyblades that Sito bought some time back. Armed with new beyblades, the "fighting" began!
They also played board games
They played so well that JY and I went downstairs a few times to buy food, leaving four kids home alone and warning them against big bad wolves :p Closed the door - yesterday, I left it open when I went to fetch Yu and came back to find that Yang had helped to received a package *.*
After the play date, I let them play Nintendo while I tidied up. Then we headed for dinner downstairs. For the longest time, Yu always wanted the char siew bao from Sheng Kee when we walked past. Today, I finally got it for him - and he didn't like it *.*
Continued with beyblades after dinner!
Our sofa is in a very sad state now.... Let them trash it. Then they can sit on the floor :p
Hot day so let them watch video with aircon - must rest on same pillow!
And now, it's all quiet inside their room. They must be tired from active playing instead of vegetating in front of TV whole day! Happy :)
The end of May is also the start of four weeks of school holidays. See how I survive next month...!
