Beach Babes!

Summer is here finally! FGP (Friendship Garden Playgroup) mom Angie drove us to the beach this morning. We survived the outing because we are moms! Well, I survived, other than feeling terribly exhausted and having body ache all over now like my body was going to fall apart. I almost bailed this morning as I was having bad backache last night but the pain lessen so I decided to join them.

We know we will not be able to hang out regularly in few months' time as the girls will be going for nursery classes in August and my boy will stick around for another year. We know all this weekly meet ups will have to come to an end because we are moms. Moms get busy. Life gets busy even for our toddlers. And of course, not forgetting I get tired and sleepy all the time, which doesn't help in making too much effort to set regular playdates. We simply enjoy each gathering we have for now and just let the kids have fun playing together.

Life brings people together and then circumstances pull them apart. I hate to make "seasonal" friends and I wish I can keep all the friends I made close to me. However, I am at this phase of my life whereby I can't commit much time to building friendships and it's a bummer. Or is it just me? I don't know. I have always loved having so many friends around back home. Friends I can just happen to bum into when I walked pass town because they were everywhere. Friends I get to hang out and watch movies together. Friends I get to meet and have drinks after work together. Yeah, friends. 

A friend of mine back home once gave me a gift. It is a porcelain angel with a message saying that good friends are like stars, you may not see them but they are always around. It was really touching. She is also trying to tell me even though we don't see each other often, she will never forget that we are friends. 

So, friends. I am remembering these faces and my friendship with the moms and even the little ones till it last.

Each and every single faces, while they last.

Oh, and remembering not just the faces but also the tooshes of the little ones.

Also not forgetting how these two fought with each other, trying to get into each other's way. Of course girl wins. I have to teach my son to give in and made him squeezed through the railing. Gi's screaming and crying helped pushed Chester to do it faster too. Hahahaha!
