Jasmine & Josh are away in Bali this week; and so we fill the weekend with swimming lessons and playdates. Plus, an adventurous Monday & Tuesday while K. Noi is out sick.

Welcome back! Jas & Josh are off to Bali this week, but the orchid from the floating market is doing well in its new home.

Speaking of orchids, Lucy got her own mini-bouquet from Arlo & Dad.

Intently working on a carrot.

Oh my! Arlo's got glowing ears!

And Lucy is holding a ball of fire!
View fullsize
Duet time...
View fullsize
... but four hands are not enough for Lucy.
View fullsize
Oh dear. These two monkeys are dangerous when they work together.

Enjoying dad's cereal for breakfast.

Cutting out a memory game from one of his new Chirp Magazines.

Arlo and Lucy had friends over -- it's very convenient to find another pair of siblings the same age!

Heading off to (make-up) swimming... by tuk tuk!

In fact, Lucy had a private lesson!

She enjoys sitting at this table after class, to eat bananas.

Another huge cactus bloom!

Uh oh! Dad's away for work and P'Noi is home sick. So Lucy and Mum have to take Arlo to school today!
View fullsize
Arlo saw an older schoolmate hanging by her legs ... so he wanted to try too.
View fullsize
Someone has made herself at home at school already.
View fullsize
And then, Mum & Lucy headed to Playville!
View fullsize
We were last hear almost a year ago; I'm sure Lucy doesn't remember it.
View fullsize
She was very courageous, and very independent!
View fullsize
Interestingly, she was very engaged with the make-up counter and all the (wooden) lotions and creams.

Going fishing together!

Putting babies to sleep.
View fullsize
Harvesting carrots.

Grooming the chickens?
View fullsize
"Washing" hands.
View fullsize
And lots and lots of sliding!
View fullsize
I was very impressed; Lucy was also able to climb up this "rock climbing" wall -- a shortcut to the slide!
View fullsize
We've picked up Arlo, and now it's Lucy's nap time. Can't you tell?
