Sunday's ambitious morning activities...

Sunday in Singapore, meaning no assistance from Nady.... Cannot stay inside as the girls will start climbing on the walls and so will I... Decide to meet up with Michelle and family at East Coast Starbucks for breakfast - and decided to walk there with the kids. Would have worked fine as long as I had brought the double-stroller, but oh no, the ambitious Sara (or insane?) decides to take a single stroller to Matilde and a scooter to Hannah. It was fun for about 100 meter, where the fun turns in to a nightmare, 'yiehoo', and we only have a 2 km walk ahead of us!!! Somehow, I managed to get Hannah to get up on the scooter for about 1-k and there, she falls straight on her belly and forehead - why didn't we all just stay at home?!!!
Well, we did manage to get to Starbucks, obviously a lot later than expected, but the kids were happy to have reached the destination (i.e. bagels & juice) and see their friends Paige & Rylie, and mummy to get some adult time, even though most of the time was spent ensuring no spilled drinks, no iPads on the floor, potty visits, 'be-nice-to-your-sister' comments.... but we concluded it was worth getting out :-)

Plan was to take a cab back but Hannah wanted to run in the park, so I won't argue with that. Both the kids ran most of the way, with plenty of stops for patting dogs ("-EXCUUUUSSSEEE me, can I pat your doggy?!?"), looking at coconuts, picking flowers, talking to other kids, you name it. The last kilometer, I convinced them to both sit in the stroller which was a hit - and even better, they fall asleep!! What a great start of a Sunday morning :-)
