与朋友庆中秋（1-9-2012）

在Marina Barrage的上空，飘荡着漂亮的风筝。 这天凉风习习，天气也不算热。是个适合野餐、放纸鸢的好天气。恰巧，我们今天就是约了亲爱的朋友们来聚会、野餐、庆中秋。

媛媛极兴奋地等待她的朋友们的到来。

到了傍晚5点钟，朋友们陆陆续续地到了。我们把草席都铺好，孩子们开始第一个活动--制作手工灯笼。负责人当然就是才华横溢的幼儿美术老师-- Joyce. 孩子们在Joyce 的指导下，完成了一个让他们自豪的灯笼，而我们就坐在一旁聊天、吹风。

为孩子制造快乐的童年回忆是我们这群朋友共同的目的，也是我们深厚的友情的基石。因此，在这样的聚会，除了让小朋友们自由自在地玩乐，我们也带一点小玩意儿，让孩子们更加开心。吹泡泡、玩荧光棒、大人小孩一起跳绳、一起野餐...小朋友没头没脑地互相追逐，也是他们的童年乐趣。不需要花很多钱，不需要新奇的活动，不需要任何的高科技，我们从简单与纯朴中找回单纯的快乐。

这一个中秋活动，大人与小孩都满载而归。

Children's Birthday Parties in July and August

Jaimie attended 3 birthday parties in 2 months. In July, it's her best and favourite jie-jie Seraphine's 8 yrs' old party. Yeow Seng and Shelley invited us to Pasta Mania in Nex for a pizza making session for the kids. What did the adults do when the kids were busy in the kitchen? We catch up with one another! It's really good to be with old friends while the kids enjoyed themselves!

We had another awesome party with another group of awesome friends. It's Cherrlyn's 6 yrs old party! The kids met in Scoop of Art in Marine Parade CC. They chose an art piece to do individually and what did the adults do?

We chit chat, catch up and crack jokes while munching on the finger food. NICE~

The kids had a marvellous time that evening.

Happy Birthday, Cherrlyn dear!

Jaimie's lantern. We put a tea candle inside the lantern and it looks beautiful!

It's Hari Raya and Jaimie was invited to her classmate Kai Qian's birthday bash at Amazing Kids at SAFRA Jurong. Kai Qian was one of her best friends, besides Teryl, Wei Ying and Samantha. I wonder if the girls would remember this beautiful friendship they shared after they leave their childcare at the end of this year.

Pinata was always a hit with the kids. They practically went wild when the sweets fell onto the floor.

As I am writing this post, it suddenly occured to me that birthday celebration is a celebration of friendship too! Jaimie hasn't had a birthday celebration with her friends before. Maybe I should do one for her next year or so. :)

Glamourous Royal Gala

When Joyce told us that she made a booking for Cherrlyn to have a makeover and photo session at Glamour Kiddies, we (the mommies) were all thrilled and suggested that perhaps we should let the children take group pictures! It would be such good memory for them and also document their lovely friendship.

After much arrangement, we finally went to the studio this afternoon. First, the girls get to put on make up and do their hair, much to their delight.

Then, they get a quick nail polish on their fingers and toes.

Ezra is so dashingly handsome!

The children had a lot of fun takinig pictures. The makeover was great, the outfits were cute. However, you must not expect much from the photos taken by Glamour Kids. But it wasn't very important to us. What was most important was that the children really had so much fun dolling up for this "Royal Gala", and remembering the wonderful friendship which their mommies shared because of them. We hope these pictures will bring them fond memories and have something for them to talk about when they grow older.
