The past few weekends -- Chinese New Year and Federal Territory Day -- passed in bliss for our little family. We didn't make plans to go anywhere except to stay home.
Though my mornings started very early (thanks to Moses being an early riser), I enjoyed our time together pushing him in his stroller looking for birds and eating cherries picked straight from our tree. Moses would alert us to any passing airplane by shooting his arm straight up in the air the minute he heard one...that boy is so alert and now I know where the word boy-sterous comes from!
Breakfasts were simple, but long-drawn out affairs under our little cherry-tree pergola, with sun spots flickering through and dancing on the old, wooden table. Zane had re-arranged the furniture so that now we are sitting on his hand-made two-seater rather than on Ikea stools. The leaves of the cherry tree provide excellent shade and the plants creeping up the wooden columns and beams of our pergola are beautiful to look at.
I made French toast, scrambled eggs and banana pancakes (all in mini sizes so that Moses could partake as well), and enjoyed beautiful breakfasts with coffee in our pajamas. Sometimes, Zane would join me if he woke up earlier, other times, it was Moses, me and Mr. Bill Bryson (I haven't finished his life and times yet).
We had guitar sessions with Zane, bike-riding with Moses, sniffed our neighbour's flowers, ate cherries, papaya, Chinese New Year oranges, took lots of photos for memories.
The weather was cloudy, sunny and raining in turns which promoted a kind of laziness in all of us. Afternoon naps in the master bedroom upstairs was nice cuddling up with hubby and Moses.
One evening, we bundled up everyone and went to the farmer's market for fresh produce. On fish alone, Zane spent almost RM70...but boy, did we bring back a huge bounty!
This is what weekends should be...and there's one more long weekend to look forward to on Thaipusam!
Happiness!
