I had the wonderful opportunity of sneaking out of the house early in the morning when Hubby and the Bees were still asleep to indulge in an hour of gloriously invigorating yoga in a nearby yoga sanctuary. Thereafter, I came home just when the family's rousing from their sleep - recharged, revived and invigorated after an active practice :)
Big Bee suggested to me that the whole family should be dressed in red and white since it was our nation's birthday.
I must give credit to her school's Social Studies because she knows a lot about our country's history and National Day too!

We then spent a substantial part of our day in Ikea, analysing how we could redecorate the girls' bedroom, and Anchorpoint. It was therapeutic to be by ourselves, without any social occasions or enrichment classes to rush to!
Back home, the girls were fascinated by the National Day Parade, and both of them sketched out our country's flag when watching the parade.

Although this year's musical format was a little different from previous years, I kind of enjoyed the parade show because it provided a very succinct history for the Bees in an easily understood mien.
All in all, a lazy and relaxing sort of day - my type of day!

We watched the parade too but the boys drifted away after the national anthem. Dylan was secretly humming to the tune (due to the recent performance in school) but concluded that the rest of the performance was too boring. Boys vs girls :-(
Awww....I am sure they will be watching NDP silently in time to come! My girls love the marching part surprisingly...maybe they like men in uniforms, heh heh!
