The Sinagpore Tea Party.... with JuJu!

Something that I have grown to love while living in Singapore is a good cup of tea... and I just love going to tea restaurants to have brunch or tea "time"... so while JuJu was here I got her to go with me to three different experiences of tea... so we had our own little tea tour.

Our first stop (also accompanied with Gillian) was TWG at ION... always a favorite (we missed you Jessica) and still my favorite. You sit down and they hand you a list of like 1000 different teas... amazing.

Our next stop (and something I have always wanted to do) HIGH TEA at RAFFLES HOTEL. We had a great time and good company and some good food but the tea was just ok compared to TWG...


Our next stop... Starbucks to go while getting our toes done...

What a fun was to tour tea... with a great SNL... love you!

ICS Music Show... we have an entertainer!

Our little man... what a ham... here he is at the ICS Music Show for Spring 2011. Juju was here for the show and daddy got to take off early from work... so he had his fan club. I do have to say we did not know if Pierce was going to be in the show bc he was acting up in Music class and a couple of weeks before he knocked over the xylophone and we got an email from the principal saying that if he had another instance where he acted up his discipline would be that he could not be in the show. Pierce had been singing these songs weeks before the show so we were hoping and praying that he put on his game face and behaved... sure enough here he is... front row and all. This is JK, Kindi and 1st grade performing.

Embarrased...







Got a little more movement than his classmates... wonder who he gets that from???


Here he is deciding to have a conversation with his friend Sylvia next to him rather than sing the song.





Good job buddy... we love you!


Now time for the videos...

Run in Place Song











































ABC Song











































Jelly Bean Song... we heard this song over and over for weeks











































Hope you enjoyed the show... we sure did.

Happy Dad's Day!

More time with JuJu...

Our time with JuJu is over and we were so sad to see her go.. our time was way to short. But the time we had her with us we sure jammed it full of Pierce activities, lots of time with JuJu and Pierce and tons of fun. The first day JuJu was here we headed to the zoo to keep her walking and what a better place to show her just how grown up our boy is... the zoo is his favorite place to go.
JuJu brought this cool appliance that makes Popsicles in 9 minutes... and it really works and we have enjoyed it ever since... yummy.

One night we got to go out just the adults...
One of our last nights we headed to the marina for some more fun... we wanted to check out the view and hopefully catch some live music.
Pierce of course had to bring his ARMY toys...
So much fun... and good times.

I love this picture... so cute between the two of them and the sun set glistening off the marina bay sands is amazing...
We love you JuJu and thanks for coming to see us... we miss you already.

Ladies Tea at IBC!

The Ladies Tea at IBC is always so much fun... a great time of fellowship with other ladies, the men get to serve and oh yeah the best part the tables. Women are encouraged to sponsor a table by decorating it and getting it ready for the big day... I have been a part of this even for 3 years now and with my good friend Gillian's help this year... this is one I will always remember. We sure did have fun setting this table.. different and fresh.

Now I can not take the credit for the design bc one night I googled "awesome table settings" and this lady in the states had blogged about her thanksgiving dinner with her family and how she decorated it.. she used white candles, artichokes, asparagus and pumpkins... it was beautiful... so we had a Vegetable Garden table... see below.
Banana leaves for the place mat and a single asparagus added to our napkin...
Lady fingers are really cheap here and made a great center piece... also we took brussel sprouts and used a straight pen to stick them into the candle.

We tied green beans to the back of the chair and also used asparagus to wrap the candles.

Gillian and I found these topiary balls on Arab street that made a good chandelier affect.


Here are some of the other tables... there are some talented people in Singapore...











My best friend and co-table decorate Gillian... your the best girl.

Our table guest for a great morning sipping on tea...

JuJu is here...

JuJu arrived early morning on Thursday and soon after Pierce woke up... and yes JuJu was the best medicine ever... he was good as new and ready for a full day filled with love from JuJu... We had fun getting lots of hugs and getting caught up on life. Pierce stayed home from school bc he had a fever the day before and there is no way he could leave his JuJu now...
We had a fun time looking at all the goodies that JuJu brought...



So cute... loved trying on his new clothes... even got some army underwear (no pics of that sorry :-)).
We even got this cool contraption that makes cool popsicles in 9 minutes... so we had to try it out... anything liquid that does not have bubbles can make a great popsicle even fruit, candy and oats... oh boy what fun....this one that Pierce is eating is made out of cranberry juice and fresh raspberries. Yummy.

This first full day is always a bit tricky for visitors and JuJu has really already seen everything here in Singapore so the first day we choose to go to the Singapore Zoo.. to keep JuJu walking and awake and it truly is Pierce's favorite place to be in Singapore.
Today has been filled with lot of laughs and fun.. Daddy is home from work and we decided to go a treasure hunt (Geo-caching) in Singapore we are 0 for 2.. so no pics but we sure did laugh alot... and everyone is taking a nap now... more soon..
