Bangkok Week 677

June 17, 2021

Arlo and Bella check out a new dog park; Mum makes pumpkin bread to last a lifetime; and lucky us, we receive another shipment of fresh fruit from Trat! Keeping busy during COVID.

Got Arlo a new mattress to bring to Trat: everyone try it out!

Dad's finished his vaccine regime. Yay!

Just waiting 30 minutes to make sure nothing dramatic happens.

Back at home, Mum puts her baking skills to the test, to use some of this giant pumpkin to make pumpkin bread.

The end result.

Just hanging around on a Saturday afternoon.

Waltzing with Dad.

Sleeping, hand-in-hand. (Head-on-hand?)

Where are we off to, with Bella in tow?

The dog park (as Arlo calls it, anyway).

This doggie playground used to be right behind our house, but they just moved beyond On Nut.

Arlo probably enjoyed it more than Bella.

Look, a flower!

Riding on the stationary dogs.

Arlo's probably wondering why it's not rocking.

"Can we go home yet?"

Back at home, Arlo eyes his afternoon snack.

Delicious! (Not to toot my own horn, but it did turn out well; the fresh ginger helped!)

Sunday morning walk around the block.

Wow, another pumpkin snack!

Let's try painting again. It's been a while.

Well, it's more tolerable with a paint brush.

But it still makes for messy hands!!

Showing Mum his messy hands.

So messy!

That's it, this artist is DONE!

Drawing with P'Noi on Monday. Crayons are so much better.

Arlo turns 1 year and 9 months today! Time to measure up!

This is the face of someone who's figured out how the laundry rack works.

Oh boy, oh boy! Another box of fruit from Trat.

Everyone's taking a look at what's inside.

Yum yum! Arlo's first time trying mangosteen.

Our little samurai.

Then a mango truck came through the neighborhood, with prices too good to resist. Too bad we just got 10kg of fruit delivered to our door.

Dad just bought lucky Arlo a new book: the 100-storey house.

Any water in there? It's awfully dark...

Smile!

Arlo's latest fascination? Armpits! Where's Dad's armpit?

Portrait of a monkey.

In three steps: how the creepy heart flower blooms.

Portrait of the boys.

Happy Birthday, Yaa!

And happy birthday, Auntie Julia! Another year older!

"Working" -- that's how Arlo describes this.

Mum inventories her pens and draws at the desk all day.

Still more pumpkin bread: snack up!

The moon! After a month of cloudy nights, it's finally back!

Enjoying the evening breeze, but not missing a chance to check on the pens.

We'll be here drawing; and we'll see you next week!
