Babies En, Xuan & Rui's Antics: Birthday and Halloween

Almost a month has passed, and En is still waking up in the middle of the night, wailing sometimes. The aftermath of Halloween is apparently still "haunting" him.

It was probably one of the most scary night for him. Poor thing.

The Birthday

It started off rather well, with him enjoying himself with his "friends" - Godma, Nanny and family, his cousins, aunt and generally a family affair.

As usual, we never have a proper family shot during such occasion. It has been 3 years, but we never managed to "pose" for a proper family pic. I am immensely frustrated sometimes and I wonder why.

Maybe it is because it is always such a mayhem, with kids excited about the candles and the cake, and can't wait to dig into the cake. Maybe we are also not the "posey" type, a bit shy to pose for pics in front of so many ppl.. and a tad rude for others to wait just for the pic..

Sigh, still some great shots from the various sources, at least we have one proper shot of the cake - En's favourite Bob the builder cake.

The 3 strippy boys in my life - not planned for sure!

Xuan clearly enjoyed the party the most. Most eagerly awaiting for the cake, taking multiple stabs at the cake with his fork. It was really hard to keep him away from the cake as we served the guests first!

Check out his eager expression!

And his state of intoxication. i do not know who passed him this first drink.

The Halloween

This is our last Halloween in College Green, with what few of the tenants left. However we are determined to make it memorable for the kids nonetheless. And old tenants also came back to set up make shift scary stations, finishing with a wild water bomb session typical of the estate..

True to the birthday theme, we dressed En up as Bob the builder and Xuan as the adorable pumpkin. We wanted a knight costume for Xuan but the remaning ones at Toy R Us are not very hygenic with some rusted parts.. So pumpkin he is, and a very adprable on at that.

En got really scared with the Tick-or- Treating, and was crying non stop .. Xuan however was cool as a cucumber, and even went up the various wandering spirits and monsters, curiously looking them over. maybe the idea of fear has not seethed itself in his cognition yet, but En was clearly aware of that!
