week 303 / week 175

The school holidays are over already! Dad spend some time on the eve of school going back talking Puff through the upsides and downsides of holidays being finished – turns out it’s mostly the screens he will be missing, and sure enough he had a great first day back.

But first, thinking back through the week. Huff and Puff came to visit Dad at work (and wanted to do some drawing on the computer).

They even caught the train in to work with Dad one morning – here they are waiting patiently for coffee (or at least hot chocolate).

From there, it was a visit to the Powerhouse Museum. Dad had a long lunch (and then stayed back at work), and folded some paper with them. In the meantime, they explored the Wiggles exhibition.

Puff had a great time climbing on the play equipment.

On Friday, Dad took the day off to take care of the kids while Mum had a doctor and dentist appointment. The morning was spent walking the Como bridge. The kids did a great job walking about 3km, and had fun playing on the play equipment in between. This is the trip back: they were a bit tired (should have listened to Dad as to when it was time to go, but it’s hard to turn down a playground).

We had different meals with different people: W, G and J, C, J and E, and Grandragon. There was lots of time playing screens: Tengami, Leo’s Fortune, Two Dots, and more.

Even Huff is interested in watching Puff play the occasional game, putting down her own screen for a while.

Oh, and Huff has started experimenting with pulling faces.

Next week will be one of adjusting to being back at school: there was already a lot of homework to do just from the first night back!
