The kids have a new toy recently. It is a Play Tree Climber! It was a pre-loved item given to us. Thank you Uncle William! Jaden was really excited about it when he saw the slide. Luckily , it wasn't too huge and we can place it nicely at our balcony. Actually, I would love to have another of such playground so that the two kiddos can have more fun even without going to the outdoor playgrounds.
Not that I dislike the outdoor playgrounds, but somehow the playgrounds near us do not seem to be in the best condition and there are always too many insects there :(
Jaden had a go at being a cake deco 'master'. As it was his birthday, I thought it will be quite cool for him to make a cake for grandpa and grandma. Well, since we did not have time to really bake a cake, I gathered the next best option will be to decorate a cake instead.
Jaden and I @ the Icing Room. All ready to start. 'Master' at work. Do not disturb. Next, the icing. Jaden: Let me taste it first. The finishing touch. Ahem, of course Jaden had some help from us (Daddy as well) with the decorating, although I can't say we do a good job :P
In our excitement about the cake, we forgot to take the final product. But I guess you can tell from the above pictures how 'beautiful' the cake looked. Hee hee...
Jaden celebrated his 3rd birthday in school once again this year. Initially, I wanted to have a birthday party for him but then as Mei Mei will be having her 1st year birthday bash in April, I felt a bit paiseh to have friends and relatives attend two parties within a three month period.
This year's celebration was a much simpler affair. I just bought cupcakes and biscuits as birthday favours for the kids.
Cupcakes from Sweetest Moments. These are the biscuits favours. Love the colours :) Really glad that I managed to find the single-coloured wrappers. Happy Birthday, Jaden! The thing I like having cupcakes as birthday cake is that no cutting is involved. However, I didn't anticipate the mess that the children created. There was just too much crumbs and cream on the floor and kids:P
Erm...some of the kids didn't know how to peel the cupcake paper liner away and ended up eating bits of the paper. Oops! It's gift time!
