It's all about getting them occupied...
After knowing that I was pregnant with Bea3, people around me were expecting that I'd consider taking a live-in helper.
But no matter chaotic and messy the house is, I'm still adamant that we can do without one.
"So, who does the cooking?" the wide-eyed mother of one, that I met in the peaditrician's clinic almost jumped off her chair. She had a maid tagging along, and occasionally sighed while observing my two elder girls turning the place upside down.
I just said, if cooking needs to be done, I'd do it. And hubby can fry the eggs, and sausages sometimes;).
To me it is all about getting the kids to be occupied.
The elder kids kicked off with this project when I went in the room to get Bea3 to sleep and were done with it after I finished making dinner.
Both were very happy with the artwork.
Well, the dinner that I made, think a lot of people won't consider stir-fry-anchovies-prawns-mixed vege in 15 minutes as cooking.
But 3 of us really enjoyed it.
That's what I normally do when hubby has to work late. Depending on my mood, sometimes I do get freaked out with the thought that I'd be left alone with the girls. Then, those numbers of nearby pizza deliveries come in handy;).

Oh my goodness.. how did that chair become like that! :)
Yeah, the trick is to keep them occupied.
Keep up the good work!
Can we do it?
Yes we can!
Me with 3 children 6yo,3yo&1yo and no maid.
Stir frying is the best...
This is amazing, the chair, LOL!
Can I have more ideas on how to keep Alysha occupied.
tabik spring to you :D.
Salute & hats of to you!!
Is that glue & were they trying to decor the chair ?? LOL!!
The Chair! The Chair! LOL! Your homemade fastfood looks delicious. Can I have some? :)
Oh yes ... Pizza Hut, Shakey's, Dominos, McD, Burger King ... I've called them all. Especially after a hard day at work. Sometimes for lunch I call from the office, and have them delivered to my kids at home :)
The chair ... did they add some paint too? That would have looked good. But I probably would have freaked out if my kids did that!!!
Between the chair and the stir fry, I'd go for the latter... looks good...
Yes Geetha...that's the trick but sometimes we run out of ideas too.
butterflutter...you, too? I must learn from you.
Shamira...have you tried asking her to peel garlic. Good for fine motor skill. My kids can spend a good 1/2 hour on that;).
sofhib...no need tabik spring la. Biasa je tu..
a&a's mom...they were trying to 'colour' the chair.
mumsgather...nothing special la. My kids and I are no fussy-eater. Anything also can.
QOTH...I would have freaked out if they did it on the wooden chair but that was a plastic one. We had a good time cleaning it in the bathroom after that.
lrong...off course you would go for the latter, hubby too and leave to cleaning to mommy:(
Oh my.. you are a cool mum.. I would have freaked out if I see the chair being painted that way..
But were the older 2 kids careful? I didn't see any spillage on the floor!
The 1 dish meal looks good.. don't worry..
