This year we had a pretty similar group get together for a rainbow project which I pinched from the sensational "Imagination Tree", a blog I frequent ... ohhh I don't know... about 10 times a week!!!
We invited a bunch of the condo kiddlets around and they went to work picking through the pile of tit-bits and sticking it to the corresponding colour on our huge rainbow. I was so busy slapping glue about the place that I did not manage to take a single photograph myself!!!
Before I sign off I wanted to add a little aside about the transient nature of expat-ing. I am so grateful for the awesome crowd of families we have come to know in our condo-community here in Singapore. Doing this exercise made me realise that Miss May has been doing art's and crafts with the same core group of little friends for over a year. Miss S, Master O, Master A, Miss M, Master Z, Miss P (and more recently) Miss Z are all from expat families like us so it is inevitable that we will all, at some point move elsewhere, or home. It is this very sad thing when a family moves away and leaves little friends behind, one of the hardest thing (I think) about being an expat. We know already that a few friends will be departing in 2013 and though months away we are already sad about it!! I truly believe that with social media and technology we are much more likely to say in touch and that these friends will remain dear friends for years to come... here's hoping!
