Bangkok Week 848

September 26, 2024

It was a busy and tiring weekend, with two playdates for each Arlo and Lucy. But we even got some swimming in, so I’d call it a success!

Hot on Arlo's heels, Lucy celebrates turning 2 1/2 today!

And shows off what a big girl she is by completing the monkey bars at Arlo's school.

Arlo's house...

... which he's defending against anyone and everyone who comes near. Which has led to issues.

"Playing in the garden" before Mum has to leave for work.

Happy that it's Friday afternoon!

And here come Mum & Arlo, heading home on a tuk-tuk.

Beautiful orchid!

Showing off the giraffe that took two days to complete.

Bubble beard!

Arlo's constructed a giant condo in the kitchen.

Swimming for Lucy. These days, she wants nothing to do with the lessons.

Arlo tends to bring too much energy, too.

Playdate with Arlo's friend Trins, and his younger sister Pim.

On Sunday morning, Arlo built a car, complete with dash cam.

Impromptu Sunday morning trip to Swensen's, to make use of our membership!

Arlo is enjoying his bubble gum...

... while Lucy is following in Mum and Granny Aki's footsteps, with Mint Chocolate Chip.

Sunday lunch with Arlo's classmate Aynur, and Lucy's classmate Amalia.

And despite everyone fatigue from the busy weekend, a dip in the pool on Sunday evening, too.

No TV dinners for these two, so Washing Machine dinner will have to suffice.

Enjoying the bubble bath!

Monday morning milk....

Starting the week off right.

Lotus in full bloom.

This pretty much sums up Lucy.

Heading home in the tuk tuk again.

Taking the annual family photos for Mum's visa renewal.

This year was the hardest of all. Here, Lucy said, "I do mad face!"

And in this bedroom shot, they both insisted on lying in the bed.

Are both children in this photo?

Arlo trying his hardest to block everyone else.

Picking up the monkey after school, post-wardrobe change.

Lounging around after a long day.

Lucky Arlo & Lucy: dad got special mint chocolate ice cream on a stick!

Is that where we read, Lucy?

Latest shot of the avocado.

More trampolining at Arlo's school.

The pirate ship is over on the nursery side now.

At school very early on Thursday morning for a meeting with Arlo's teacher, so they have the yard entirely to themselves!

Having fun in Lucy's room ... but where's Lucy!?

Meticulously drawing.

Lucy's masterpiece.

And practicing her modeling poses.

Entertained by the new socks for P.E.

See you next week!
