East Coast Beach

sand play is great cos they don't really need us to get involved, apart from helping them to fetch water from time to time.

The Meg & Mog Show
so I mistakenly thought that there would be trick or treating at every show, so we dressed the girls up and gave each of them their Easter pails, that Steph Watson had given them before they left Evanston, and came to the Marine Parade Community Library theatrette for this production. I thought En would have wanted to be a princess, as usual, but surprisingly, she remembered that she wanted to be Dorothy for halloween this year, and insisted on wearing the outfit that Rose had bought her last year. For Wen & Min, we had easy costumes of ballerina tutus over their dresses, which was perfect.
Oh! the many uses of this lovely easter basket! It can be a hat! And in this instance, we also placed it on the seat and let the girls sit on it and prop themselves higher. just the perfect size and sturdy enough to do that!
the show was fairly entertaining. Good props, funny actors, songs and dances. But it was a little too long and mature for my girls I think.
the girls were most looking forward to trick or treating after the show. I think that's what kept them in their seats. But to our disappointment, that will only be for the show next weekend, when it's actually Halloween. We had to deal with some very upset little girls in the taxi ride home!
Spruce
Police!
I had airport duty early this morning and had to be in my uniform. When I came home, the girls were all awake, and this was their first time seeing me in my uniform! This ensemble looks a little better when I'm wearing shoes, but since we don't wear shoes at home, you'll just have to imagine me with shoes!
I've been working for about 6 weeks now, and on the whole, I find it more restful to be at work than looking after 3 kids at home. I am only half joking when I tell people that I go to work to rest. People who've never tried being a stay home mum have no idea how much energy it takes and how much work it can be! At work, I have a lot of time to myself, and I get to go shopping during my lunch hour sometimes. It's really quite nice. At the same time, the last two weeks were a bit crazy and instead of working my three 7-hour days, I wound up working every single weekday for 2 weeks, and even bits of my weekend. This upcoming week is another long week because of another big event. Thank God for my parents, my in-laws and my extended family who have been so supportive of my going back to work and just helping with the girls in various ways so that I can work in peace, knowing that my girls are in good hands! still, I'm glad that I am only working part time, because neither I nor the girls are ready for me to be working full time yet. This is a nice, best of both worlds situation!

Babysitters in school!
Today, I had to go to my sister's school to borrow the family car and I had brought Wen along with me. I was at the foyer of the school, and one of my sister's colleagues, who is a PE teacher, was there. Wen was doing her usual Miss Congenality thing and going around saying hi to all and sundry and being absolutely charming. Then she noticed that some kids were playing soccer at the courts and she exclaimed, "ball! ball!" and ran over to watch. She loves playing with balls! Well, Mr PE teacher thought her quite cute and did 2 things. 1) He took a ball from the boys and let Wen play with it. 2) He sent another student off to the PE store room to get another ball for Wen!
the kids and Mr PE teacher then proceeded to spend the next half an hour playing with Wen at the foyer of the school! It was quite a sight, my little Wen madly chasing two balls around the place, dripping sweat, squealing in joy each time she caught a ball or threw one! She had a veritable audience around her! Suffice to say she had a ball! (Pun fully intended!)
Wen is already quite a familiar sight in this school, and many of the kids know her as Miss Yeo's niece. She's a minor celebrity there! and as always, lots of students wanting to take pictures of Wen on their phones!

Wen's first drawing
then she headed to the craft table, where I got out a large piece of paper and some crayons for her, and she began drawing away!
