Play and Eat at Turf city Grandstand

Its Saturday and its lesson free day, so got to make full use of it. Its been sometime since we last brought the kids to DIY pancakes and off we go to Slappy cake at Turf City for our pancake making.

But before that, let me share Joelle OOTD. By now, you should know I am a very big fan of Gymboree clothes. In fact lots of her clothes is from Gap and Gymboree. Today she is wearing one from Gymboree too, beside that I also love the white loafer lots which I got it from Taobao. Its stylish, easy to match and most importantly it is so soft and comfortable.

And today happens to be Hubby birthday too.

 

Happy Birthday to the kids’ Papa!!!!!!

 

Forced the boys to make pancakes for us.

 

Enjoying the pancakes and teaching Joelle shape.

 

Saw this cute tent and get her to pose for me to take pictures. She was super uncooperative and took me quite sometime to get a decent shot.

 

They spotted a jumping castle and demanded to go play. Encountered a power trip which resulted in a disruption in their play shortly after they started. But persistent monkeys decided to wait for it to be fix.

 

Powered up with this meat platter and it was really yummy~~~ before we made our way home.

Picnic @ Botanic Garden

We decided to change our initial plan to catch a movie to picnic at Botanic Garden when my brother’s sister rang us and tell us her plan. I love family gathering and feel it’s a great chance for bonding and for my kids to play with Bermes. Bermes is at the age now where he love playing with other kids, so of course he was super-ly happy to see the two big gorgor today.

Bento #57 Simple Pizza

We did a simple Bento for snack today. It was really simple and the boys got a chance to make their own simple Pizza Bento. Well, all I did was to prepare the ingredients for them, and the rest was up to them to “play”! ^^

Fun and Mess with Paints

We did some craft after our Maths Learning. He was really looking forward to it as he really do so so so love playing with paints. I think this vegetable stamps really look lovely (abit like rose maybe), these are the scraps which I have gotten from yesterday dinner preparation after I chop off the bottom part of the Xiao Bai Cai.  I couldn’t bear to throw it away and thought it would be nice to use it to do paint stamping art.

Chinese Stage Show - -《喜羊羊与灰太狼之记忆大盗》

We have been patiently waiting for this day to come and the boys were super duper excited when  we make our way to watch the Chinese Stage Show featuring their favourite characters. This hit Mandarin animated series, starring the super-smart Pleasant Goat who always saves himself and his fellow furry friends from carnivorous wolf couple Wolfie and Wolnie, comes to the Singapore stage for the first time.



The place was already crowded with many excited children waiting for their entrance into the Theatre and of course we were one of them too!!! ^^ Thus you can see the super reluctant smile that my boys gave me when I ask them to pose for me to snap.

PLAYful moments with Playmobil @ Sentosa

Sentosa is always a great place for family to hang out, there are so many activities to do there which I can easily name a few. My boys love the beach (digging sand or a cool dip in the water is fun enough to them) and the Port of Lost Wonder water park most whenever we bring them there. Of course, the main reason why we are here in Sentosa today is for another reason----- Playmobil!!!!!

Thomas & the Hidden Treasure Live

This is a long over due post which I have long forgotten until I was clearing the files in my laptop and saw these pictures. My boys love Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, so I couldn’t pass up this chance when I know there is a LIVE show where they got to see the engines in action.

Duck Tour

We set off for our duck tour today. The boys were excited when they knows about it, especially Javier who has been bugging everyday asking me never ending questions about it. This is my 2nd trip… the 1st time I took this duck tour was about more than 4 years ago when Jayden was about 2 years old. When I asked Jayden about it, he has completely forgotten about this and so I guess this trip would be a good experience for him too! ^^

Our boat

Before we set off, that’s me and D

Beautiful scenery along the way.

Pretty excited….

Guess what we saw along the way. As it turns out, there was a NDP rehearsal today. Thus we saw many soldiers and navy preparing for the parade later on.

A nice picture taken by the tour guide.

We went for a snack after the tour. And the boys were so excited to see their favourite snack – Mua Chee.. :D

These 2 man were so funny, taking turns feeding each other.

Javier enjoying D feeding him.

The trishaw ride marks the end of our tour today. So we are off for our dinner now. BYE!!! ^^

Water Fun @ Jade

The boys have not been to swimming for the past 2 weeks and misses the water terribly! Thus after the continuously pestering cum bugging… we finally brought them to some water play today. Jayden was happy to see water but Javier was having a grumpy session due to the new environment and a tad too cold water.

We went Clip Clop .^. .^.

It seems that D hadn’t had enough of Pasir Ris Park from our previous visit last Sunday. He asks us whether we are keen to pop over there again? I was feeling a tad lazy and sleepy in the late afternoon after Jayden class. But my boys surely doesn’t feel so and thus they happily set off for the park. But the visit today was definitely a fresh one for my boys. :D That’s because they are going for their 1st pony ride today!

A mini excursion

After the i-creative class, we went to my Pil place as today my nephew is officially 1 month old and we miss this little cute baby after not seeing him for 1 week.

Of course, the kids were enjoying themselves while we were there, fishing, cycling, watching show and seeing the chicken.

Despite the hot weather, the kids doesn’t mind one bit and wanted to do some fishing.

Scratch Art

I bought back some Scratch Art from The Art Pencil where Jayden had his art classes. The kids were very keen to do it upon seeing it.

It is not too difficult to do it. There is a wooden stylus provided to scratch off coating the and expose the beautiful surface underneath.

Fun Fun time at the playground!!!!

My niece Glenda stayed over at our place yesterday. My boys were so thrilled to have her with us. It was so cute to see that both of them wanted to sleep togather with her. :D

And of course playground time is a must with so many kids gathered togather. They even make a date with Bing Heng to come over the playground at 5.30pm for a get-togather.

Let’s Play @ Changi

I feel lazy… really lazy to go any place. It was D who suggested to go Changi Airport since our last visit there was quite long ago. It was then that I remembered seeing a blogger mentioned that there is a Giant Garden Inflatable for the boys to bounce!!! :D And I’m sure that my boys would love it!!! :D

Play-doh activities

I don’t like play-doh at all!! but my boys love it!!!!! :( However, given the vast benefit in playing with the play-doh, I decided to go with my boys and let them play with it, but not very very often.. :P

Some benefits are:

development of fine motor skills

stimulates sense of touch

development of finger/hand strength

development of eye-hand coordination skills

My boys’ Buddy

My boys love going over to my neighbor's house to play. Every now and then, they would pester me to let them go over which I rejected them most of the time. Frankly, I am blessed to have very friendly neighbors, they dote on my boys and I do loved chatting with them too.

It’s always very difficult to drag my boys home once they go over! :P

It’s playground time

With D not around for the past 1 week, I gotta handle my 2 very… super… active boys alone. *+* It tends to drive me crazy on some days!!!! So I’d rather bring them for outdoor play, shopping trip, library trip…  just about any place that can keep my boys occupied and of course I do hope that all these activities will burnt off their energy and make them sleep early. :P

After our Pizza dinner tonight (I was feeling lazy to cook for the 3 of us, thus decided to order pizza for our dinner), we happily set off for the playground. It is quite fun to see them play togather, as both of them is forever up to their mischief and vying to outdo each other.

Our fun moments in Sembawang Shopping Centre!!!!

We promised the boys we would bring them to some place fun after Jayden’s I-creative class today. Javier had wanted to go the zoo again when I asked him where he wants to go. But the sudden rain lead us to change our plan. So instead, we brought them to Yishun library to borrow some books follow by going to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some water play as we need to do some grocery shopping there.

Bottle Tree Park

This is our 2nd time here. And my boys enjoyed themselves so much as compared to last time, as they can do fishing today.

Just a brief intro here to those who are new to “Longkang Fishing”. There is a little pond full of guppies, swordtails, etc for kids to fish. It is called the “Longkang Fishing” Pond. It cost $10 per kid to fish in the pond and a tank and net are provided. And I guess most kids would enjoyed this activity tremendously.
