Sail, Sail, Sail Away!

Thanks to Auntie Papat for inviting us to a day of sailing in her yacht. We set off at Raffles Marina this early afternoon.

Handsome Thomas in the boat.

Heidi and her friends (including us the adults!) couldn't wait to hop onboard too!

Auntie Angeline and Joshua.

We excitedly posed and took many pictures, while enjoying the strong seabreeze and a little chit chat session. The kids entertained themselves with story telling and games inside the yacht's cabin.

Heidi and Mummy!

Our captains for the day!

After our sail, the kids adjourned to Raffles Marina's playroom....

and had a swim afterwards.

The kids had lots of fun today and so did us adults. Thanks again to Auntie Papat's invitation for the sail in her yacht today! :)

Phoebe Turns 5!

Thanks to Phoebe for the invitation to her 5th birthday party at the comfort of her own home. And the theme of the party is Peppa Pig! :)

Heidi participated in various activities like the colouring session where she was given a Peppa Pig colouring set.

Phoebe also requested the presence of her other good friends/classmates like Yen Xin, Carrie and Venice who arrived a while later.

The gals sure had a lot of fun!

Then the pinata was brought out. And when the string was pulled.....

all the children grabbed the sweets!

The lovely birthday cake and the spread of party favours.

Heidi and the Peppa Pig cookie pop.

Once again, a very happy birthday to Phoebe the birthday gal! :)

Staying Over At The Grandparents'

We all stayed over at Ye Ye and Nai Nai's for the past week of Heidi's school holiday. She was in good hands with her grandparents and uncle while Daddy and Mummy went out for work. (I was involved in a temporary roadshow.)

Over the past week, she had gone cycling at the East Coast Park, went swimming downstairs, had fun sand playing at the beach with her beloved grandparents as well as at the Singkids Playstation at the airport. She enjoyed her stay there with her grandparents tremendously and even refused to go back home when it was time to.

First Photobook

We finally received Heidi's very first photobook from Auntie Wendy which is meant for her as a birthday present (Auntie Gina did the artwork!).

Heidi is thrilled to see many pictures of her first trip to the US last year as well as of her 5th birthday celebrations this year.

This photobook sure hold many of our gal's fond and precious memories of her first long haul holiday trip last year. :)

"Racial Harmony"

Heidi drew and made these finger puppets! She says this is a Malay lady and an Indian lady....

and this is a Chinese girl and a Chinese boy.

Artworks

Heidi's artworks for the past few weeks -



"Father's Day!"

It's Father's Day! Heidi drew her Daddy and her at a swimming pool while Venice drew her and her Daddy flying a kite and with a fish shop behind at the background.



"Bear"

Mummy : "What is this drawing about?"
Heidi : "That is Mummy Bear and Baby Bear."
Mummy : "Then where's Daddy Bear?"
Heidi : "Go work."



Based on the book called The Big Animal Mix-Up, the children are asked to draw their own perception of mixed-up animals. Teacher Joanne read the whole book to the children before they started on their work.



Heidi seemed to remember particularly this page in the book because....



"Mixed-Up Animals"

Heidi also drew her own giraffe with a snake body! While Venice came up with a rabbit with the body of a fish. :)

Fantastic 5!

My dear gal had her advance birthday celebration last Sunday at Jurong Safra's Kidz Amaze. Had a Toy Story theme with her dressing up as Jessie in her costume bought during our trip to the US last year.

This year was a little more special as I had specially baked the mini cupcakes to go along with her main birthday cake from ovenscreations. A professional photographer was also engaged to take down the special moments. There were also an express printout service where our guests brought home instant photo prints. The grandparents were the happiest with the express printout service, I think.

Heidi was one happy gal when she received her lovely presents! :)

On her actual birthday birthday, we had another celebration with Venice and her family at Kidsworld, The Singapore Zoo. The gals had a blast at the waterplay!

Happy birthday to our gals who have turned 5! :)
