Wednesday

Our condo up the hill, through the haze, and on the left

I noticed that I have used the word "haze" in every post so I wanted to bust out of this pattern even though it is something we think about every day and almost every moment. It was a bit better today, with API readings in the low 100's and below. Rain finally came in the afternoon and that certainly must have helped push the noxious particles down to ground - what a relief!

Aurelia and her doll

I picked up the keys for the new apartment today and am excited to move in. It seems like a great place - lots more space, and a immediate access to a garden for the kids to play outside (when the air is not poison). Now we just have to rent out the current place!

No school again today, so the Manmumms organized to meet at the Bangsar Village jungle gym with all the kids. Aurelia and Rowan had a great time with Oslo and Finley as usual, and made some new friends in Annabelle and Daisy, as well as Clementine who will be in Aurelia's class in Alice Smith. We are really looking forward to her going there.

We had lunch at Marmalade - a restaurant with a decent play area - and then off to Arts and Crafts on the 3rd floor. Rowan made a paddle with attached ball and Aurelia made an amazing Ariel mermaid out of clay. Marlene was working from home so we had to stay out as long as possible. Finally at home Aurelia kept working on a doll she had been making. School should be back tomorrow and am really looking forward to yoga!
