It has been a stressful weeks for me. 2 trainings falling on the same month disrupted all my initial plans. The daily
family routine was messed up, I have to travel more often to/fro office and off site, working long hours continuously for consecutive 2 weeks.... etc. Well, I can't complain much now... COZ IT's OVER!!! Haha.... Didn't wish to dig it out as it will require efforts to think back the unhappiness occurrence for the past weeks. Anyway, as the title of this clip says... it's about Easter outing. The Easter outing wasn't planned properly. I felt a little guilty especially when the kids are so excited on Thursday night, asking me repeatedly what they will be doin
g the next day. Especially Ashley who knew it was a holiday, and she kept throwing ideas to Cieran, what they could do. From zoo, to wild wild wet to Ikea playground... the 2 little ones (or rather just Ashley) had non-stopped ideas. Cieran was a 'follower' getting excited over Ashley's fantastic id
eas. Haha! Well, actually I did give a thought in the afternoon and planned to buy some mini chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and have a educational discussion with them about what is Easter Day and why eggs, hot cross buns etc. I have printed and edited a clippings found in the Internet on Easter Day and planned to share with the kids. A pity that this didn't work out as I was upset over something, it slipped my mind in getting the purchases and I had left the clippings in the office. After putting the children to bed (which is a challenge, since they are so excited over next 
day's program), I gave a seriously thought what we could do on a Easter holiday. Still wanting to rope them into the festival (though I am not Christian), I decided that the children could do eggs painting. Glad that there are still eggs in the fridge (though not with white shells) but that will do the job. The morning was great with bright sunshine. Ashley was up early since she is all ready for a fund day. Immediately she asked where will we be doing for the day. Cieran love my idea of painting eggs and the 2 kids jumped with joy when I threw the idea to them. Instead of having eggs painting at home by the car pouch area, I decided to bring them outdoor by the sea since the weather looked great. The next hour was spent being busy at the kitchen. Rushing the kids to clean up and dressed up, boiling the eggs, cooking some snacks for breakfast to bring along, packing extra clothing and getting the paints and brushes...etc. T
his mummy was definitely working hard for a fun morning for the kids! (sigh! what to do? Daddy is always not around to help) Thanks to having a car to drive which was really handy, especially when I have so many stuffs to bring along. But, getting parking was expected to be tough on a holiday. Though we were not late (around 9am) arriving at East Coast, the parking along MacDonald and the next 2 car parks were already full. Well, I need to be near ro facilities, especially now that Cieran is on diaperless... near to toilet is a must! Waited a while in vain, I drove up further and finally got a 
lot. Not too near to shops where I can easily buy drinks, but a good one where there's a nearby toilet. Hehe! We found a table under a big tree that provides shade. Soon, we were settled down. Ashley was eager to paint, but I insisted that they should took their breakfast before any painting. Both children took some hot dogs and steam man tau. Not long, I laid the paints and brought out the eggs. Both children shouted with joy...haha! I enjoyed watching them get dirty with paints on their hands. As usual, mummy took photos while the children were at work. :-p Each of them got to 2 eggs to paint, while mummy got 1
. Told them that we could have eggs hunting game when the paints dries up. The children shouted 'YEAH!'. After washing up, we went for a short walk by the beach. Cieran had been a real good boy. He is under toilet training, and this is the first time I had him outdoor diaperless. He had not wet his pants at all and has been telling me when he needs to go toilet. Three thumbs up for Cieran! The children didn't have enough with painting. After the walk, they continue their art & craft with colouring. Lucky I have made preparations! Ashley choose to put on colours on her pottery fish while Cieran got colouring book. He choose a fish picture as well. We stayed till noon when the weather starts to get hot. Our next stop will be Kallang MacDonald. Not that East Coast doesn't 
have one, but coz it will be very crowded...so I decided to bring them to Kallang branch instead. I ordered a happy meal for the children to share (coz we are all not hungry) and Ashley wished for the toy. On our way home, little Cieran slept in the car. Ashley was tired too... thus the 3 of us took a nap together! :-) We hadn't forgotten about the treasure hunt. When the kids woke up... they reminded me! I had fun hiding the eggs in the house and they had fun searching for them. Our Easter day ended with lots of laughter.... together! ;-)
hat I have taken on my mobile, I realised how my kids have grown.
