Happy Thanksgiving!


Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and family.  
I am grateful for many things.  
Family is probably first on the list for me.  I'm so grateful for our little family.  Colin and I love being parents to our crazy boys and he's a great husband.  I am grateful for my extended family near and most of them far.  I miss them and I love them all. 
Friends are so important in my life.  I'm grateful for all that I have both near and far!
I'm grateful for this beautiful world that we live in and for the opportunity I have had to explore parts of it.  I wish I could spend more time traveling because I do enjoy seeing new places. 
I am grateful for my health even though it's a fight every day against this body of mine. 
I'm grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I'm thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Being a member of this church IS who I am and I am thankful for that. 

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving we had a lovely Thanksgiving meal with great friends.  The food was incredible and the company was so enjoyable.  I had a great time visiting and I was grateful for the chance to have a nice conversation with adults.  

 On Thanksgiving day we took the boys to the water park at Sentosa, Adventure Cove.  We had a lovely afternoon playing at the park with the boys.  We all came home sunburned.  We stopped in Little India on the way home and went shopping for some Christmas gifts and ate at my favorite restaurant, Muthu's Curry.


Funny little side note.  The lifeguard was so mad that I was behind him taking this photo.  I'm all for safety rules and procedures, but they gotta make sense.  Telling me to back up when the kids had to walk 50 meters to the end of the slide just doesn't make any sense!  ah, Singapore!

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
