Puff is in farewell mode at the moment. He cut short a camp (here he is enjoying a breakfast slurpee… well, it was fruit flavoured) so he could go to his friend’s birthday party, which would be another friend’s final birthday party to attend before moving to Perth.
Here’s Puff having dinner with Dad before the party starts. He watched Despicable Me 3 with friends in one row, while Dad sat with the other parents in the row behind. Everyone was very well behaved, actually.
This week was also athletics carnival week. Mum was there for the day to watch the events. Here’s Huff in an egg-and-spoon race.
We’re well and truly into winter now, and so the kids are warming up their beds with wheat bags (aka heat bags, aka feet bags) – Huff has worked out how to adapt hers to be a set of would-be headphones.
Great quotes from the week: You didn’t come and see Mum in between events? The events must have been close together. Puff deadpan: it’s a very big field, Dad.
Puff has in fact been trying really hard in sporting things this week, putting in a huge effort in the (optional) 800m race, and swimming much faster than before in lessons. It’s good to see, or at least hear about.
Dad was also proud of Puff, for guessing the pun: what kind of insect hides in your hummus? A hum-mosquito!
