Kiwi Banana Downunder

I was kinda surprised when I went to the usual electronics store with my little girl the other day. I mean, usually the store isn’t that kid friendly, like there is no kids corner or anything like that.

Imagine my delight when I saw a couple of oversized bean bag chairs placed in front of a TV showing some cartoon movie. My little girl immediately sat herself on the bean bag and got her eyes glued to the tv of course.

That allowed me to browse around the nearby aisles freely, knowing that she was staying put watching cartoons. I think it is a great idea to have that in the store, to allow parents to show in peace and in return, the store probably gets more sale.

Whew! Super tired after returning from the city with my darling girls. Managed to get some great dollar books to complete the goodie bags. I must say, the goodie bags are stuffed to the brim. My wife said it isn’t often that we would hold big birthday parties for our little girl, so it is alright to be generous. I agree with her. Kids love goodies and what harm could books do?

Glad that we have completed our shopping and everything seems to be in order. Can’t wait for the day. After that we or rather, my wife, could heave a sigh of relief and start packing for our trip, yahoo!

We are due for our overseas trip very soon and we are all counting down the days – yeehaa! Meanwhile, the family over the other side of the sea wish to plan a big family holiday while we are there. I am thinking about renting one of those Outer Banks homes where we could all relax, cook, BBQ and holiday as a family. The kids would absolutely love it.

I think we all need a good holiday, young and old alike. Will just need to discuss in detail once we touchdown there. Hopefully there will be no hiccups and that we would be able to rent that dream holiday home!

We were given a treat to a buffet lunch at the Rosehill Bowling Club two weeks back and we loved the food! Only that we didn’t really have the time to go back for more helpings as it was actually a birthday party. Quite embarassing to keep walking to the buffet when everybody else is done and seated at their tables.

That is why me and my wife plan to go back for the buffet lunch one of these days. At only $13.90 per adult and $8 per kid, we think it is worth every cent for the selection of yummy tasty food offered! Yum, I can’t wait!

We shall be travelling overseas very soon. In fact I have been counting down the days and so has my little girl. It can get tiring having a chatty and bored 6 year old sitting beside you in an 8 hours flight. Thank goodness for technology, I will keep my girl occupied on the tablet with her spelling bee and games.

But first I would need to get her something that would block the noise on the tablet from other passengers. It does not necessarily be a professional headset (well, that would be great for me though) but something small and simple that would be comfortable on her tiny head. So yeah, I am still looking for a suitable one. Hopefully I’ll find it soon!

Wow, we had just been to one of the best kids birthday party ever! Aren’t kids so fortunate these days. I got my first disco party at only 21 years of age! This birthday party we went to was a 7 year old’s.

They hired a professional kids disco party entertainer with lights, music and sound systems supplied plus a host. It was spectacular in the sense that every single kid loved it!

We parents truly enjoyed watching our kids danced and boogied in all sorts of styles, it was hilarious. Kids at this age are oblivious to their surroundings, they just danced away. One thing we noticed is that boys this age seem more interested and better in dancing than the girls!
