Lately

The week of the wedding my old friend(met 10 years ago when I first came to EAsia) called and asked if Caroline would be in it!  Caroline was thrilled.  My friend ordered a dress online and had it sent to our apartment. 
Lawrence came with Daddy.  Handsome.  He lasted about 45 min and then they left early!
Rainy day indoor playground fun with our buddy Grady.
Our second time to a local climbing wall.  This time Car goes all the way to touch the monkey at top.  I also went(yes, no pictures please).  Its not at easy at it looks, as my upper body can tell you.  Way to go Caroline!(she got a milkshake for her efforts)
Lawrence wanted to try last minute, but then was not happy about it. 
Haircuts!  Caroline finished up homeschool first grade last week, she asked nicely if I would give her a week off of homeschool(they still go to local school in the am through end of June).  I kindly said yes.  2nd grade starts next week:)

Busy Spring Day at the playground.  This Spring has been the longest Spring that I can remember.  Please remind me of this if I ever tell you that there is a week of Spring over here.  Spring 2012, remember.
Best toy that we brought over, most worth it, tho it will break your back(read: heavy) Magnatiles.  All 4 kids love them and make new things each day.  And sometimes, just sometimes, they even work together to create a masterpiece.
Friends.  Sometimes.  When they aren't fighting.  See the cute video below when Juddy is excited about having "2 girls".
Yes, thats right.  No more fish guts(see early post)  The police are in and have cleaned up all the streets around us.  Less fish guts on our shoes, less crowds around us keeping us from moving, less comments about our circus of a family, BUT, less fresh available fruit, veggies, and craziness.  You can see my point yes?  Everyday is an adventure to see what building they are tearing down, who gets kicked out, and what wall they are building.
Yes, they came in a just built up that wall across the street.  We think to keep the people from operating un-registered business, but no one can be sure.
And that was where my fresh egg lady was.  Sigh.  I might have to actually walk more than out of my complex to get eggs. . .
Oh, and just for clarification, Target has not come to Asia.  It was a joke.  Keep those packages coming!:)
