National Day Holiday Weekend

We enjoyed a long weekend for the National Day holiday!  We enjoyed spending time as a family and took lots of pictures.

Friday the kid's school had a party -- the kids performed a short program of songs about Singapore and then enjoyed playing with their friends and parents.  Ainsley enjoyed her songs, but both Jack and Kara ran off of the "stage" before it even started.  Oh well!

The parents waiting for the show...


Jack and Kara's class -- Kara ran to us immediately and Jack ran back and forth (see him in the foreground of the picture?) and after about five laps Matt coaxed him in to re-joining his class...


Ainsley belting out the Singapore tunes...


Kara ignoring the activities...


Ainsley's Singapore tattoo...


After the school performance we enjoyed a lunch at one of our favorite spots, Shiraz.  They serve shawarma and it is located halfway between home and MMI...


Matt enjoys a beer...


Jack often wears some of the girls stuff, but this is one of our favorite looks.  He likes to wear Ainsley's black patent shoes, complete with a flower on the toe...


Jack and Kara playing in the house...


Matt and I often have date night once a week and Ainsley asked this week if she could go with us.  So the three of us went on a date to have Mexican food.  Ainsley likes to help Matt hail the taxi...


She was SO giddy about going out with mommy and daddy!


Cheers!  (yes, that is a virgin margarita!)


Ainsley took this one...


Date night at Margaritas!!


The girls playing dress up (notice Jack in the back playing with his cars)...


This is Jack's newest truck.  Poor Jack has a horrible case of eczema.  It is really bad and we are doing everything we can to help him feel better.


The kids were playing in the curtains and having a blast.  You can see Jack's eczema has spread to his face in this picture :-(


A friend of ours invited us over to enjoy their very cool pool!




We ended our holiday weekend at one of our favorite restaurants - Khansama in Little India...

Omg, Ainsley has a future at National Geographic as a photographer. That was a great pic of you two.
