Snax Box # 030 - Two Rabbit + Two Bear

There are always days when my mind will go blank and no creativity cells.  Sometimes, I really have no idea what to pack for lil prince to bring to school.  On Sunday, I asked him what does he wants for his snack on Monday.  He told me "Mummy, I want two rabbit and two bear".  I thought he was just joking, before he went to bed, I asked him again and the replied was still the same -->two rabbit and two bear.

Here's my two rabbit and two bear snack box.  There are actually two rabbits but the other one was hidden below (space constraint).  The menu was bread with cheese accompanied by the 'side dishes' such as strawberries, grapes, cherry tomatoes and not forgetting his favourite A, B, C biscuits.  I added some marshmallows too.

At the end of the day, I asked him what he at in school.  His answer was "Two rabbit and two bear"!

My 1st Pizza Activity

Last weekend we had pizza making activity at home.  This was my first time making pizza at home.  I wanted to let lil prince to have some hands-on experience in making pizza.  Due to time constraint, I didn't want to make the pizza base (coz I don't want all the mess in my kitchen).  I bought the ready made pizza base and pizza sauce.  The pizza base comes in a pack of 5 for RM 5.20.  

As for my pizza toppings, I had button mushroom, sausages, crab stick and tuna.  I wasn't sure if my home made pizza will turn out well, hence I didn't prepare a lot of ingredients (just some simple ones that I can find from my kitchen).  Lil prince had fun helping me to make the pizza.  It was quite an easy task for him to.  He only had to spread the pizza sauce and add in all the ingredients and arrange them any design he like.  Of course while he was arranging it, some went to him tummy as well :P.

My greatest satisfaction at the end of this activity was to see him munching his pizza one by one.  He kept saying 'oooo so nice'!

Here's our 'master piece'....home made pizza!

Snax Box # 029 - Two Lil Teddies

This week I didn't make any nice snack box for my lil prince.  I was not feeling well.  The flu and sore throat bug has attacked me for few days.  I was feeling so tired after work and on the other hand, no creativity cells in my mind this week.  I didn't know what to pack for him.  I bought some pastries from Sun Moulin at 1U  and packed it for his snack box.  Can you imagine I gave him pastries for his snack time for three days in a row?...This mummy is really so boring.

I only remember to snap a photo of this snack box for this week :).  Here are my tow lil teddies accompanied by some chocolate biscuits, ham, tomatoes and strawberries.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

RM5 for Bubblegummer Shoe

Bata was having a Shoe Fair Sale at Viva Expo Hall and of course since we were at Viva, I wouldn't miss this sale.  I guess all ladies are into shoes!  I went to their shoe sales last year too and manage to grab some shoes for lil princess for a very reasonable price.

It was hard to believe that we can actually buy a pair of shoe at RM5.  This time, they had more ladies shoes as compared to the last one that I went last year.  As I was looking around, I saw a pair of shoe for my lil prince price at RM5!  I actually cannot believe that the Bubblegummers shoe is RM5 and I asked the sales promoter there to confirm.  I used to buy a pair at RM29.99 and sometimes even at a higher price.  This shoe cost only RM5.  Although the colour is a bit dull (brown colour) coz I prefer to buy blue shoes for my lil prince, hence, I thought no harm buying as we can use it for casual wear.  I bought two pairs with different sizes.  At least I know for the next two months, I don't have to go around scouting for shoes again :).  I don't normally spent much on my kids shoes since they outgrown them every few months.  I think this is really a good buy, value for money and quality!
 This time I also managed to buy two pairs for myself.  Both are from Bata Comfit.  Each price at RM20.00.  I saw the original price for this pair was RM69.90.   Nice shoe for evening wear.

This one was for casual wear, original price was RM49.90.  I bought it for RM20.

Overall, I paid RM50 for four pairs of shoes.  Not bad,ya!   I am still very amazed at my RM5 shoe!

Friso Growing Up Together @ 1 Utama

We went to the Frisco Growing Up Together Road show at 1U last weekend.  Thanks to Mummy Ling for posting this event at her blog.  We reached there early as we wanted to borrow the stroller for lil princess since nowadays we seldom bring out her stroller.  It's much easier to borrow from the malls, after all it's FOC :P.

I think we were the first to register for the event when they started.  We registered ourselves, got our passport and proceed to enter the interactive 'tunnel'.  We only managed to play two games at the interactive tunnel before proceeding to the photo section.

The photo section had a cartoon camera which will capture our photo and add 'decorative' items to the photo.  Next, we register for the craft activity.  They were having the hanging mobile craft at 11.00am.  Both lil prince and I went for the craft session while the other pair (papa and lil princess went ronda-ronda).   I enjoyed the craft session but lil price seems to enjoying playing with the rings instead of helping me with the hanging mobile.  Mummy did most of the craft!

Overall, we did enjoy ourselves especially the kids as they love to play with the interactive games.  I do enjoy attending events like this which has kids activities.  Nowadays most of the roadshows events have lots of interactive PC programmes! 

 Their next stop will be at Sunway Pyramid from 9 March to 11 March 2012.  If you miss the one at 1U, don't worry, you can still visit them at Sunway Pyramid.

 


Here's our craft work, the hanging mobile.  It's now hanging beautifully at our dinning hall :P

Snax Box # 028 - It's All About Egg Tarts

My lil prince loved to eat egg tarts.  I will buy the egg tarts from pasar malam or sometimes from the cake shop if we don't have time to go pasar malam.

I was afraid that he won't be able to finish one whole egg tart during his snack time, I will cut the egg tarts and separate them for two days.

When I was packing the egg tarts in the box, it looks a bit plain.  Hence,  I added some smiley faces, and look how happy my egg tarts are ^__^.



These are my egg tarts decoration for Monday and Tuesday!

Heart Shape Pancake

I love to eat pancakes.  I bought this ready made pancake mix from Tesco to give it a try since I have not made pancake before.  I wanted to buy the maple syrup but couldn't find it so replaced it with the Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.  The chocolate syrup taste really good and if you add it in your ice-cream, it's even better!

My pancake turn out a bit dry.  Probably it's due to the size of egg that I use.  I was supposed to add a Grade A egg into the mixture but I'm not sure about the size of egg that I had.
I will try other brands of pancake the next round :P
