Well, shortly after our recent date at Gelare, I decided to "invite" Di for lunch at Sakae Sushi (not the best but its the nearest!) since I didn't get him anything at all for his birthday. I was thinking we either have a quick lunch while the munchkins nap, or bring one of the twins along.
I SMSed Ling about my plans and to my surprise, she not only volunteered to babysit the girls, she asked if she could bring them (along with Ya-Ya) to the regional library. She had been wanting to get the girls there to explore the library cos she found the decor (a bunch of cute, colourful mushrooms) very attractive, especially for toddlers like En & Xuan.
So there you have it! A fabulous weekend plan for the family. Ling arrived at 10am to "pick" the 3 of them up then head straight for the library. After the "battalion" left, Di read the papers without any rascals pulling away the pages, while I updated my blog. We headed for Sakae Sushi at 11.30am to avoid the lunch crowd. Our craving for sashimi was finally satisfied at a total damage of $66+. We then spend the next hour doing grocery shopping - something we haven't done together in ages!
We would love to have more time to ourselves, but we had to head home. I had arranged a playdate with the mommy of another pair of twins that afternoon. Nevertheless, the 4 hours break was enough for me to feel like we're "newly weds" again. Hahaha... Sorry, kids! I'm not denying your existence. Both En & Xuan are my absolute darlings but daddy has to come first. After all, he's providing for all of us, so we had better treat him well. Kekeke...
So when's our next date, Di?

wow that's wonderful that you get to go out with your hubby. It's hard for me to find someone to take care of my son and feel like me and my bf need some one on one time too.
Hi zizi
It was hard for me and my hubby too, initially. He works late and the kids + myself are normally asleep by the time he's home. After the first year, we got worried about the little amount of time we spend on communicating, so we decided to go out for some quality time after the kids are in bed. Even if the kids are left with my maid + my family members around to help (eg. on weekends), I'd be shopping out there and still worry if the whole bunch of adults can handle the 2 rascals. Hence, the "dating after the kids are in bed" arrangement is best for us. You may wish to consider this option as well. :)
