Finally Mole

After first setting eyes on this creature back in July 2020, and frequently going back to visit it (blogged about this in Oct 2020), SE finally decided she wanted it.

Mummy, I want to get Mole

  Finally Mole is out of Toys r Us.

Hopefully this will be the start of a beautiful relationship. :p

Merry Xmas!

I managed to take some annual leave and was planning to take the kids somewhere.  Already planned Ipoh and a beach nearby.  Then hubby balked at going anywhere with the high number of Covid cases.  Viewpoints differ - cases are high but how long should we cower at home?    

Decided to see Xmas deco at just one mall and selected 1u.  Went without hubby since he refused to go.

See? This is a gnome

Mummy says to POSE

Pose we shall!

Mummy likes this gnome with no eyes

Gnome house behind us

Inside the gnomes' house. Cheers!

Merry Xmas everyone!

This gnome/hobbit type of deco appeals to me.  But it was confined to this area.  Guess they had to watch costs during these times. 

Co-sleeping with SE

Or rather, my sleeping challenges.  I was going to take the single mattress leaving the kiddos to share the queen one.  Then JE decides to take the small mattress so fine, I share with SE.  It's not enough getting an elbow, a knee, a head unceremoniously plopped onto me during the night.  If I get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, somehow in those few minutes she often finds her way to be a nuisance.

Took a photo as proof.  I went to the toilet and came back to find this...

Zzzzz

And she's getting bigger and harder to push away.  I ended up rearranging the pillows and scrunching up into the space available.

Found an earlier photo of her plopping herself onto hubby... 

zzzzZZzzz

Pizza plant harvest

I have been so busy on the Shopee app haha.  There is this Garden game where you 'plant' something and 'water' it often then harvest it.  This lunch was courtesy of the app and my repeated attention to my 'pizza plants'.  Pizza is no longer on offer as a 'seed' for planting.  Good thing I managed to 'harvest' four pizzas.

Pizzas from mummy ignoring us to play her game

The small one was fussing about not getting to choose the pizza.  Or for something else.  I forget.  This one is prone to getting riled up about the smallest things.

  

Hmffp.  Hmffff!

Ahmmm! Yumms!

I moved on to 'planting' doughnuts after that hehe.

The Smurf

SE was wearing her pants like this.  Told her she looked like a smurf.  But later thought it should be Obelix from the Asterix picture books instead.

What smurf?

HAHAHAHA!

My silly girl.

A weekend

Or rather, what we ate one weekend!   

Grilled chicken, beef burger, chilli con carne baked fries

The kids are always more interested in drinks than food.  I usually veto having a drinks order as JE from young didn't eat properly and it'd be worse if she fills her tummy with drink.  And I generally want to scold someone (usually hubby the culprit) on the occasions when they do get a drink as both of them would be too busy on the drink instead of eating.  Yes, ONE drink.  Well they only have one food order between the two of them so logical to have only one drink as well.     

Sometimes I would relent if they ask for drinks after their food is almost finished.  They loved this milkshake.

Vanilla milkshake, mmmmm

Another day, cakes at Secret Recipe.  Got a good deal from Shopee for 3 pieces of cake.  Should have bought another voucher while it was valid!  Enjoyed all the cakes we selected (rose lychee, chocolate moist and salted caramel macadamia cheesecake).

Rose lychee cake

And the kiddos like the ice-blended drinks at this cafe called Kopi Mesin.

Chocoberry is yums! Next time will choose choco-nilla

Suffice to say all this cafe-hopping doesn't come cheap!  Easily RM15 for a drink, another RM15 for a piece of cake... oh my cheapskate side grumbles. 
 

Condo

Our apartment is not such a bad place to be. It's small but comfy.  Nothing much to do now though since the facilities are closed due to MCO.  At least we have nice food.

Big breakfast with baked beans, hash browns, sausage

They don't want other things like fried egg or mushrooms.

Roast chicken with fries and salad

Wraps with chicken, egg, mushroom and veggies

Penguin ice-cream!

I love being able to walk downstairs and buy all kinds of stuff.
