We got to spend the day at the Aged Ps place today making lots of gingerbread – in time for tomorrow’s Christmas party! Also, we met a Noodle Ninja.

I was still very tired today, so the Barn Owl let me sleep in until it was time for me to take J and Little E to take part in the ‘Doctor for a Day’ programme at Mount Elizabeth Orchard (recommended to me by David from Life’s Tiny Miracles).
It was really fun experience, and both J and Little E thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Afterwards, I was completely exhausted and slept most of the afternoon away. I’m glad the Barn Owl is such a hands-on parent when he’s home on the weekends!

I wasn’t planning to have such a busy Friday because I was still tired from yesterday’s shenanigans, but it was just so nice and breezy this morning, we just had to get out of the house! Additionally, the ArtScience Museum was having one of their Family Friday deals where kids go free, and you know how much I love a bargain.
After five hours of walkabout, Little E developed some nasty blisters on her heels from her sparkly but poorly constructed sneakers (yes, I’m looking at you with a frowny face, Skechers!). So, we went to get her some nice new sandals from a kid’s shoe shop called “Hopla!” at Cluny Court.

I’m a little poorly today, so the Barn Owl stayed home to help me with the kids. I’ll be better with a little rest.

We spent the day with the Aged P today – the kids have missed her so much!
By the way, the game that we are playing is called ‘Qwirkle

The Barn Owl and Thumper are both still recovering but after a nap this afternoon, Thumper was back to his usual happy self, so we took him out with us. He was getting cabin fever from being kept indoors for so many days.
Hopefully the Barn Owl will be back to normal tomorrow as he has a particularly tough work week ahead.

Thumper is still recuperating and the Barn Owl is now ill, so the both of them had to stay home today whilst the rest of us attended the first Christmas party of the season.
The electronics kit that the kids are playing with is called ‘Snap Circuits
We also did an origami Joseph doll as part of our ‘Truth in the Tinsel’ advent craft of the day. It’s the same one from the origami nativity that I made on Day 6.

Thumper is a little bit under the weather today, so it’s been rather quiet around here. He perked up after a little rest, so we still managed to make it a productive day.

I have written about volunteering with The Boys’ Brigade Share-a-Gift Project before and this year was the first time that we were delivery volunteers with our own BB boy!
J joined The Boys’ Brigade at the start of the year and I cannot tell you how proud I was to see him in his full uniform, valiantly helping to carry the heavy bags of groceries to the Share-a-Gift beneficiaries.
Sadly, this year the donation drive has been a little bit slower than other years – so if you are at the supermarket and see the Boys in Blue, do stop by and see what items they need! As of this post, they need more 2L bottles of cooking oil, halal tinned foodstuffs, condiments (like soy sauce and ketchup) and instant noodles!

By the way, the board game that we are playing is called ‘Ravensburger Labyrinth

Today, the children got a chance to go out with their Godparents and Godsisters! That’s a real treat both for them and for us. The Barn Owl and I were able to spend the entire day together, something we haven’t done since Thumper was born.
The origami angel was a little bit difficult for the kids to accomplish themselves, so we only made one. I got the Angel Origami folding instructions from the Origami Resource Center here.
