~ Happy Weekend ~

Gladys finally got to go swimming cos Daddy is around to help look after her while Mummy watch over the stuff as Denver is having his swimming lesson.

Later in the afternoon, we went to "Si Ma Lu" Guanyin temple to pray and then have a feel of the mid-autumn festival. There are a lot of people and you can see stalls selling mooncakes, lanterns, pomelo and others. Slightly further ahead is a huge gigantic Mooncake. Denver used the camera to take a few shots too.



We bought a belated birthday present for Gladys at OG. Its a Dresser table and it's amazing seeing Gladys can play with the 'fake' lipstick for so long. She acted like a girl by dolling herself up. Most of the time, she acts like a boy.. hahhaa


I spent some time decorating the house with lanterns too.. :) I have kept the lanterns which their grandmas have given them over the years. During Mid-Autumn festival, they will have many to choose from.


That night, there was a mid-autumn festival at Sengkang CC. We got some free tickets and went there to have a look. There were stalls for mooncake and lantern making, a big stage where the performances are and also an area for "猜灯谜".

Denver saw his Chinese teacher helping out there and also join in with the lantern-making. :) Luckily we were there early and manage to grab a seat.



Denver was a bit disappointed that he could not go to the other stalls as we ran out of time and the queue are too long. :( So he looked grumpy when taking a photo with his newly made lantern.

Sunday was lunch at Mum's place and the kids get their 'annual' lanterns from their grandma. :) Grandpa played with them for awhile. The battery operated lanterns are really noisy.. hahhaha.. All of us were there (which is really rare).. so it's like a mini reunion. Ashton is a big boy now.. about 6 months old. Getting cuter each day. :) Can't wait for Owen's baby to arrive and all the children can play together.
