Sour face and sad face

I tried to feed Sebastian some apples this afternoon after their naps. I cut an apple for Sabrina and took a small piece for Sebastian to try. He licked it and gave me a real sour face. Subsequently when I tried to feed him more, he either pushed my hand away or tried to blocked me from coming too near to his mouth. Hahaha. Maybe it's the beginning of the new season for apples thus the apples might be a little sour but very crunchy. He did not like the sourness and refused to take another bite. Instead Sabrina was the one who was happily enjoying savouring her favourite fruit.

In the night, Sabrina tried to perform a stunt by jumping off the table. She had never done that before. When we told her she was not allowed to do so again, she ran off and after some time, came back and climb once again onto the table and jumped off it. Adrian was so angry that he took the stick that was used to tie the balloons and hit her. On top of that he made her stand at a corner near to the door. Sabrina cried very angrily and tried to walk off from that spot. Adrian refused to let her move and told her to stand at that very spot. She cried and pee in her panties. Finally after a while we brought her upstairs and changed into her pyjamas. We told her again that she is not to climb onto the table and jump off from it. She just sat that and listen and from time to time she cried. It's as she thought of herself being canned earlier on and felt sad and cried again. Haiz...Naughty girl.

An aimless Sunday

Have no idea what to do today. We have the Q150 tickets to the theme parks but we sort of felt lazy to go. In the end we just went down to SunnyBanks to get some vegetables and some drinks and came back home.

Brought the kids upstairs for their nap. Guess what? Sebastian fell off the mattress while I was getting his clothes. Sabrina who was nearby quickly went forward to carry his crying brother. It was just so heartwarming to see that. Finally put the kids to nap and had a late lunch together in peace till Sebastian woke up. Waited for Sabrina to wake up and brought them to the park where there is a playground. Sabrina had a great time there that she was rather reluctant to leave. But we had to as it was getting real dark and we could not see her at the playground. And mind you it was just slightly after a quarter to 6.

Back home, prepared a quick dinner and called our parents via Skype. While talking to my mum, Sabrina jumped from the chair and came to me saying "I jump". Haiz....

Off to lala land they go after their milk. Will be back to post some nice photos of the kids that we took before we left in the morning. Till then....

ANZAC Day- Public Holiday Plus visit to Adrian's colleague's place at Bracken Ridge

Australians celebrates ANZAC Day today with a very massive Dawn Mass. Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I and also to commemorate the soldiers who fought in France and Belgium. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.

This was celebrated with style with a mass at dawn lasting all the way till around noon and also woth news coverage. It was declared a public holiday and almost all the shops were closed. Even the various theme parks only open from 1.30pm onwards.

For us we went off for our fortnightly visit to New Farm Park where they held the Farmers' Market. Today we tried this French style fired pizza. It cost us $14 but it did taste good althought we felt that it was a little too steep. But at least it was nice. As we walked along, Sabrina passed by the waffle stall and refused to move. Guess she was hungry as usually she would have eaten at least 2 slices of bread, cheese and some other things. So we bought her the waffle and she happily ate it while we waited for our order of pizza. But somehow while waiting, something caught her eye. She saw a brown dog and told me " Doggie" and zoomed for the dog in the midst of people walking. She stood beside the dog and stroked the dog's fur and said "Doggie". So cute.

Shortly after buying the food, we brought her to the playground and she had a fun time running around playing the slides and planks-walking and rocking animals. But we got to cut it short as Sebastian had knocked off half a bottle of water onto himself whilst Adrian was drinking from it and I was busy looking after Sabrina at the play area. Naughty little boy.

So off we went to the car to change and we went on our way to Adrian's colleague's place at Bracken Ridge. Both kids fell asleep while on our way even when we reached the place, they were still asleep. So we wound down the windows with the air con still running and left the kids in the car while we toured his friend's place. It was really a nice place. They fully utilised the land. But of course it came with hard work and careful planning. It is also costly but they did things slowly and with 3 working adults, they can easily work out the finance.

By the time we had finished touring he house, the kids had already woke up from their nap. Sebastian happily followed James' wife into the house and play while Sabrina wanted to have another go at the sweets we kept in the car. In the end we had to use an apple to bribe her.

As most of the shops are closed for the day, we came home and had curry chicken that I only spent maybe less than half anf hour to cook. Kids are already asleep by 9pm and hereby I am penning off to catch on my sleep as well....
