26.6.19

Today in history.

Today deserves a write up.
First & foremost, my firstborn went for her first ever school trip today.
Sent her to school like I normally do, drove off & parked in front of the bus just to see her get on.
I had the option of following her, & I did contemplate on it,
But last week I absentmindedly made plans with Lin for today (simple error of her suggesting the 26th while I had 'next Wednesday' in my head for Hilwa's trip lol).
Took it as a sign I should let her go on her own.. I mean, so not cool for mommy to tag along on her trip. She IS six 🙄 bahahah
Anyways, trip went great.
They visited a chocolate factory, I told her that whatever she's buying, she needs to buy one for Izzaz too.. & she remembered.
First thing she did when she got home was split her spoils into two equal piles & gave her brother. Mama proud :')
After the chocolate factory, they went to G2G Animal Garden, which is a petting zoo similar to Farm in the City by the looks of their Instagram & pictures Hilwa's teacher sent.
Initial plan was Farm in the City, but last minute change of plans. Oh well, same difference.
Hilwa said she didn't touch the snake & iguana (she called it Gekko for obvious reasons), but she did pet a cat lol.
Then they had lunch at KFC, which I told her teacher yesterday that she only eats nuggets & fries but the picture her teacher sent me she had a piece of chicken & nasi in front of her.
I asked her what she had for lunch, she said nuggets, so I guess they rectified that.
& what's important is she didn't start crying like she did during their teacher's day celebration lol.
They got back to the school at 3.30pm & she proudly told me she slept on the bus.
Been a champ all day, I'm so so proud :')

As for me, after Hilwa got on the bus I picked Lin up, had breakfast with her then went plant hunting!
It's probably the first time I've been to a nursery as an adult, on my own, & initiated by myself lol.
Got some plants & succulents for the house, practiced restraint & only spent RM56 (the RM10 chilli plant for Yaya doesn't count),
& Izzaz enjoyed himself chasing chickens.
Yes, the nursery has live chickens roaming around.. we found one sitting in a pot on top of a very high shelf bahahaha I can't believe I forgot to snap a photo!
Then from the nursery we went to visit Wan & baby Suhaila!
Had lunch & coffee with my girls, got to wear Suhaila in a ring sling & rocked her to sleep, caught up with each other for 3 hours.
It's time very well spent by my standards.

I thought both Hilwa & I would be knocked out when we got home (Izzaz passed out in the car, like literally splayed out in the backseat),
But thanks to her nap in the bus they both were quite energetic.
& let it be known that I'm at a point in my life where I would prefer to walk as much as possible everyday, so I brought them down on a mission.
To 7e to buy bread, which wasn't available, so onwards to Jaya Grocer.
What the hell, let's Wizards Unite on the way bahaha.
We passed the big playground next to block D so the kids demanded to play, turns out it's within range of Surau Damansara Perdana which is an inn in Wizards Unite.
Item 3 on the mission list was to go find small rocks & gravel to mix in with my potting soil so I can repot the succulents I got. Success.
& on our walk back home we passed the pool cafe so why not tapau dinner bahaha.
Felt so good to accomplish so many things on a short half hour walk.
Now I'm literally melting off the couch but somehow these goons ain't sleeping yet x_x
