Playtime

We had try to cramped in as much activities, fun and play during the one month period. Had to maximize and fully utilized time spent! A snapshot on what we did.....

Be warned.....it's going to be one of my longest post and photo bombing....

We get to spend some awesome time alone with Zelyn. Great bonding time and rare opportunity for her to have our sole attention just like an only child!

March term break started and there are lots of kiddies activities everywhere. We went to an exhibition in Suntec City which is a total waste of time followed by bumping into Sofia the princess Meet and Greet session at Marina Square's Disney School's out roadshow. A major event with many play stations relating to the different programs on Disney channel.
Initial plans to indoor playground change to waterpark at Garden by the Bay and finally settled for waterpark at Nex Shopping Mall. Well that's me, all too familiar right! Despite weather threatening to pour, we decide to try our luck and make our way there. 5 minutes into our drive, raindrops fell on the windscreen and I had to prepare Zethan that the waterplay might not happen.

Miraculously the weather is holding pretty well when we reached thus we made the brave decision to continue as planned. At the most they will have short period of fun if it rained. Amazingly it did not and we had to be spoilsport and whisk them away after about 45mins as Zelyn is getting all cold and crumpled on her fingers.

While driving back, the heavy downpour came! Wow, how blessed are we?!!
A praying session and going around a few temples which ended up with heavy downpour too thus trapping us in the car, managing to go into the last temple only!
A simple short trip to the supermarket to stock formula milk and yet they could have so much fun! Classic example of simple form of bliss!
Coming up next was the July babies planned swimming cum feasting party which was planned way in advance and it was so cool that it managed to come true and not diminish somewhere along the pipeline. We had a splashing good time and it was great being able to catch up with the babies, I mean toddlers after the last gathering which was X'mas in 2012!

The pool was fantastic and huge, even the older siblings had great fun. Zelyn was a little skeptical of the pool and when she had warmed up, daddy was not careful caring for her resulting in her dunking under water which frighten her off. The whole cycle was repeated several times and I had a hard time trying to convince her, coaxing her to overcome the fear of gulping down pool water, no thanks to the laid-back daddy.

We had to be spoilsport and pulled everyone out reluctantly as it was a little cold for the young toddlers. Post swimming comes the feasting, junks for the toddlers but who cares, it's just once in a blue moon anyway. Thanks to Ethan's mummy for helping to book the function room and ordering yummy food!

Aftermath, both kids totally knock out in the car, yeah!
The last week before I am due to start my new work, was pretty determined to cramp in more activities. I had to sneak out with Zelyn while Zethan is in school otherwise we would have missed out the whole afternoon waiting for him to return from school. Sorry Zethan!

Playdate for Zelyn with her girlies friends. The intention to have a playdate out was suggested to a mini baking cupcakes playdate instead. Thanks to Kelly's mummy for preparing the ingredients for cupcakes and sharing Kelly's big collection of toys!
An impromptu meeting up with her Godma. Supposed to be lunch with the Godmas but unfortunately Godma Sue Lin was under the weather thus could not joined us so we decided to change our plan to an indoor playground instead. Although it's a small place with rather limited play structures, guess it suffice for the 2 toddlers. The advantage was the 2 mummies could multi task with catching up and eye power to mind the children! 
Last but not least *sniffles*, compensate the boy for he missed out quite a bit of fun. We had a mummy-son bonding afternoon catching a movie - Mr Peabody, just him and me.
With that marked the end of my temporary SAHM privilege and this means no more weekday afternoon playdates as well. Nonetheless we still have our weekend activities to look forward too and this time round weekend starts on Friday night, Hooray to 5 days work week, no more alternate Saturdays!!
