Despite Matt and I being super busy at work we did manage to do a couple of fun things this week. Matt is playing hockey in Bangkok now - probably his last trip for a good long while.
I do have to mention that Charlotte did not make me happy yesterday. We were having dinner (and are having breakfast together too - this is a nice family tradition we have started) and Charlotte asked to have soy milk. Specifically she asked Yaya for soy milk. I offered to get it for her and then she said she did not want me to. Then I got it for her and she said she does not want it and she does not like Mommy! Damn button pusher. Well, I got angry and put her in time out for a few minutes (locking the common bathroom with her inside - as an aside I don't even have to hold the door shut for Charlotte. For Sophia I have to keep the door shut from the outside as she constantly will try to open it). Then afterwards, she is fine and sweet as if nothing happens. This sort of bipolar toddler behavior is still something I am getting used to!
Ok - on to the fun stuff! We took the girls ice skating on Sunday morning with Caleb and Cooper. Charlotte is getting better every time (but not good enough for me to take her skating - I am still a beginner myself!). Sophia wanted to wear her skates (and even stood in them again!) and offered them to Caleb. Rainbow Brite(?) is a good place to skate as it is not so busy. We will be back again.
We then took the kids to the Long Tower House (Macau Tower) for dim sum, which ended up to be pizza as we got there after noon (Matt's theory is to beat the crowds on Sunday you MUST arrive before noon). So the kids run around and ate air and some noodles at The Singing Bean. The kids all sat by the water, all 'dock of the bay' Otis Redding style, which made for some cute photos below.
We had a chance to go to Shrekfast for free on Wednesday - it was nice to take the kids. I was a bit nervous Sophia would be scared of Shrek (and everyone else) but luckily there is enough singing and dancing to distract. Matt agreed that Shrekfast put Disney's character meals to shame! Sophia really liked the boy from Mr. Peabody and Sherman, but when I asked her if she wanted a picture with him she responded, "Hmmm, No." She wanted to be in the sphere of the characters, but no pictures please! :)
I am commited to watching the entire Dreamworks animated canon Suelika!
Daddy busy with work all week! Even during an ice cream break!
Skating!
Long Tower House!
I love this photo of Cooper!
Den mother Char:
Tom and Caleb. We should have brought scooters!
Sophia has a fondness for Cooper:
My only somewhat successful attempt at a portrait:
And the next one:
Caleb is a Daddy's boy:
Sophia has the biggest bald spot!
Cooper love!
Cute photo of everyone!

The only attempt at a family photo! Sophia was not into it at ALL:
But bacon? That is a whole different story:
Characters!
With the ever photogenic Sophia B:
Charlotte is getting a fatigued smile. This is what it must feel like to be a model (haha):
Mr. Peabody and Sherman:
The dragon!
The ET lookalike!
Finally a video (I hope it plays - intellectual property blah) of the girls belting "Somebody That I Used to Know":
