We have to plan our strategy for attack!
Take cover! They are spewing fire and hurling rocks!
And we ATTACK!!
Yay! All slain!
One for all and all for one! Woohooooo!!
Mummy: And this is why kids need 2 parents. I would never have thought of games like this to play with you two! Not that i fully approve of the violence though....
I wont let u down - i can run with a cracking pace!
Here we are in action!
The run was a cinch for me!
Icy cold chocolate milk as a reward after the run - Yums!
And then it was Baby's turn to run. Here he is sweltering in the relentless heat and starting to melt down already...oops...
He's totally NOT HAPPY...
We even met Ian and Faith there!
Baby was actually supposed to run together with 2 other kiddos, who were the offspring of Mummy's old school friends. It was touted to be an exciting and entertaining 4F kids dash (4F was Mummy and her friends' secondary school class many many moons ago..hehe..) but alas, one came down with a fever at the last minute and didnt turn up, and the other clung on to his Daddy the very same way Baby did Mummy.
I guess the heat really did them in!
The miserable boys had to be carried all the way from start to finish
Look! They even adopted the same miserable pose over their mummies' shoulders!
Its the Cold Storage Kids Carry not Run!
Finally, after being passed to and fro like a baton between Mummy and Daddy, Baby "completed" his run
Congratulations Daddy and Mummy! U did it! haha...
Wah he still has the cheek to guzzle the choc milk, he didnt even exert himself!
And then Gong Gong came over to join us in soaking in some of the carnival spirit
Taking pics with each of the different mascots
Ahhh! Here he is getting into some action at last!
Refuelling with popcorn and an apple
While Baby stuffed his face with cotton candy...tsk tsk...he didnt run and now he's eating junk!
And so, till next year!
Yippee what a treat!!
It was a great day out, cloudy, cool and breezy!
And look who came to join us! Shukai and Kaining!
They even brought along their racquets so we could play some badminton
We played some silly games as well
Madcap antics!
And here's proof that Mummy's training has improved my runs
No boy can catch me now, Daddy!
All in all it was a fun, impromptu day out!
Mummy and her 2 fav students aka god daughters preparing my party food
While i took my beauty nap upstairs
The bouncy castle in its full glory
Alas, as soon as my guests started arriving, the skies opened and it began to pour.
Daddy was pretty chagrined and he even made a pact with God. He bargained that if God could hold the skies so that i could have fun with my friends, he would begin to eat vegetables.
Mummy was both touched by his overwhelming desire for me to enjoy my party and amused at the same time.
Because we ALL know that Daddy and vegetables are never mentioned in the same breath, right? Mummy has been trying to get him to eat his greens for the past 17 years to no avail!!
My guests huddling inside from the rain which threatened to make my party a wash out!
Voila! Mummy's Underwater themed party food - Octopus sausages, Magic wands, Fish and jelly on sticks, Crown sandwiches...what a spread for my friends!
I guess God must have wanted Daddy to start eating his greens cos the rain stopped soon after and all of us scrambled out to begin the mayhem!
And then the madness begins!
Goofing around with my pals
Rare indoor pics before we scooted off outside again!
My friends hard at work on their goody bags
In my element...
...jumping around non stop!
All this time Baby stayed within the safe confines of the house, all the brouhaha outside was too much for him!
Check out the fracas!!
Are u calling it quits?? Get up!!
Let's go again!!
Or maybe we could scale the walls?
Or roll around shrieking like a crazed banshee?
Phew what a workout!
OK i really need to catch my breath now...
And then the skies opened again, but it was an opportune time for everyone to be ushered into the house for cake cutting and pinata demolishing!
You can tell i was totally over the moon dat day huh?
My lovely princess cake
Mummy had an "accident" the night before while attempting to bake my cake so we had to buy this cake from the store
And then it was time for the pinata!
Too many kids and too little goodies could be stored in the pinata so Mummy had to "manually" drop the bounty from the sky
Wah!! Chiong ah!!
And right after all that excitement, the rain stopped and we all rushed out for more action.
God is good!!
Check out my flying stunts!
No holds barred!!
WOOHOO!!!!!
And as per the last time, i was the first in the castle and the last out. I literally jumped till the very last minute when the rental guys came and deflated the castle.
Still going strong at 8pm
My crazy Mummy joining us in our inane stunts
Ure still scared baby???
Haiz ok maybe you should wait till you're older, then you wont get crushed by all the crazy kids!
You can be sure i slept like a log that night, but not before...
...opening all my presents!
A big thank you to everyone who made my birthday a roaring success! *Muakz Muakz*
And yes, Daddy IS eating his vegetables now! Hehe...
