Needing another day in our weekend...

Drew rockin' his helmet & sunglasses...love this kid!
What a week! Work was busy and our weekend was much the same. We spent Friday night having dinner with some friends from work at a fantastic restaurant. People have raved about Din Tai Fung and it did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back. Saturday was a day with the boys while Adam played golf in Malaysia. He loved playing golf again, said the course was decent, and as usual it was HOT out there. Saturday evening Jill & I got pedicures and did some shopping. Nice to have time away. Today was "date" day with our boys. Adam and Drew spent the morning bike riding and shopping in Little India while Luke and I headed over to the East Coast for a birthday party. He had SO much fun playing with all of his school friends and I enjoyed meeting & visiting other moms. We plan to head back to the East Coast area next weekend - so much to do there along the beach. This evening we had 4 families over for a bbq which was fun. The pool was filled with kids from 2 years to 9 years. I had intended to take lots of pictures but my camera battery died. 

We were able to Skype with a lot of family this weekend which we LOVED. It's always nice to have a little bit of home in Singapore! Off to bed early...I'm feeling completely brain dead after the week/weekend. Let another crazy busy week begin.

These were pretty cool. For our current Unit of Inquiry, students selected an apex predator, researched it's food chain on their iPads, then used an app to create a picture of an ecosystem that food chain would live in. It's amazing what can be done with our iPads...AND how much the students enjoy what they're being asked to do! 

Look! Lucky Charms are on sale. c-r-a-z-y!
Birthday party fun
