Many people have asked me before where do I find so much energy to bring the kids to so many different places all the time? Most of my friends who are working mums themselves often feel like they need the weekends to rest and sleep before starting a brand new week, so to them, packing the weekends with lots of excursions with the kids is a major no-no.
I guess hubby and I are both hyperactive adults who cannot sit still. So with two hyperactive kids, we make a complete hyperactive family. Hallelujah.
Well, the truth is, my kids are at home all week, especially the younger one who has not started school. So, it only makes sense that we bring them out to play as much as we can during the weekends. Dull kids who stay at home all the time don’t grow & learn!!! =X If we happen to have a weekend that we do not have to attend birthday parties, weddings, kids blogging events, whatever, we plan our own outings. Even if it’s nothing major, the kids still enjoy the fresh air and walking about.
We were at Pasir Ris Beach a couple of weeks ago and for once, we were there NOT to attend one of the kids’ friends’ birthday party, but our adult friend’s party. The party was at a bungalow chalet and there was a roti prata chef to whip up piping hot roti pratas for us on the spot! Because we were early, we decided to take a walk around. Love the nice warm sunrays on our faces!
The resort was quiet, because it was a Monday afternoon. It was nice to roam around in a quiet little resort.
Until we came to this… And the girls could not resist themselves and decided to take a dip in the cool pool on a warm afternoon.
That explains why they went in without their swimsuits. I was not prepared at all for this. Thankfully, I brought an extra set of clothes for both of them.
Well, rules can be bent sometimes just for the fun of it, literally.
The short dip was most probably the highlight of their day. Which meant it was well worth it. =)
