week 486 / week 358

A day late this week as we were away for a couple of nights with Uncle J and Aunty C and Grandragon. Rest, walking, swimming, meals, rest. It was a good break. Or “vay-kay” as Huff was calling it. Because she likes to use the short version of things.

Dad continues working on a jigsaw puzzle he received for Christmas: Puff and Huff have each tried to help with it, with varying levels of success.

The kids worked together to help pack away the Christmas tree. We’ve come a long way from needing to chase toddler-Huff away from the ornaments!

After some time spent tidying the house, we ended up at a Thai restaurant for a very late lunch, where – as a treat – the kids had drinking coconuts. This was about the level of enthusiasm we saw for the coconuts; we probably won’t get them again, as they like the drink, but not the rest of the coconut.

We also managed to watch the excellent Paddington 2 with Grandma.

Oh, and at Puff’s nervous insistence that school would be back in a few short weeks, we went to Officeworks to buy back-to-school items, and they had free face-painting! Huff couldn’t resist, and so was a butterfly for the rest of the day.
