A lovely Saturday

The son had chicken pox. He's in the clear now (yay!) but last Saturday, in a bid to quarantine him, we ended up having just the firstborn, an afternoon free from classes and a craving for haidilao that needed to be satisfied.


What happened was an extremely lovely, leisurely, indulgent and lazy Saturday. The husband made reservations to make lunch happen, and after some work with the girl, we commuted to town to meet the husband (who had sent the boy to the doc's and MIL's).


Lunch was lovely - we ate till we had dumplings coming out from our nostrils -  and I thank the husband for being so generous to share his craving with us so that we all get full tummies and hearts.


Post-lunch, we had no agenda at all; and ended up walking around with little aim. The beauty of this was that we ended up walking into a lovely piece of history where my old school sat; seeing some lovely architecture that we wouldn't normally admire and some nice pictures to capture this lovely Saturday.

Swinging fun

The man and the little girl - so much love

The girl enjoyed the time together too, feeling special that she was the only child for the afternoon. I hope that the husband and I can do this with each child more, as the attention and love devoted to one child feels different from when both are together.

Thankful, as always, for time spent with loved ones.
