Girls' 1st Sleepover....

....at the Ongs. It was the first time for them at a friend's and they had such great fun! About two weeks ago after the X'mas party at their place, L wanted the girls to sleepover. So V and I arranged for one before the children start their Spring Term. We (girls and I) went over yesterday, had lunch and took the tube to the Natural History Museum which is a place they all like to go. Actually I love the museum too. The best part is it's free. Even after a few visits, we have yet to cover the whole place so we keep going back. I'm so glad the girls get to go there as my sis and I didn't manage to bring them there on Monday and they were very disappointed. Unfortunately, the museum was very packed. V and I were knackered at the end of the trip after having to repeatedly ask the children to take turns with playing with the exhibits, to behave, to stay close to us, to...... It wasn't a good day to go but the kids were happy. That was the most important part.

We dragged our tired feet home and V prepared a simple but nonetheless very yummy and satisfying burger meal. I don't know where the children got their energy from. They didn't show any signs of fatigue and continued playing after dinner. L played with them the very fun 'balloon game'. We had to stop the game halfway as it was getting late and there was still charade to play and dessert to eat. Oh did they have Duracell batteries in them? If not for us chasing them upstairs to have a wash and changed them into their jammies and got them into bed, I'm sure they'd gladly play till midnight. After I had finished reading the bedtime story, L's eyes were still big like marbles. While A stayed with them in their room, V and I had a good long chat over a soothing cup of green tea before climbing to bed close to 1am.
