week 279 / week 151

It’s been a slow week for photo-taking, but we managed to take a few. The kids had a chance to play a little violin for the first time. 

Huff took to it like a duck to water.

Puff was a bit more self-confident, but needed to work a little harder to figure it out.

We spent Saturday afternoon having lunch at a friends house: the kids spent much of the weekend playing with screens.

It’s been a week of trying to give them a lot of access to screens, in the hope that they end up better able to regulate their own use of the screens. So far we haven’t seen much success with it – we’re seeing the downsides of their behaviour with too much access to screens, without much of the benefit. Behold: dinner with screens – a late finish, and the kids too hyped up to go to sleep readily.

That’s about it for the week. It was good to be back at church again after a couple of weeks travelling, and the kids enjoyed having some time running around. After church, we went out to lunch with friends and watched the kids run around for a long while. Puff has also been getting back into playing some games on the Wii – he was keen to show off some exercises he’s learned from Wii Fit.
