October Babies Gathering @ T Junction

Coincidentally, we have 4 October babies. Having tasted the good of T Junction, we were lured back for round 2 - there were plenty to entertain the kids.

We arrived at 4ish to find QQ watching DVD on a mega screen. It would be a nice idea if  all the kids can watch a movie quietly. Fat hope. It wasn't long before the others arrived and the kids were off playing pool, playing boardgame or simply running around and making a lot of noise. The parents busied catching the kids and feeding them before all hell breaks loose.

The last gathering, we taught the kids how to play nerds - a crazy card games that we ourselves played when we were teenagers. While it was fun pairing and playing with the kids, it would be even more fun playing on our own. Our eyes sparkled at the notion and we chased off the kids after making sure that they were well entertained to start our "battle". The stakes were high - the last was to mop and vacuum the floor. Muahahaha.

Trust me when I said that we were very serious about the game. Even the little ones (read: pop, MM and Gracie) climbing and jumping off the sofa didn't stop the 3 mothers - our reputation and the penalty were too much to consider to stop the game and man the kids.

While the kids didn't get into our way, the aching backs did from the prolong sitting on the floor. Then, there was the painful knee from the constant knocking onto the floor as we attempted to fly across the floor to place that card. We only completed 5 games but that was enough to put the little people, our poor back and knee in extreme danger.

Auntie T 宝刀未老 and came in top, saving her from the penalty. Auntie H and R took the last spots. See lah, never practice the last gathering. Hohoho.

We stopped for the cake cutting. It was a delicious chocolate cake, which the kids approved for - they came back for 2nd helping and there was no wastage.

That marked the end of the gathering.

We are all very nice and helped with the cleaning up, never bully the 2 mummies. Haha.
