Praus Cell Retreat

Long time have not blogged due to the busyness of work and life. Here's attaching a slideshow of our cell retreat.

Earth Hour

We decided to take part in Earth Hour as we did in the previous year. Ordered pizza and switched off all the lights. The boys had fun trying to blow out the candles lit around the house. Gerald is more aware of what is happening and he can tell you about why we all should recycle (courtesy of Charlie and Lola). Gareth is still just having fun. He made us sing "Happy Birthday" for almost half an hour cos he associates candles with cake and birthdays.

My camera has powerful flash... the lights in the house are all OFF!

Gerald sweating it out cos the fan was switched off too.

My poor baby

On Tuesday, Luke took Gerald cycling and the poor baby fell down from his bike (the son, not the husband). He got some pretty bad abrasions on his face. My poor baby!!!! His handsome face!!!! I hope it won't leave any scars. Today at church everyone kept asking Gerald what happened to him. I think he answer until he is quite fed-up. Haha. I should have just stuck a notice on him that read "I fell down while riding my bike. It's all Daddy's fault!"

Look at poor Gerald... so heart pain!

Classics in the Park

Had a relaxing evening with the boys in the Botanic Gardens listening to SSO playing classical pieces. The boys had fun blowing bubbles.

2 loving brothers (when they are not fighting over toys).

Happy Gerald.

Picnic at Botanic Gardens

May is a super hot month and it is a good time for picnics. Time for the boys to get close to nature, after being surrounded by concrete most of the time. So when the SSO held a free, open-air concert at the Botanic Gardens, we packed up a lot of stuff and went for a picnic with our cell group.

Let me taste the strawberry!

Mmmm... sausage bun!

It was a great day!

Beach Boys

Not exactly at the beach but just thought the boys looked really cute with the sunglasses. We are just going for a swim at the neighbourhood swimming complex. =)

Easter Sunday

I tried to make Easter fun and relevant for the boys.  Besides going to church and explaining to them the concept of Jesus dying for our sins, we also did some not so Christian things like baking Easter cookies, hot cross buns and painting easter eggs.

Not a bad attempt. =)
