Summer Weekend










We had lots of house work done this weekend. Now it's school holiday in England, Terry's 2 daughters are coming up for a week for their summer holiday next week, we are just tiding up house for their visiting.

Saturday, Terry dusted and hoovered 2 bedrooms on top floor, I put all the bedding into the washing machine for a good wash. It was 30 C, so all the washing can go on the washing line in the garden. Weather is so unpredictable here that I normally just put all the washing in tumble drier to save the hassle of putting out and getting in. After the housework, we went to ASDA for the grocery shopping. I go to ASDA with Daniel every other day during the week, he likes sitting in the shopping trolley bouncing up and down. He would never be bored of this. He would babble loudly producing all sorts of sound these days. At weekend with Terry pushing him, he was virtually shouting with the joy about this novelty. In supermarket I sometimes handed item like cereal box for him to play, these days he can't wait for me to hand things to him. He would grab one himself.

Sunday, Terry hoovered the first floor and the ground floor while i was settling Daniel for his morning nap. After Daniel's morning nap, I prepared the picnic box for our park trip while Terry mowed the lawn at the same time . Amazingly we got all the housework done by 10.30am. Then we set off to the Cannon Hall Country Park for a picnic. Luckily we got there early, the car park would be full had we got there a bit late. The park was packed with families. We had picnic in some shady place. Daniel really enjoyed the picnic. We left the park at 1pm, which was just about the right time to have little snooze. Back home, after Daniel's lunch time nap, he played a bit in his paddling pool in the garden with Terry.

Every time I look at Daniel's photo, I'm surprised how much he and Isabel look alike.

Your backyard is getting so interesting. Daniel will love to play and run around in the backyard when he is older. You will realise how wise it is to have a backyard. The trouble is mowing the lawn, but seems Terry is in charge of that. :))

Isabel is a lot taller than Daniel though!

Also, Daniel's hairs are getting too long. I ought to trim them for him, but I just don't know how to get on the job with him sitting still...

Would be great if Isabel could have some hair transplant from UK... hehe.

Take Daniel to the men's hairdresser and they should know how to handle that.

Isabel' hairs are just a bout right! ;)

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I should give hairdresser a try!
