Candra's cute bedtime prayer today

Candra's cute bedtime prayer today: 

"Dear Father, thank You for good weather today so we could go to T's house (??? T lives just next door), please help us sleep well, eat more vegetables and less meat, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen!"

She has been praying this eat more vegetables prayer for a while.. but today, she added, "less meat". :p 

While I am making dietary changes on the home front, my dear little girl helps out in prayers! Well done!

How siblings played :)

Our night at Festive hotel was interesting...When daddy finally managed to get Joshua to stay within the boundary we created for the 2 kids, they started playing and not sleeping till 11pm...

For the first time, there was no fighting between them :) and they played like siblings who loved each other. Amazing..

We tried not to laugh in our corner, pretending to be sleeping.

They sang, chatted, rolled around (don't ask me how but they understood each other).

At one point, Candra said to Joshua: "I like you Joshua" :)

Then after singing, she asked: "Joshua, 好听吗？" And Joshua made a sound which meant 'yes' :p

At another point, this conversation ensued...

Candra: "Joshua, why are you so cute? Who made you so cute?" (I ask them this everyday by the way haha!)

Candra: "Is it mama? Papa? Auntie Angie (our helper) or me?"

Joshua: MAMA!

Candra: haha 你错了！是耶稣！

We were trying so hard not to laugh.

From darkness to light and back to darkness again :p

Candra since young slept in her own room in the dark. 

When Joshua was undergoing training, we thought he might have been afraid of the dark, so we tried to give some night light. 

BUT, Candra took the chance to insist on having night light on every night henceforth. Her reasoning: "I am afraid of the dark." 

We were very skeptical, but gave her the benefit of the doubt anyway. 

After more tha

n half a year, daddy bought "glow in the dark" stars tonight.

Just one tiny little glowing star above her bed got her to excitedly tell us to switch off all lights tonight. One tiny glowing star.

And now.. both are sleeping in complete darkness again.

So much for her being afraid of the dark. Our skepticism from day 1 was right!! This little girl.........

Hoping we can revert and save some electricity from now on.. haha :)
