Our homeschoolers love Fridays. Either they could get to swim at the pool or in last Friday’s case, we went to the King’s Park to exercise there. Then of course we explored the place a bit more. Here are photos of us getting physical!
That’s Ria wearing her white shorts. The other girl is Naomi, another homeschooler.
That’s Roi wearing green and his friend and school mate, James. Aren’t they cute?
And this is me with hubby trying so hard to get those abs (in our dreams! ha!)
Roi and pop…
Me and the hubbs…
Roi trying on that thing that gives you a nice massage at the back.
So it was one healthy Friday– and fun too, of course. See our photos riding the swan pedal boats

One of the things that really surprised me here in Thailand is that malunggay (Moringa oleifera) is not eaten but are just displayed in homes like any other ornamental plant. Well, because we miss eating malunggay, we bought it from an ornamental plant shop. Pretty soon we found our tree growing so tall, with lots of leaves!
We decided to make malunggay tea. Here’s hubby and the kids– oops! Did you notice something green on hubby’s teeth?
Yipee! We’ve collected lots!
About that “green” I said earlier, it’s actually some malunggay leaves the kids and hubby stuck on their teeth! Yep, just for FUN.
So yeah, we can always have fun anytime… even while trying to make tea! You might like to see the nutritional value of malunggay tea

Our Ria is a budding chef. She likes to bake so it’s really a shame we don’t have an oven yet. Meantime we are just experimenting on her little recipe books for kids given by my mother. We came across Banana cream pie. We had to make modifications here and there, but it turned out to be a winner!
A slice of her yummy creation…
And my proud little chef poses before we feasted!
Our version of Banana cream pie:
1. Pound 1 1/2 cups of crackers. It’s supposed to be Graham crackers but since they are not available in Thailand, we just used ordinary sweetened crackers. Mix in 1/3 cup of brown sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Make this a “base” in your pan.
2. In a bowl, mix 2 cups of ready made pancake mix. Add in 1 egg with and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Spread this mixture on the “base” that you have made earlier.
3. Spread sliced table bananas on top.
4. Put in the microwave for 6 minutes.
5. Spread whipping cream on top with chocolate syrup.
6. Chill for 10 minutes or as desired.
7. Enjoy this yummy treat!! We made another one this afternoon and it’s as yummy. Thanks to our little chef for her initiative in making this delicious dessert.
