Bangkok Week 833

June 13, 2024

It’s the culmination of art week at Arlo’s school, and this year again, he was lucky to win a piece that he likes. Arlo’s class also did a short performance for the parents. We enjoyed several play dates, and a fun week around the moo baan.

It's the culmination of art week at Arlo's school.

Everyone is placing their final bids in the art auction.

And the students will take the stage for their final performance of the year.

The children, and the parents, are in position!

It's time for the Snowdrops to take the stage. Arlo and Aya lead the charge.

No nerves on these kids.

The class is singing a song of their own creation.

Arlo had the loudest voice on stage.

All done, and enjoying watching the other classes from their seats.

Then, we rush home for Lucy's swimming.

Can't leave swimming without a Yakult these days.

Lucky Arlo won this artwork - Sparkles - that his class made.

The balloon still floats, even when it's tiny.

This monkey decided her forehead is a great place for a sticker.

Excited by he new art in his room.

Saturday lunch special: curly fries.

Lucy's learning her geography.

Lots of sun means the fish fountain is very high!

Lucy enjoys the company of her bear.

Reading to bear.

Let's not nap all afternoon, Lucy.

Time for a bike ride!

Uncle Mick and Auntie Cat brought a delicious strawberry shortcake.

It's both delicious and super cute!

Sunday morning storytime!

And then a visit to Aya and Doreen's house.

And this is what Mum will look like with grey hair.

Their pool is cooler than ours, but fun nonetheless.

Arlo and Doreen enjoyed playing together in the big pool...

... while Aya and Lucy enjoyed the small pool.

And then the fun continued inside their condo.

Doreen enjoyed teaching Lucy how to draw and paint.

And their mum kindly made udon for lunch.

Silence while everyone enjoyed ice pops.

On the way back to the car, the kids stopped to feed the building's big fish.

These guys were hungry!

That was a tiring playdate! Arlo fell asleep on the drive home... and it's not even 10 minutes away.

Afternoon books...

...and Arlo learned some new games with Dad.

Advanced math bingo.

Breakfast entertainment for Lucy on Monday.

A giant fruit delivery arrived from Trat!

Someone enjoys decorating her face with bath bubbles.

Lucy's friend Clementine is home from school all week, which means Lucy has someone to play with during the day.

Meanwhile, this monkey insisted on bringing his giant fire truck to school.

Watching dad exercise in the exercise room.

Hair cut for Mum!

Dad's new ladder comes in quite handy.

Uh oh! Tree down after a very strong storm.

Looking for a kitten under the car. Nevermind the wet ground.

Lucy's been working on her balancing (and confidence).

Tadaa!

Beautiful skies after the rain.

So many kids home from school means quite the gang at the playground in the mornings!

Checking out a giant caterpillar.

Football for Arlo.

Some of Arlo's clay artwork from school. Great work, Arlo!

Helicopter overhead!

After-dinner swing.

There's no getting proper smiles from this one anymore.

Night night, and see you next week!
