weather is so hot

the weather is so hot nowadays. when we reach home, it's the air con we hit the button first. and this is only the beginning. think there are more hot days ahead. global warming? yes, maybe.

donuts, M&M's favourite snack. i can see that mabel's face has changed a lot. her face became rounder from all her non stop eating. fat fat already, not chio already.

marcus has been wanting to buy the magic pen which mabel bought on sunday. well, i purposely want to make him feel the pain. on sunday, when we go ntuc, they all choose the magic pen. then as we walked, again, he saw the cars, he wanted to buy 2 toy cars. of course, i refused. so i negotiated with him, he has to give up his magic pens for the toy cars. he agreed. so he bought the toy cars. and on sunday, he was playing with it happily.

then come monday, he start to 'disturb' or i should say pester his sister to lend him the magic pens. mabel of course, refused to share with the brother. so marcus was very sad. had to remind him that he gave up the magic pen for the toy cars. he seemed to understand this on mon. then on tues nite, he pestered his sister again. i talked to him, carry him on my lap and reminded him that he gave up the magic pens, so he has to suffer the consequences. then he started crying, and he was like so sad face. broke my heart, but i was determined to be firm in this. he has to learn to cope with losses.

but it also broke the daddy's heart. daddy promised to buy him magic pens and also another one for mabel. condition is that nite, mabel has to share the magic pens wif the brother. so in the end, all are happy, except the mummy.

anyway, brought in the table for them to draw and colour. it was like 11 plus at nite. by the time we slept, they are still drawing. has to chase them to bed at 12 plus. gosh, they are such night creatures.
