Grillicious!

Hubby's good friends SB and Jasper, together with their families, came for yet another grill party in our home on 7 August. Hubby and I love grill parties for the friendly alfresco camaraderie amongst the "grillers". This time round, the hubbies would be our butlers for the evening - grilling food galore for the lucky wives and kids! 

Our 3 hubbies were busy grilling and barbeque-ing all sorts of succulent delicacies like satays, juicy hamburgers and crayfish (which were sadly forgotten when the hubbies went out for a break, and hence burnt!). 



On top of that, we fried some bee hoon, ordered a pizza, and prepared salad for the kids and hungry mummies, while waiting for the hubbies to finish grilling! So it was truly food heaven!  

Meanwhile, the 6 kids and 1 baby had a fantastic time bonding over toys and games. It was encouraging to see all of them eating their dinners obediently and independently together - talk about positive peer pressure! It was even more heartening to see them giggling, chuckling and chatting with each other as the evening progressed, so that the mummies had all the time in the world to chat, while the daddies busied themselves in the sweltering outdoors, grilling our dinners! I think both daddies and mummies cherished the bonding sessions over these lazy chats and delightful discussions. 



With so much food on the dining table, and imbued with the contented feeling of being waited on, we mummies felt so blessed ;)
