It’s been a sad week. On Thursday, in the middle of the school day, Puff’s bird (Twitter) suddenly took ill, and didn’t live to see the evening. We went to Bunnings and bought a pot, some plants and some soil, and the bird is now buried in our backyard. The kids were very sad and are still trying to stabilise their emotions now and again. He was a good bird, and will be missed.
Other things in the week were more enjoyable.
Puff’s school had a colour run, so Puff had his first colour run. He wanted to be covered in colour, and he was pretty close to having is wish.
Huff lost another two teeth. Puff lost a tooth.
On the weekend, Dad and Puff had a weekend away camping. Dad did more study, and then they spent some time together over meals. Puff did his first cave, and his first abseil.
And then Puff had a night of laser siege to which Huff could go. Here they are playing air hockey in between games.
It’s the middle of a very busy two weeks for Dad, and the trade-off between spending time in meetings, and being able to see the kids and spend time with them.
