View fullsize And Arlo gets to try his hand at driving the golf cart. View fullsize Hold on tight, Lucy! View fullsize They also had a little putting green. Arlo got a few balls in. View fullsize Lucy's standing around on the grass like the big kids. View fullsize Now what? View fullsize Lucky Arlo: Dad bought him a giant bubble wand. View fullsize And thanks to the wind, it was really easy to make bubbles. View fullsize Look at them go! View fullsize Let's catch the giant bubble, Lucy! View fullsize Back at home, Lucy's still processing everything she saw at the park... View fullsize ... while Arlo enjoys a freshly-baked focaccia bun that our neighbor brought over. View fullsize Lucy's having a good look at the little Monkey. She smiles at him just as much as Arlo did. View fullsize Wefie with my favorite little girl.

View fullsize As always, Dad and Arlo go to Sunday swimming together. View fullsize And then today, as a special treat, Lucy has a lunch date with her friend!

What's going on up there? I can tell you're up to something, guys! View fullsize Lucy has learned well from the Nosey Neighbors. View fullsize Wow! The two new cactus paddles have definitely outgrown their mother... View fullsize ... and the whole plant is now perilously tall (and skinny). View fullsize Good morning! Looking a little shy about her beautiful outfit today? View fullsize Lucy's really got her lean on these days. View fullsize What? Just playing with my cups! View fullsize Huh!

View fullsize You can join them when you're older and not going to eat all the leaves, Lucy! View fullsize And modeling yet another new outfit today. View fullsize This one's from her brother. View fullsize Somehow, though, Arlo wore this outfit at 12 months, and it was still loose on him. (I wonder if the tummy size makes a difference?) View fullsize Showing off the balancing skills she's been practicing. View fullsize Arlo's dressed in red today, too... View fullsize ... because they're celebrating Chinese New Year at school. View fullsize Lucy's still working on taking more than 2-3 steps at a time. View fullsize What? I'm practicing! View fullsize At pick-up, Arlo shows off the fan he made for CNY. View fullsize And he's winding up to something no good... View fullsize ... I think this monkey is outgrowing this school! View fullsize Heading home with commentary... View fullsize ... and insisting on shutting the gate himself. View fullsize We end this week with Lucy, practicing her sneak-attack from behind.
