Weekend Celebrations

	On the eve of DH's birthday, around nine o'clock in the evening he dragged me (gracefully) to the city to "experience" Lindt hot chocolate.
	We even saved queue time with the help of our friend Rey and Jules who just had dinner at Wagamama and were also going for a choco break with a group of friends! (Thanks Mommy Jules for taking the photo!)
	Another bonus was the presence of Carl Riseley - former Australian Idol finalist getting a cold drink. I tried to get a decent shot but the wait staff advised me not. Kill joy! I guess it's just photo op for the me and DH.
	To get over the fullness of the drink, we opted to walk a fair bit around Darling Harbour and found ourselves in Bungalow bar for some vodka and bourbon. It has been four years since we last stepped into this bar. This is how we capped his last night of being 30. What happened next - I leave to your great imagination!
	The morning after is Mother's Day and of course he is now officially, 31. This was my morning surprise. Breakfast in bed...
	... and a lot of (smothering) kisses from our two adorable boys. They are the reasons why I can proudly celebrate Mother's Day.
	Special mention to my DH who prepared my brekky. He was more inspired when Wiji, played "Happy Birthday" tune from his keyboard while he was in the kitchen.
	We got an impromptu lunch invitation from our good friend J & C. In the afternoon, we decided to bowl with a few friends and to let the kids experience "bowling". (I was thinking of having a bowling party for Wiji. But after last Sunday, I thought we'd just do that next year for his 7th.). Then heard the 7pm service at HillSong church. Oh, the message was perfect with the occasion (my occasion, that is!). It was entitled "Tears of a Mother".
	We had dinner at home... Practiced some "ballroom dancing" for an upcoming "costume" party. (Check this space for more details next weekend.) And you can guess that our fingers (from bowling) and toes (from dancing) were dead tired for the day.
	DH and I had a great time with our double celebration. They were simple and intimate but they were enjoyed most! As the saying goes, "Simple pleasures are life's treasures!". Happy Birthday dear hubby (DH)! You know I won't be celebrating motherhood without you!
