Bangkok Week 878

April 24, 2025

The best thing about traveling is coming home! While they miss Sydney, these two are also happy to be home, and have slotted back into routine so well. It’s back to school, back to work, back to fun!

Back at home, and enjoying (Dad's) muesli. It's good to be back!

But oh my, how the papayas have grown!

Refamiliarizing themselves with their toys.

Back to swimming for Lucy!

Arlo's happy to be back, too.

And a short detour to the post office, to send souvenirs to Trat.

Stopping for a selfie with the transformer along the way.

Making poor K. Wan read about deep sea creatures, while she's meant to be ironing.

Lucy's discovering novel ways to wash her hands.

Reconnecting with their bikes.

No sooner are we back, than it's Easter!

Look at these cute koalas, safeguarding the eggs.

That's a clever place for an Easter Egg, bunny!

Lucy doesn't want to wake up; and she doesn't remember what Easter is all about so that's not enticing.

Arlo was quick to pick up from last year...

... and Lucy was quick to catch on.

Excited by her find.

Counting the eggs and putting them in a communal cup.

Arlo wanted to know why ocean water is salty, if we can't see the salt. So here he is, dissolving some himself.

Lucy! Time for a haircut before we go back to school!

The finished product! We took a good couple inches off.

This week, while Mum & Arlo went to piano...

... Lucy and Dad headed to a plant store, to buy some more pots for the papayas..

And then stopped at the peacock cafe on the way home.

Lucy also turns 3 years and 1 month old today.

These are the most mature of the papayas. The ring leader is getting tall!

And it's time for a swim!

Diving for rings, and discussing midnight zone, with the next door neighbor.

What a look, Lucy!

A week's worth of recycling to get rid of.

And then it's back to school, at long last!

Jumping right back into the swing of things.

Knock on wood, but Lucy is much less clingy than she was at the end of Term 2.

Here she is, bouncing on the trampoline while riding a bike.

She scored herself in the goal!

Hanging out with her new BFF.

Rockin' the stylish nursery look.

Beautiful sunset.

Arlo's trying to repair a stuck wheel on one of the bikes.

Just hanging out... but oh-so-sweaty after only a few minutes!

Fun at football.

Still working on home renovations.

Showing off the collection of airplanes he made at school earlier in the week.

(It's quite the collection for only having been back a few days.)

The tall papaya tree is taller than Arlo now!

Playing with the neighborhood kids.

A queue for the bird feeder.

A car carrier?

Drive carefully.

Lucy brought home a library book that we have already (Peppa Goes Ice Skating) and is comparing the two copies.

Meanwhile, this guy is excited for the new gummies.

Special ice cream for dinner.

Sneaking in an evening bike ride.

It's millipede season!

Good night and see you next week!
