Siarra, Kai and I had a lovely day together. It began with a breakfast of oatmeal, followed by a hearty dose of Sunday morning cartoons 
Once they managed to tear themselves away from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse we drove into Chiang Mai to go to church together. Prayers said and the Our Father sung, we then proceeded to the park. Climbing, running and twirling through the playground area was the “warm up” – jelly popsicles were the “cool down.” Siarra and Kai decided that we also needed to feed the pigeons; a decision Kai later regretted. It turns out he is quite afraid of them when they gather by the hundreds at his feet! Sigh. A good “transition moment” – we headed back to the car and returned home where Dad was waiting for us, having just returned from a weekend of kayaking with a group of Grade 9 students. The kids had a playdate scheduled…I had a massage scheduled. And a pedicure. Then dinner out. Being a Mom has a lot of perks!
