How I spent my 17th 'park tall' anniversary

I have longed shared with him that I would like to revisit Toledo on our special day. As usual, it was not fulfilled. How many of you have the same experience as me? Maybe not too many, I guessed.

After so many years together, I know him too well. As I am also down with flu and cough, I had no energy to bother about this anymore. My approached was 'take it easy' and see what he has in mind on this day.

Our Special Day

In the early morning, our children woke us up and hopped on to our bed for the weekly weekend family bonding. I must say, it felt so good as all of us spent quality time talking, playing and cuddling each other. That's HAPPINESS.

At 10.00am, we headed for our breakfast near our place. Nothing special, children had their churros and we had donut and toast bread with tomato and olive oil.

While we were walking back home, Eduardo said 'kaka, kaka' (poo poo). We were immediately in panic mode as he is undergoing toilet trained for the last two weeks. I carried him and walked as fast as I could and the two were trying to catch up. I kept telling Eduardo to hold on and asked if he wants to pee or poo. He replied poo two times and I am almost sure that he really meant it as he was on his track to toilet trained. When we reached home, he did his business. I am glad that he is able to differentiate the difference between pee and poo now.

Closed to lunch time, my man suggested that we go the style outlet for shopping and have our lunch. It was a good suggestion! I thought he would suggest to go to the park or something.

With the children, it is impossible to have couple time, so Eric suggested that for dinner  I should cook Vongole for us and he will fried the lamb chop. I prepared spaghetti with sausages for our lovely boys.

Personally, this is happiness, blessing and wonderful feeling. Doesn't mean going to a posh restaurant or receiving an expensive gift is happiness. Sometimes, simplicity is joy and happiness.

Oh, by the way, my man showed his initiative to set the table with wine and candles but my boys love to blow them and .......yes, we have candle light dinner but just a short while.

Cheers to both of us and wish many good things will come and our life and all will be smooth when we get back to Singapore in the coming months.
