The Party

Sunday came and with it an early wake up time.  Kiddo was in at 7am to “check and see” if we were awake.  We were not , but we got up for her.  I want to note here, she will let us sleep in on Xmas and will have breakfast and  allow us coffee while presents sit under the tree with no complaints.  Sunday was - when are we going finish decorating, when can we blow up the balloons, only 4 hours until my party, now it’s only three and a half hours, etc etc etc.   She was all about the birthday party. It was fun.  It was wild… ish.  With a half dozen 8/9 year old girls running about, I expected the volume to be something akin to rock concert or jet taking off.  It was not.  I will credit them all that.  They were great.  Fun.  It got excited, but not out of control.  Also, I gotta say… Kiddo picked out some cool friends.  They are interesting, curious, respectful, and they cleaned up after themselves.  Literal...

Unusual Christmas

Weird day after Christmas here.  The girls only had the one day off.  They will get 4 weeks for Chinese New Years and a week of half days leading up to that, but it’s strange having the house to myself and have so much quiet the day after Christmas.   Not that I’m complaining.  I’ve got a desk to build today, as Kiddo really wanted a desk and chair for Xmas and she got one.  On top of that she got a bunch of books and some new soft friends to cuddle with… Including a cat.  That’ll pretty much complete her collection, but I’m sure we’ll learn of new friends needed/wanted in the days and weeks to come.  Also, she has asked for a pet fish and has done well to keep her room tidy and show responsibility over the last 6 weeks, so come CNY break, she will get getting a pet fish as well.  So, there’s that. On the 24th, SMIC had their Xmas concert and Kiddo hated it, but rocked it.  She was NOT looking forward to the outfit, to song, the dance… a...

One SHELL of a weekend.

The weather for the last week has been absolutely astounding.  Just perfect.  It has been 25-27 degrees (76-81F) pretty much daily for the last week.  The only problem is that today it’s supposed to be 32.5 (91F) and tomorrow the forecast calls for 18 and rain (64F).  A huge swing.  Then, we get a week of that before more wonderful spring time weather.  It’s better (IMHO) than the hot, hotter, or raining and hot of BKK.  So, I’ll look on the bright side. More bright side is that we mourned the fish, but we replaced them with two turtles.  Driving home with them, one was super active and trying to climb out of the bag and the other was docile and chilling.  The climber was named Everest and the chill one got named Granite.  They seem happy enough and Kiddo is loving having something a little more active and interactive than fish.  Not that she’s taking them out on walks or anything, but they will move, chill in the water, love the ...
