Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday Yesmin was off from school. After Lucas' class, we decided to join her friends in a near by farm, for the pumpkin patch. That day was the PERFECT fall day...sunny, dry, clear...just perfect!

Mommy, I found a friend who wouldn't take my toys from me!!

The bumpy hay ride to the Pumpkin patch


Finally no more pictures. We get to go look for the perfect pumpkin!!

Yesmin: I'm almost there, I'm almost there! Oppss....

Lucas: Can I have this pumpkin?
Mommy's rule: If you can carry it ALL the way to the car, then you may have it!


Here are the pumpkin for the fall, and there are the Christmas tree for Christmas! That is what I call good planning ~ ya, Jenny, haven't you learned something here??


"Mun dei kum" (in Cantonese) ~ ground full of "gold"


We end up not picking any of the pumpkin from the patch, instead, the kids got to pick miniature ones at the farm. After all, I've already got 2 big ones from the grocery store...if we have too many of them, I'll have trouble disposing them in our little trash bin in the coming week! ;P ~ A MOTHER'S "quick thinking" !!! ;)

kids do hv lotz of activities overthere, i mean outdoor compare to our city kids here. the trend here getting a bit weird for me, they spend most of their "after school" hour in front of the TV & computers. Weekend? @shopping mall!!! both yesmin & lucas looks very very adorable in those picture taken, and u as well. :)

U see, obesity is a problem here...so not so many years ago, only did they START to encourage kids to go out and play.
But, unlike tropical countries, people who live in 4 season countries, DO appreciate the SUN! :P I did realized when we were back home that majority of KL people like to spend their weekend in shopping malls. But, seriously, I think people do that also because it is way too hot to be outdoors. What do u do w/ ur kids?

All year summer definitely is not a good idea spending time outdoor. As u said, criminal rate here is on the rising trend, parents prefer to keep their children at home and minimizing outdoor. Saturday, i send LZ to weekend playclub to mix with other same age children. Evening will either bring him to an indoor playland in shopping mall or visit my mom. once in a while, will organize some activities by visiting nearby places like PD, Melaka, Science center, Farm etc...
