Basketball, The Rose Garden and More...

Christopher and his basketball team ended the week with a one point win this evening!  It was a very low scoring game but that is normal at the beginning of the season.  It was a great effort and the boys played really well together, especially for having no playing time together (other than a fifteen minute pre-game warmup).   

ISB is hosting a retreat for the new Middle School students tomorrow at this place...http://www.rosegardenriverside.com/.  It is about 1 hour from Bangkok so everyone is meeting at the school and will ride the bus there, spend the day and return about 5.00 pm.  The differences in my children:  Christopher opted to play in his basketball game tomorrow afternoon ("I can't let my team down, Mom") while Caitlynne and a group of her friends have been talking non-stop about this for the last few days.  I guess it is a major social event for the girls!  In addition to touring the gardens and the cultural village, they will have an opportunity to ride an elephant and ride paddle boats on the lake.  Caitlynne also has a babysitting job tomorrow tonight for the family next door.  They have three little ones - 2nd grade boy, Pre-K girl and a 3 1/2 year old boy - who absolutely adore Caitlynne. She has wanted to babysit for a long time and I was always hesitant for her to in Miami.  Here, she should have a steady stream of income because there are little kids everywhere - she just needs to get her name out there.

Our dinner this evening...

Steamed veggies in oyster sauce...
