We started having movie nights on Friday in our old place. This continues today, but with way more snacks as we now store snacks within easy reach. And with them captivated by the TV, we sometimes hop out for date nights on movie nights :p Usually downstairs but also as far as Sheng Siong one MRT station away.
Bye bye! Have fun!
That was taken from the corridor outside. Made them open the window for better ventilation. Grilles are all locked. Told them to stay in, not to respond to strangers, not to open door, and just ignore the "haunties" - aunties who walk to and fro and peek in at our place!
They had to eat messy snacks on the floor coz the sofa is not modular - whatever drops in, stays in!
Yes, we had fun in the form of a very nice waffle downstairs!
Our living room is smaller than in the old house. We figure we don't invite guests over much so there's no need for more space than the five of us need, and it's better to have guests in the dining area than in front of TV?? So I also like to call it our family room.
The TV cabinet is also much smaller so we have less storage for toys. Buy less, haha! But we moved here with a lot so some toys go into their bedroom cabinets. There is still ample circulation space. We can all fit on the floor to play games.

Best of all, there is enough sofa space for all of us! The old three-seater in the old house was too squeezy for us so now, we have three one-seater for the kids, and a love seat for us. Three months in, Yu's sofa is very flat thanks to him standing and bouncing on it. Yang's still feeling good. Kai's is in between. Feels like the three bears in the fairy tale :p
Just last week, Yu puked suddenly and he didn't make it to the toilet. So his sofa had some puke stain. Yang's next to him also suffered a bit, sighs.
Anyway, we spend quite a bit of time in this room, reading, watching TV, and playing electronic or physical games. Sometimes, we just goof around.
Like Yu who happily wore a jacket and rolled around - it was meant for his learning journey the next day
Oh yes, we have decorated our walls, finally! The living room wall carries our memories - some 40-50 photos from our wedding to now! A giraffe height chart is outside Yu's room. I even found the same world map decal we had in the dining room of our old house, to place in our dining room.
Sito writing in names of key cities in Asia - coz the kids know more African countries *.*
I wanted to make a house tour video but honestly, I don't have the skills... So maybe I'll start with this, and add on other rooms later...
