While hubby's away

Hubby went off to HK last month and I took the kids out to the Curve one day.  We went to Ikea (for currypuffs and to play), Popular bookstore (wanted to get a dictionary), playground, Lego store, lunch and Tesco. It was... exhausting!  It was as if they had superglue on, it was that tough to pull them away from whatever they wanted to play with.  I get them out from the small play area in Ikea, they went to the show bedroom to fiddle with everything there.  I get them away from that, they went to the soft toys area.  From soft toys to art materials, to toy kitchens to... and that was ONLY Ikea!  Repeat XX times at all the other stops.

Hubby went off to Taiwan last weekend and I went to the Curve again.  This time, I parked them at the playground with the maid and dashed off to Ikea/Popular by myself.  Bought what I needed and came back for them. (Of course, I always have my fingers crossed that nothing happens under the maid's care!).  This trip was definitely more relaxing.  We went for lunch...

Yummy pasta lunch!

Clowned around with this orangutan...

Check out our new friend!


The girls found the electronic store directory and seemed to think it was a giant iPad...

Let me press! No, ME!

Hey, stop that!

No, YOU stop that!

Haha ok it wasn't completely relaxing!

    Nancy, they'd have been there longer if I hadn't been worried someone would come to sell me something haha.
