C's first poetry award and D's art

C recited The Kings Breakfast by AA Milne to his class today from memory; learning a lesson in resilience at the same time. His reward was a Roman Coin. Here it is along with a special piece of D's recent artwork.

Homemade Bread!

The kids needed to bring in some regional food o school on Friday, so with the help of Bella they made pumpernickel and cornbread.

REVISED: Waiting for a Pizza

Image
Up at Rubinos. With Taro.  Waiting for our 'Zzaa. Updated:  We had a fun filled weekend at the Park Household. Both kids had friends sleep over on Friday-Their first experiences.  Taro and Amber joined us for craziness, some sleep, and French Breakfast in the morning.  The boys had takeaway pizza in front of a movie, hence the picture above. Sunday after church, we all ventured into Central London.  I had a very compelling dream about Malaysian food (from my time in Singapore) 10 days ago.  It turned into a mission to expose Bella and the kids to nasi lemak, fried kway te yoh and others.  It ended at Rasa Sayag- a restaurant on the edge of China Town. Then after watching the street performers in Covent Garden for a hour, we all four hopped in a bicycle rickshaw for a ride to the tube.

A Weekend with Friends

We caught up this past weekend with two sets of close friends we hadn't seen recently- The Hampden-Turners and the Quintons. By way of the way back machine, here's the H-T s and here's the Quintons .  And here's some video .  And here's Rupert, Pen and C . Here are the kids atop a large fort (or in the UK, a den), made of logs, located in the middle of Wimbledon Common. Pen, C, D, Charlie (face painted as a Pirate) And here are the kids with Rupert and Benedict (There is a famous line about never working in cinema with kids and animals- trying to get them still was insurmountable).
