mabe's birthday celebration at chalet

hmmm, ok, i'll load the pictures once i get hold of the photos.

let's see, the description first.
fri - checked in at around 4. then get ready the various things for BBQ. chalet is at east coast. accomodation, so so, can be greatly improved.
had to place the bbq pit near some lights, as the lighting is rather poor. so how to see if the food is cooked or not? lots of food for lots of people. then cut birthday cake at 9 plus. then guests start to leave slowly. mabel asked for permission to open her presents.
children slept at around 11 plus, we continued to drink until 2 plus (oh yah, ser, haven't pay you for the blue label yet) then went to sleep. wake up at 6 plus, the air con is very cold.

sat - woke up at 7am. too cold. got 2 coupons for breakfast. went for breakfast. we started at 7.30am. we were out of the cafe by 7.50am. cycled to macdonalds to buy breakfast for the children and coffee. after they had breakfast, we all went to the beach to play with sand. this part of east coast, the sand is much softer. the kids had a great time playing with sand. they had their pants wet while they tried to scoop water. the water looks so refreshing. so we all walked down to the sea. we were totally wet. all five of us. it was very new to the children. they have never really been in the sea before and they enjoyed swashing up and down with the waves.

after we go back, it's vege out time in the chalet because the children are waiting for their cousins to come and then go swimming together. so in the afternoon at about 2 plus, we wll went swimming. The children had a great time playing and swimming. they all had floats, especially max, so not afraid that he will fall. we went to the deeper pool and all of the children, including max had a swimming competition. of course, max lose, because all he could do was turn round and round on the spot. He is very funny. he said 'swimming...' then he pose a swimming pose. so cute. my sister in law bought a camera that can take pictures underwater. cool. the older children each had a picture of them taken underwater.

after bathing, we went cycling. by then, the children were so tired from the swimming, they were cycling so slowly. and max was sleeping!!! we hired a bicycle with a front seat for baby. so as we were cycling, suddenly max kept nodding his head, he actually fell asleep. so we had to turn back.

then as the children were back in the chalet, they had a game of monopoly with adrian junior while we busy ourselves with preparing the bbq once again. that nite, everybody went back at 10 plus. so tired today, slept at 12 midnight.

sun - woke at at 7.40am. with the blankets we brought from home, it was so much warmer to tuck underneath the blanket. again, went to the cafe for breakfast, also stayed less than 1/2 hour. went to BK to buy breakfast for them. after the children had their breakfast, it was one last swim before we check out. the children were so happy. after the swim, after bath, we checked out.

i'm glad that mabel and not forgetting marcus and max, had enjoyed themselves. it was very tiring to prepare for the chalet. do you know we brought so many things to the chalet (food and clothings and kettle and children's milk and bbq things) it looks like we shifting house like that. the chalet itself was tiring too becos the programme for the children is packed closely together. but it was a great bonding time with the children at night and they are considered good and well behaved. they could sleep anywhere, not cranky.

after we reached home, we just want to have a good meal. so we went to brewerkz to eat. the children, needless to say, ate the ice-cream and brownie. only drank 1 glass as was too tired and full. on the way back home, all of us were sleeping in the car. poor dear dear had to drive and i think max snored!

after we reached home, all of us immediately hit the bed and took a nap. It was a fruitful and packed weekend. which explains why now i have to keep marking because i didn't do any marking at all during the weekend. so i'll be ending now.
