Dad spent about half of this week working: the kids managed a brief visit during the week, and we saw one advantage or working in a home office: access to a trampoline! With the work week finally over, Dad headed with Uncle J to the cricket on Saturday – the first game at the SCG for any of the kids!
Mindful of the patience of little legs, we drove to the ground, and parked at a nearby high school (their P&C was charging for parking, so it was helping the school). Here they are walking the long grass with their sombreros, looking a little like hobbits.
Both our kids enjoyed the whole experience at first – there’s a lot to look at, and take in.
Eventually, though, Huff (“will there be snacks? ok, I’ll go”) soured on the experience a little, asking when it would be over, and interpreting any crowd noise as a wicket, and one step closer to being able to leave.
With inexpensive ice creams on the way home, all was forgiven, and Huff has decided she probably won’t be back, and Puff is counting down until he can go again.
The main goal of Dad’s two weeks leave is to tidy up the house, and set up the kids with separate bedrooms. There has been a lot of box moving (and hence not many photos) so far: we’ll see how we go!
