We had a good and quiet Valentine’s day, minus the fact that Frank had craving for ice cream and ask me if i could walk to the store in -48C windchill blizzard weather. Apparently he wanted me to experience the weather.. lol and heck it was an experience, I lost the lens of my old glasses and once that thing hit the snow since it was almost dark, I cant find the lens on the ground, I am lucky I had my new glasses at home. I was surprised that our co-op had some very fresh selections, the produce must have came in either today or yesterday and they are not too expensive either (by arctic standard that is). As much as we cringe at produce prices all the time, we have no choice but to buy whatever is new since we want Avarayna to try every single fruit and vegetables so she can not only grow properly but so she wont be a picky eater like me.So I bought some stuff and they had some decent looking strawberries and of course I bought chocolate. I made strawberry dipped in chocolate sauce and also cut up some bananas and dunk them in chocolate. The little girl never had fruit with chocolate before so she was intrigued though she is smart, when I gave her the strawberry to bite it down, she instead just licks the chocolate of it. Too bad Ben was still too young to eat anything.

The aftermath

love this pic, they look so much alike..lol. now if we are lucky we might be able to use the bath bombs we got from a specialty bath and soap store. but like i said, if we are lucky, both are still very much awake and its 8.30pm.

yvy, not that is not early for them, at least not for Avarayna whose routine bedtime is at 8pm or 8.30pm..
chiwi – i craved champagne while pregnant with Ben and beer as well. oddly enough though thoughtful, Frank visited me in the hospital with a bottle of Corona, it tasted filthy. i guess its my body’s way of saying, you are breastfeeding woman!..lol
MB – haha, no lah, he was a little sick plus it was good to be away from the kids for a while.
DR – hahaha, yes it was bad but not as bad.
