The Boys' Turn

The boys were so jealous when Boo invited the jiejies for the sleepover. Though they had yummy food, escape ro and all of their mummies' attention, they whined that life is so unfair and that they didn't have a sleepover.

The chance came in the form of T's 11th bday. His bday party was to have a sleepover only for the boys. That sounded like a fantastic idea except that Auntie S' house is far far away in Tampines. Sob. I checked, taxi one way is about $30, that is like going to the airport! Wait, their house is indeed near the airport. Zzzzz. 

The plan was to send Zaky there on Friday night and then picked him up on Saturday noon for Maths. Unfortunately Daddy Lim had to work on Saturday morning and it would cost a lot of $$ (or a lot of time) to travel from LV to Tampines and back to JE for Maths. Ended up, I earned a sleepover as well, one that I wasn't very keen about. Lol. 

It was already 8pm by the time we arrived at T's house but the party had just started. Hoho. The boys were soon on their gadgets. C and AN challenged the aunties to nerds and the cards started flying. We were so engrossed that Auntie S wasn't able to move us and decided to just do the candle blowing and cake cutting with the boys. We stopped for yummy cake.  
The nerds then continued and didn't stop until nearing midnight. My eyes, my back, my legs! Lol. Auntie J finally left with AN and the room was set up for the boys. 

Despite so, the chatting didn't stop. The boys were still laughing and chatting and finally died down at about 1.30am. I had the sofa this time and it was an improvement as compared to the skinny yoga mat during the last "camping sleepover" at LV. I was trying to get into a comfortable position and missed my bed dearly. 

The night was rough. I woke up whenever I needed to change position, then it was to the lizard's calling. The lizard must be mocking me. Then it was the photoframe on the wall dropping and falling on me. That was a rude shock and it was 2x. Aiyo! Finally, the boys were up and started chatting again at 6.45am. At least the rough night was over. 

We had pratas for bfast. Before long, the boys were yelling that they were bored. We were so nice to bring them down. Auntie S must love me alot for sleeping over and helping out. Lol. 


Then adjourning to the playground for more fun. It was a fantastic way to expell the boys' energy. 

Nothing taste better than a sweet ice cream after a hot session at the playground.

With that, we headed home for shower and lunch. 

We had to leave at 1.15pm bcos it was a long drive to JE. The grab was almost $30. Zzzzz. I made Zaky nap in the car and I stole a much needed cat nap too. I am quite sure he managed to survive Maths bcos of the nap.

I hope that the next sleepover doesn't require me. It is so tiring. Hahahah.
