We celebrated the kids' birthdays in one party. I didn't want to have two cakes. It would be too much for us. Then I was blog searching for ideas of a birthday cake for two persons celebrating and stumbled upon a Barbie princess cake with Ben 10 incorporated into one cake. And so I asked my friend if she could do something like. Not exactly like the one I saw but just the concept... she said she could do it... and I asked to make it fondant, pls. And so I was happy with the result:



What can I say? Thank you Grace for taking the challenge and making the cake for my kids. They're so happy when they saw the cake, Samantha being in love with a princess and Schenker being in love with Ben 10.

Since we came back from Brunei, my girl has been displaying some kind of attachment to me. I think it's because I have been leaving her a lot to my parents-in-law this time. When she goes to sleep, she would ask me if she could sleep on my tummy... And she would just roll her head on it. I think it's the "jelly-nish" of my belly fat that's making her feel so comfortable. LOL.

Now we've been spending a lot of time with her and her brother. Since both of them got sick this week, we didn't send them to school. It's good though because we have time to make up for the time we were not around. They're not used to be away from us. That's why.

My kids had been having regular visitors these days - all of them Schenker's classmates in his school. One of the blessings we have here is that 3 other kids from these housing area go to Schenker's class. And they all like to go to the park. Since our house is just across the park, the kids would come here too and play with my 2 kids. Shcneker would normally take them straight away to his room. They would play there for a long time. I am glad because I don't want them to be playing in my living room and mess up everything. My living room furniture is new and I wanna keep it for a very long time. So I'm keeping them safe by having the kids play in my boy's room. Speaking of furniture though, I wonder how much a patio furniture would cost? It would be nice to have one of those in our patio.

Anyways, last night, Hui En only left at about 11 pm. She and her mother (and one other) came to our house to talk about something. Hui En's mom is Indonesian Chinese and can only speak Bahasa (little English). So when we talk, my hubby would be there to interpret for me. She's actually an inspiration because the last time I saw her, she was rather on the plus-sized side. Now, she's very thin.

Would like to have more of her coming to my house so I can dig out her secret.

So when they left last night, I told Hui En she could come to the house and play with Schenker and Samantha everyday. LOL.
