This is how weekends should be.

Life's been quite good, for this weekend so far.

Hub is away for business trip while I'm stuck at home with the kids. When they get rowdy and noisy, it's timegood idea to take them down to drown the endless ruckus they create with outside noise. After all, the 4 walls do keep all the soundwaves around and bounced back to my ears making my head thump.

The last time we were at CK's home for New Year's eve BBQ nite, we felt sorry for the boys as they do not know how to ride a bicycle or skate with the roller blades. Theirs obviously are good at it, seeing the space they have around in their home to play at it anytime they like. That's one of the disadvantage of living in non-landed home, without much space to play in.

But hub was mighty determine that the boys learn to skate and play with him together. So, over the last weekend, we bought each of them a pair of skates. The boys were so eager to learn the new skill.

When I take them down to the pool area, the fresh outside air really gives me a change of heart and mind from frustatingly agitated to peacefully bliss. Watching the boys skate really tickles me to the bone. They are so funny, especially didi. Wished I had taken the cam to take their pics, I must remember to do that the next time.

Korkor asked if they can go swimming on Sunday, and I promised them a morning dip with the buns and milo for breakfast at the pool area. And that was what we had this morning. It was such a nice day. Can read books, with a cup of coffee in hand, them having fun, it's the best combination ever.

Later after lunch and shopping for fruits at the mall, we were home again, this time I laid out the table for them to draw and play on water colors. Gee.. they were so excited playing with water colors, I regretted we hadn't done more of these activities earlier during the holidays. After dinner, it's time to tuck them into bed earlier since it's schooldays again tomorrow. *yawn* I should be going to sleep too now, but yau want to watch another episode of "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" in this quiet night. How leh?
