Another big week. The kids for finally starting to feel better, so we started to leave the house a bit more.
Wednesday was a trip to the north side to visit some chickens, and some friends. Puff played his first game of Lego Star Wars, which is likely to be an ongoing passion. Huff kept asking permission at every step of the way – there was cake to be eaten, and she would ask “if it’s okay with you” for every tiny piece.
On the weekend, it was back to reading sticker books and listening to giant shells on our way down to the first of Puff’s 5-day birthday marathon. He was very excited to spread his birthday out this far.
Huff also managed to try and make pom-poms, though she lost interest a little while after the photo was taken.
After a quick visit south to see baby E, we settled down on the couch for dinner and some Octonaut watching.
On Sunday, Puff wanted to take a birthday cake to church, so he and Huff decorated one. Huff had some bigger challenges, learning important lessons like “don’t eat the toppings from the cake you’re decorating”.
Grandma made a cake for him too, though it had his name on it so there’s no photo here. Grandragon made him a cake based on his favourite iPad game at the moment – Sprinkle. He was pretty happy with it, and his preschool friends were happy to share it.
Puff’s family members were very generous to him, and he was very grateful for all his presents, but his favourite was probably this duckling costume.
It escalated the next day, and they were both ducks.
Thanks for everyone who wished him a happy birthday – it’s hard to believe it’s been five years! Here’s the family.
happy birthday puff!
