The kids had a Halloween party in their school last Wednesday. It was really nice as it was Jonathan’s birthday as well and his class had a mini disco. Jonathan was dressed in his Transformers outfit and he was so proud of it.

Linn, on the other hand, was ashamed of her outfit and wanted to dress like a princess, just like all her girl classmates. It’s funny that when you are a kid, you want to dress like everyone else and when you get older, you want to stand out.

She was really not so happy in her outfit but we loved it.

Our boy celebrated his birthday recently and we had a mini party at our new home. Jonathan was really happy and was very appreciative of his presents.

I can’t believe he is already 5! He is so innocent and sweet, always seeking our approval and confirmation that he is ‘a good boy’.

If only you know that we love you so much Jonathan and you are our great little boy! We are so proud of you.

Nicke and I went on a mid week break to Venice last week. I have always wanted to visit the city before it sinks. It was nice and sunny and we had a really wonderful 3 days trip, just pure indulgence on food, wine, cheese, gelato, cafe and simply beautiful architecture. We didn’t bring the kids as they would be complaining about the walks and Venice is definitely not a child friendly area. Thanks to my wonderful mother in law who helped us looked after the 2 precious during our short break!

The food was not as great as we hoped it would be. It was ok as we tried our best to avoid the Tourist Menu. My other complaint is that the city is really too touristy.

Didn’t do much shopping. My dear husband deliberately avoided Miu Miu and steered me to United Colours of Benetton instead. 🙁 Would have seriously damaged his wallet.

We had a really great time.
