TAS food fair


The American School which is about 10 minutes away from our home had their 24th annual food fair today. They start at 10am and have a carnival like atmosphere.

At 9 am I see Mr. Twinkle Toes (nate) run quickly from the back of the kitchen to the front door, grab his small chair, where he sits to put on his shoes, runs back quickly with it to the back of the house, I suspect to join olivia and wendy at their small breakfast table. I am sitting on the single seat sofa feeding ike. little ike now has eyelashes that poke out of his eyelids, ie getting longer and more hair too. Then mr. twinkle toes zips by again, puts on his new thomas the train sandals and goes around the front to the back area. hmmm?

by the time ike finishes his breakfast it is about 9:20, I go to the back and find nate looking at me saying, bread yummy and wendy and olivia going shhhhhh. They were eating their Qong yubing (onion pancakes, really thin and crispy from the neighbour who makes that for a living and sells it in Tienmu), they admit to feeding him quite a bit, hmmm, dada wasn't so successful at nate's breakfast I see.

9:30 and I say we should try and get ready to go... nate gets his socks and puts on his shoes, I get his snacks and olivia is cleaning up, wendy is preparing ike.... as I get nate into his car seat, I hear this giggles and bug splutter noises.... oh my god screams.... tissue paper flying, more laughter.... ike has pooed on wendy, she catches the stuff without getting the area dirty, olivia is pulling toilet paper out of the toilet holder.

9:45 ike is cleaned up and ready to go... phew.

10:00 we get there, nate tries an ice cream cone by himself (will post picture soon), he will need alot of practise he had a big chocolate beard, ike slept through it all. With all the good malaysian food wendy has been cooking, both the malaysian and singaporean booth was really not that appetising. Bought some NZ cookies which nate had one. Oh and he had two mini sweet potatoes too before the Qong yubing. Where does all this food go?

Before 11, ike is awake and is hungry! wendy and olivia think his poo was bigger than his intake of food! we zip home to feed them and then it was their nap time.
