Weekend Updates

We had a hot weekend right across Sat to Sun. It was so hot that we just had to get out of the house.

On Saturday, the boys had their usual chinese lessons. after that i took didi for a swim while the other lazy two stayed home. Later on we went to Costco and then to Eugene's house. Went back late and continue our tvb marathon.

Joel's garden was drying up from the heat and i had to quickly water them.

Luckily mom's vietnamese mint is still striving under the hot weather. I got rid off the crazy thyme and cut down the rosemary and mint. might want to consider moving all the herbs to the front garden as the back is just too shady.


 this is the vietnamese mint planting at the back garden.

 Earle gave us a lemongrass plant to add to Joel's collection. I don't think he will want to eat them but we are having more plants now. The front part here is full of sun which is perfect. I got rid of some other weird plants before creating this patch. will be adding some flowers and my lemon tree soon.

 This is my lil boy hugging on to his pringles even while asleep. Our shopping at Costco with one active boy running all over and one sleeping in the trolley.

 Later in the evening we went to the park nearby. it is a beautiful park and we will make it a point to take them there often. they truly enjoy it.

 isn't it obvious? :)

 On Sunday, joel's bestfriend attended church with him. after church we head down to the city to see the CNY festival at Crown. there were lots of shops opened selling food and stuff.

 we got lots of food, munching and just walking under the heat, running after the boys, screaming at them. so it was a pretty fun day.

 Joel and Jules enjoying the kung fu show. we got them identical caps with solar powered mini fan. really helpful in the heat.

The lil boy knocked out again. too much sun and play. slept for a good 2 hours and didn;t want to sleep at night.

i baked some muffins and lemon bars over the weekend. yes, managed to slot some time to prepare some snacks for them. joel didn't like the lemon bars, i think cause i messed up. sigh.. never bake when you are tired and not focus. the filling over spilled to the crust and all i have is a big lump of lemon mess.
muffins were ok, did like them and i kept some for Joel's lunch box next week. i will be making fruit bars for him after this batch. Trying to give him as much home made snacks compared to store bought ones. Weekdays needs to be healthy eating and we will have some sinful treats on the weekends.

that's the weekends. boys are awfully tired today. hopefully they won't be cranky.
