week 534 / week 406

Big week. We’re getting to the end of the school year, and so we are seeing the end-of-year events start to crop up. Here are the kids on the way to the carols night. It turns out that Huff – whose outfit Dad decorated with some battery-powered Christmas lights – was involved in a dance item first up, and there were some problems with the battery pack coming away, but Huff’s teacher stepped in to save the day.

On Saturday, Dad took the kids down to visit Grandragon in Wollongong. We listened to an audiobook on the way down (the Railway Children and some of the Hunting of the Snark), and stopped for some food.

After a visit, we headed back and stopped for Japanese food on the way home. Puff tried some ginger, and some wasabi, but his main course was too big, so we took some away for dinner another night.

Sunday we had Puff’s recorder recital, so while he was at rehearsal, Mum, Dad and Huff went for lunch.

Then today it was swimming lessons – Dad has finished 7am lectures for the moment, so was able to see the massive improvement in their technique.

Also today, Puff’s speech day – he received a medal for a technology competition he’d entered. We were very proud.

Mum took him out to lunch to celebrate while Dad did some more work. They had a great time together.
