Checking out East Coast Park over the Weekend

11 June 20112 Comments

I’m SO enjoying the school holiday!

Well, especially THIS school holiday.

Because I don’t need to think about going through homework, reviewing for tests, and sending / picking up the kids from school! =)

Not needing to do all that helps a lot when you have a three-week-old baby around =)

But. I don’t want the two older kids to be stuck at home though.

I too will feel too ‘couped up’ if I’m home for days and days.

So.

Last weekend, we all went to East Coast Park so Anya and Vai could have some sand play fun.

They both did have fun in the outdoors.

They buried their legs with sands, and made sand castles (errr, I think they were castles, hehe)

Daddy played with them for a while. And sat down next to me to relax and chat.

I sat back with Baby Brie in a sling.

(She’s still sleeping a lot, and as I’d breastfeed her on the go as and when she asks for it, it does make going out and about with her so much easier for me =)

Anyway, it was a nice day out for all five of us.


How’s your June school holiday so far?

Hope you’re all well and are enjoying your time together with your loved ones …

    Hi Joan =)

    Both my kids (7yo and 4.5yo) no longer nap in the afternoon, but this school holiday, they’d sleep late (about 11pm) and wake up at about 9.30am.

    By the time they’ve showered and have breakfast, it’s already close to 11am, and usually I let them play or watch a DVD (only once a day this school holiday. On school days, they’d watch on Mondays and Wednesdays only).

    On Thursdays, they have ‘computer games time’ =) Where they get to play online games for about 45mins each (they don’t ‘surf’ the internet, for internet safety reasons. So usually they tell me what games they’d like to play, eg. Diego or Dora, and I’d have the game pages opened for them)

    In the afternoons, they’d either play with each other, do their homework if any, read a book, draw and sketch on their own, play Lego bricks, go cycling / playground downstairs, or we’d go out, to the nearby mall, the library or to the supermarket to get some grocery (I cook everyday, so gotta ‘top up’ the ingredients =)

    When there’s Daddy around, we can afford to go a little further (like, East Coast Park 🙂 I do plan to let them have some sand play fun at Sentosa this school holiday (Sentosa is easier to go to, so I can go there without my hubby, and just me with the kids)

    Hope it helps =)
