Singapore

Quick update ... not so many photos this time :-)
.
Saturday morning at 8am we caught a bus to Singapore, we just walked down the road a bit to the bus, so that was relativity easy! The bus was pretty full and the kids were okay! Maddison spent much of her time doing this ... making eyes and Grandma & Grandad :-)

And Aaron spent the entire 5 hours watching movies and playing with the playstation! He didn't want to get off the bus and complained very LOUDLY at the stops!

The first stop had a playground, so we spent some time there after visiting the loos. Let the kids run off some excess energy ;-)

I'd recommend the bus, particularly if you were travelling on your own or with older kids :-) heheee 5 hours on a bus with two rowdy little rascals like ours was a bit of a challenge, but they did really well considering. (The trip back on Tuesday was better as there was only 5-6 other passengers so the kids got out of their seats and explored the back of the bus a little bit and didn't get in anyones way which was good!).

On Sunday Aunty Irene's sister met us and took us to this nice restaurant for lunch. We sat outside and could see the sea and the hundreds of boats waiting to go into the port and we were close to the airport and the flightpath for the landing planes was right over head. Kept Aaron

occupied watching them.

I've made these pics small sorry, but you can just make out of the boats in the distance here.

Maddison enjoyed feeding herself rice!

Aaron had his eye on the playground the entire meal time. Not sure exactly how much lunch he had, but he was very keen to go down the slide!

This was Monday morning ;-) Two little darlings in our bed! (Wish they were like this more!!!)

Lyndon came back one day with this bag for me :-) heheee Chocs were delicious too!

On Monday Lyndon, Aaron and Mum & Dad went exploring on the train. They did quite a bit of sightseeing all around. Had a great time and had one very tired little boy at the end of the day :-) I stayed back with Maddison as I wanted to go back to a scrapbook shop (as you do!!) and she really needed a sleep.

Here's some pictures Aaron took on their train journey! ("I'll just photo this building Daddy")

"And these diggers"

" And these cranes"

So that's us! We left Singapore by bus again at 2pm on Tuesday and Mum and Dad got a taxi to the airport and they flew out later that night. They are back home now and Aaron spent quite a bit of yesterday asking me "Where's Grandma? Where's Grandad? Why didn't they come on bus?" Then a bit later when he was looking at the world map he'd say "Oh here they are!!" (while pointing at the picture of the penguins at the bottom of the South Island heheheee).

Yesterday morning Aaron threw up his breakfast, went back to bed and slept for 2 hours. At lunch he told me he didn't want to go to school he wanted to go to bed, so that's what happened. Maddison went to bed and I put Aaron in our bed and lay with him for about 40 minutes, he was real quiet then after 40 minutes he rolled over real close and said "Aaron waken up Mummy"!! Huh!

.

This morning he woke at 9am ... after 13 1/2 hours sleep! Think he's just got a bit overtired as he's a box of birds and hasn't had a temp or anything. So roll on this afternoon so he can go to school!

Okay, off to tidy up the bench and tackle the ironing pile :-{
