May 11, 2015 - Hong Kong Hockey Tournament and Mother's Day

I forgot to mention that Sophia sings that Taylor Swift song Trouble... except she sings about a shovel.  "Oooh!  Oooh!  Shovel Shovel Shovel."

Matt went to HK last week - and we went too on Friday.  I took care of the girls for 3 days by myself. And I am proud of myself as that is the longest stretch I have been on my own.  Yay for me.

Charlotte was not so into the hockey tournament - probably a lack of sleep, a lot of queues and just the general noise of hockey was enough to do herself (and us) in.  Next year we will probably keep her in Macau.

For us it was pretty good - the last time we were here (really here) was 7 years ago when Janice and Jason met.. and now they are married!  Yay!  Hockey tournaments!  We are much older and more parental now, but it is fun to remember when we were young... once.

We stayed at the Hotel Panorama in my old stomping ground of TST.  We went to Signal Hill Park behind my old place and I don't think I ever went there before (despite living there for 2.5 years)  Joe H. met us for breakfast.  It was a lovely morning in my old 'hood - but I certainly would not want to live there now with the kiddos.

Mother's Day we went to Altira for brunch.  And then Matt took Charlotte to the Red Market area and she bought me flowers... her face was beaming and happy and it just made my day!

Janice and Char at Pizza Express.  My fave 798 Unit & Co is gone now :(.
