Mum’s birthday this week, but a bit low-key in its celebration. We had Chinese dinner that the kids enjoyed dressing up for, and then suddenly it was Friday night, and time for Puff’s first night as a youth group kid. It felt like a major milestone. He had a great time.
We had the kids’ cousins stay over much of the weekend. It turned out, there was no flour in the house, so our ambitions for home-made pancakes were dashed. Instead, we headed out, and the kids had a variously sugary breakfast.
The next morning we were out again for breakfast on the way to church – we even managed to arrive on time!
The kids did a great job getting through their breakfast and were well behaved.
We’re still working out a regular pattern for family dinner that has the kids going to bed at a reasonable hour during the week, and isn’t too saturated with different types of media.
