	<description><![CDATA[I took the girls for some outdoor fun today, and this was what they got up to. Urbanites to the core, they lasted all of 1 hour before they exclaimed "Mommy, we are sweating like pigs !!" and i had to take them indoors. Nonetheless they enjoyed themselves ... At 7, she's still very happy to go down a slide C checking out whether it's worth her while to actually climb this …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[ Check out these packs of thousands of 'punched-out' flowers.

	<description><![CDATA[  Rachel woke me this morning with a huge complaint - "Mommy, it's Childrens' Day and you don't have a gift for us !" Not appreciating being woken up, i of course gave her the spiel about how one cannot be demanding and ask for presents; must be grateful for what one already has; it is downright rude etc etc etc ..

	<description><![CDATA[Selected to dance in Nov for the upcoming orientation concert for the parents of new P1s next year, my R came home beaming. She proudly announced she had "bad news" in that 7 year old, know-it-all tone and slapped her head in dramatic fashion.

	<description><![CDATA[ Today was the K1 information session at C's school. It basically informed parents of what their kids would be learning and equipped with in the year ahead, appropriately starting with the qualification that it was a big leap from nursery to kindergarten, but came the swift reassurance that our kids would manage fine.All this while, i was getting sweaty palms and rolling my …]]></description>
