Bangkok Week 799

October 19, 2023

We reach the end of the 700s! Arlo’s school is on mid-term break this week, and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) he’s also feeling pretty under-the-weather. But Lucy is in top form, and ready to enjoy the week at home with her brother.

Happy Holiday Friday!

No photos of excited Lucy's lesson today, because Dad and Arlo are shopping.

Excited to eat the enoki mushrooms that he picked out at the store.

Afternoon arts & crafts.

Late-afternoon walk.

What a one-in-a-million coincidence... Lucy's leftover pasta fell onto the plate just like this!

Someone wanted to wear Mum's old bathing suit to bed.

Two climbing monkeys up on the forbidden chair.

At least it yielded some cute photos.

Someone turns a month older today, and is really into making birds with his hands.

So Lucy had to try, too.

Someone's all ready for her swimming lesson.

Dad's here to drop her off...

... and then check on the red car.

Someone's all grown up, and doesn't need Mum's help drinking her milk anymore!

Showing off his new bathing suit.

No room left in the bed for Lucy!

Someone's starting to feel unwell.

Lucy kindly went for a 45-minute walk to keep from waking up her brother.

Practicing her modeling poses.

Arlo's contemplating being a swimmer for halloween.

Lucy asked to play in the shower this morning.

Face time with Granny and Grandpa. In Japan now!

Have you ever seen such enthusiasm for ice cream?

Now that's more like it.

Check out this classic car, parked in front of the donut shop. Believe it was a Bentley.

Lucy's fresh new bangs. She can't believe it.

When the camera's in selfie mode, she knows how to ham it up!

The new bangs the next day.

You'd think Lucy's another month older today too... but no. She just wanted her photo taken in front of the tree.

Looking at an ice cream sprinkle under the magnifying glass.

Someone's looking a bit droopy.

The pomelo is taller than Arlo now!

Everyone playing house.

Lucy is practicing for body-surfing.

This is some very serious popcycle eating.

Peacefully reading a book together.

The next morning, picking up where we left off.

What it would look like if Arlo and Lucy were the same height.

Eating a scrumptious bowl of ice.

Ice cream for dessert: a story in 4 parts.

Arlo's reward for a good week off: a new car.

It's a classic BMW convertible (from Dollarama).

Lucy is one-upping herself, and enjoying a bowl of spicy soup for lunch.

Quick house update: the railings are white now.

The walls and door frames are being painted.

The wood has been added to the new banister on the top floor.

The kitchen cabinetry is going in. Here's where the washer & dryer will go.

Arlo, with a car washing sponge in his pants.

Good night, and see you next week!
