Our Christmas tree in US was a whooping 1 foot tall. It was not too bad, considering the fact that it was an optic fibre tree which we decorated with red apples. Jerald would pick apples from the trees every other day. =) Oh well, there were only so many things we could do in winter at home.

J decided that our Ikea tree wasn't much of a tree. It had no points, was like a "dress" that we would "drop" from the top & it unfolded itself. The boys enjoyed "dressing" it up. For the 1st time in our life, our tree could actually be fully dressed.

Alpha would tear open presents under our tree, push the tree over, chase baubles around the house, pull ornaments from the lower branches, shred a whole box of tissue so we could have a white christmas. Our "xiao bai" was such a white bundle of mischief.

lazy days

school holidays have sneaked up on us. ok, to be honest, we had been looking forward to it. =) so J's at home more often. with him at home, the boys always find it hard to nap. they would be pestering him, "what can we do?" "i've nothing to do."

they know mummy cannot drive. the most i can do for them is to bring them on a bus ride to sembawang shopping center - splash park, playground, Giant, pet store to see the jumping hamster, sun plaza (shopping mall)'s library, post office, NTUC, or an MRT ride to Grandma's house.

7.5 months & going

Why is she wearing a hat at home? She just came home from a sunny day outside. Weekdays are busy days for her. Sending one big brother to school after another. Coming home for milk, quick nap (if any), simmering in the heat of the kitchen while Mummy cooks & off to another fetching one big brother from school after another.
