皓月闪烁，星光闪耀，祝大家中秋佳节美满快乐!
The kids were in for a surprise when I told them that we were going for a walk in our neighbourhood late tonight. Asher had made a lantern in school and he was so excited to bring it out! Little did they know that I had also secretly brought along some sparklers so that they could continue this yearly tradition of ours. You can imagine their smiles when I said "Ta-dah" and presented them with the boxes of sparklers, yippee!
We made our way to a pavilion and were pleasantly surprised to see that there was nobody there. Well, we even brought along some chrysanthemum tea and red pomelo - the kids helped me to peel it at home - to enjoy too, nice right? It was my first time celebrating this night with four kids on my own and we loved seeing how the baby was amused and happy with everything going on. Hop to my IG to see his expression and also check out how the kids raced and even put on a dance performance, woohoo.
It might be 9 days to PSLE written exams but I am so glad we took tonight off to relax, enjoy and remind ourselves of what is important in life. I told the big girl that I would be proud of her no matter what and her happiness matters the most to me.
Ariel said "Thank you, Mama, for always celebrating these occasions with us." Awwww. It was such a simple gesture yet the memories made are so precious and our hearts are full tonight.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day with your loved ones too! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
P.S. We looked up at the sky and said "Hello" to Popo whom we believe is now a star shining down on us. I used my sparkler to write the letters "I❤U" and hope she knows that, even the kids said "We miss you, Tai Po". And we always will. Family is truly everything.
