My birthday...

It was my xth birthday yesterday... nothing much planned. Took my boy for his swimming class... got breakfast at Mac's and the Little Monkie #2 spilled the whole bottle of milk on the floor. Afterwards, Little Monkie #1 asked if he could go over to grannies' place for some fun time. Of course :) Unfortunately, Little Monkie #2 who had been whining for the whole morning got to stay home.

Thanks to my hubby for taking me out to the Riverwood Conservancy for the Art in the Park event. They had a few artists there show casing their beautiful pieces; there were also musicians there playing guitars, singing songs, etc. We took one of the picnic tables and enjoyed our lunch. We also got a chance to take some pictures. It's been a while that I haven't taken any of the flower & faux.

The above was taken in between the intermitten raining. I got a couple other shots submitted to the Picture This photo contest organized by Mississauga News. Will see how it goes... anyhow, I had a relaxed and joyful afternoon. That's all it matters.

What about the evening? We went to a Korean restaurant for Teppanyaki and the boys (esp for Little Monkie #1) enjoyed it. It concluded with a bday song from the boys with a couple of pastry daddy got from d/t. Also need to mention that they also made a cake for me with playdoh and toy fries & chips the night before, when we had dinner at my friends' place. It's a nice surprise :)

The Big Day of Amy & Thomas

I was honoured to be one of the guests at this joyful wedding of Amy & Thomas. It's a beautiful day, cheerful bridal party and cute ringboy & flower girls.

Sweet sweet...

Disappointed... then melted...

This is the 2nd week since Little Monkie #1 is in full-day JK. I've been flipping thru' cook books and googling online for lunch ideas, treat ideas, etc. Thought that it may be a good idea to start baking something healthy. Found the X'mas tree baking pan from the bottom of the drawer last night when I was prep'g some banana raisins muffins, so I thought he might be more excited to eat a tree. He likes banana, raisin and has requested treats with some rice krispies. Shouldn't go wrong... Smelled good, tasted good... at least daddy thought so and I thought so. Happily packed 3 of them and put them into his lunch bag. I got a couple packed for Little Monkie #2 as well.

To my surprise... my Little Monkie #1 didn't touch them. Wait... a minor correction... he did have a small bite... see the one on top? That's the one he bited. Quite disappointed...  as a matter of fact, he's not a fan of muffins (the ones from Starbucks may be an exception). Unlike his bro Little Monkie #2, he could finish almost the whole muffin by himself. Little Monkie #1 was really hungry after school and asked for the left over rice from lunch. We ended up taking him to M for a Happy Meal; needless to say, he's become a Happy Boy.

When he got home, we went upstairs to change. He's all ready to go back down for TV time. He hold my cheeks with both of his hands, kissing mommy's left cheek, then nose, then forehead and xoxo... all melted.

Shortly after, I left home to pick up Little Monkie #2. Got disappointed again that the treats were still untouched... he said he's saving it. He really meant it! As soon as he took off his shoes after coming home, he opened his little bag then his little lunch box, hold the X'mas trees one in each of his hands. When he got them done, he found the rubbermaid that keeps the rest and took one that's a regular size. It ended up being in his tummy.

Mommy's all happy now :)

A Special Day of My Little Monkey #1

4 years ago, our first baby Little Money #1 was born. 4 years have been past, it's his first day of JK. Mommy's so proud of him that he didn't cry, in fact, he was so excited of going with a smiley face. He's such a big boy now :)

After school we brought him over to his homecare to pick up Little Monkey #2, as well as having a little party for him with his homecare friends. Grannies came over for dinner with his fav pasta; mommy made a hamburger like soccer ball cake, as per his request that has been continuing on for a few months.

 

Mommy also made some small treats for his daycare party. I guess this batch looks way better :P And Little Monkey #2 has requested for a Mater cake. Umm... I still have a good few months to watch youtube... lol...
