Ding Ding Ding - Bring in the Festive Cheer

The past week was filled with parties and packing the kids schedule with last minute activities before the school reopens next week. The pictures below shall tell the story of what the Tays had been up to...

Xmas Party at my office

Farmer, Fox, Bird with Tick Tack Tock by Act 3

The last play Kyla attended was with Mildred at Alliance Francaise. The boys were left at home then. Yesterday, Ivy and I tried our luck in bringing the entire troop out on ourselves without our hubbies. We brought the kids for a 40 min play which the kids enjoyed, except for Randall. It was a free seating play on the floor at the Recital Studio, which I think is very suitable for kids as compared to theatres with chairs. It has lots of room for kids to stretch and run about. To my pleasant surprise, my super active Lezane can sit throughout the play without fuss. I had expected him to run amok in the studio. Also we bought books and had it autographed by the unknown author (at least to me). Overall, it was a great day with the kids. Hope to bring them to more plays in the future.

Celebrating Early X'mas with Barney

I did it again! Squeezing with the crowds just to catch a free 20 min Barney Show at United Square. It seems to be a yearly affair for Kyla to watch at least one Barney show. Last year, we caught the show at Lot 1. It is much better as it was near home and she managed to take a photo with Barney without much queuing.

After the Barney show, we spent the evening with a short and breezy stroll at Botanical Gardens to view the 100 Christmas Trees Lightup. When Lezane first entered the garden, he exclaimed "wowh..." He was intrigued by the beautiful sparkling lights in the dark but after a while, he got bored and wanted to be a koala bear again. Kyla and Mildred went around as little photo journalists snapping at each Xmas tree they passed by. I must say they looked really pro in taking the photos. But as for the quality of the photos, you can judge it below.
