Dog of a day and other tails

We've had lots of things to do to keep us busy recently. Dress up like Super heroes Day where Alice went as Super Turtle and Felicity as Super califragilisticexpealidocious. Matt's been away to Japan, USA and Hong Kong and Macau in recent weeks but on the weekends we've managed to have good family times with bike riding at Pasir Ris park a highlight. Felicity and Alice both had their awards assembly and Felicity was awarded Superstar Actress of the class and Alice got Talented Artist. This weekend we invited all Buckley's friends to the dog party for Buckley's 5th birthday party. It was very muddy which the kids and the dogs enjoyed. Otis the big white dog turned browny grey - we laughed a lot at him until he wanted to come and greet us and proceed to shake his mud all over us.

Last night we set up our Christmas in preparation for the silly season. And in less than hour we collect Brittany and Tess from the airport for their Singapore stopover before France.  I think they plan to soak up the sun while they are here but considering its rainy season they'll probably get a little more soaked than they planned.

Birthdays and other celebrations

Cup Day - The office went out for lunch to celebrate. Almost as good as getting the day off.

The Australian High Commission was challenged to an afternoon of sport by the Singapore Sports Council. They chose the sports - table tennis, darts and soccer. It was held at the awesome venue of the floating platform at Marina Bay. I won both my table tennis games - singles & mixed doubles so the way I tell the story is "I beat Singapore at Table Tennis while representing Australia." I even have a medal! Unfortunately overall Singapore Sports Council proved they were pretty good at sport!

I brought along my fan club to cheer for the Aussies but my fan club  had their own fan club and were required to pose with many from Team Singapore.

Scary face for Halloween. The kids did trick and treating around at Fiona's condo. Felicity went as a mime while Alice went as "Ghost girl"

The loot they scored was obscene. Next year they are going with a small snap lock bag. Once that is full then that's it!

Felicity and I had fun decorating her cake as a piggy.

Universal Studios for Felicity Birthday. Lots of fun with family and best friend Eleanor.

Felicity unwrapping all the gifts! Thanks so much.
