School holiday - Sciencentre
| During school holidays we make sure we visit the museum, state library, parks, etc. And yesterday we went to the Sciencentre. It offers hours of interactive, science-based fun for kids of all ages (including the 'big kids'!) There are no 'visitors' at the Sciencentre - everyone is a 'participant'. This place is a one hundred percent hands-on experience! ![]() The illusion table - Ethan's head on a plate. ![]() T-Rex and Krystina --- Krystina looks like eating the fruit in the plate ![]() ![]() crystal ball to find out the winning lotto number?? :-) ![]() koala photo - found out later if you take a picture you need to give donations. ![]() dinosaur ride ![]() Ethan eating ice cream after a long day ![]() cute lips:-) to get more info click Sciencentre Labels: dinosaurs, ice cream, museum, school holiday, science |

Sports
| Krystina’s school is offering after school sports program for extracurricular activities such as gymnastics, music and cheerleading. We are looking at joining her in a cheerleading lessons since she’s always jumping, dancing and likes tumbling around. This will develop her social and teambuilding skills. Not to mention, wearing cheerleading uniform is really cute. Football and soccer are very popular sports for boys. Some of Ethan’s friends have soccer & football lessons in the park every weekend and he said he want to try it too. This type of sports teaches children discipline, to be competitive and be physically active which is kids nowadays needs because of the growing number of obesity in the world.

Happy Mother's Day
| Krystina's presents to Mummy. She came to Mummy's bed around 7 am to greet me 'Happy Mother's Day' and gave me kisses and hugs. Then went back to her room to get the flowers she's been hiding in her closet and said 'I love you' and handed me the flowers. Very sweet little girl. Then her brother said the same thing and another hugs and kisses. Just the right present every Mum would love. Daddy prepared a big breakfast. At lunch time, we booked a table at Hotel HQ as they are having mother's day special offer. Mother eat for free and kids eat for free as well. Lunch supposed to cost us $116 - but only paid $50 for a 3 course menu including champagne for mum's only. Labels: christmas presents, flowers, mother's day |
