We were doing some Christmas shopping this weekend; the kids weren’t quite sure what they wold need to buy for their end-of-year parties. Huff was keen for a cake-sized donut, but we ended up passing. Yes, that’s her “how do I persuade Mum” face.
After shopping, we were mugging for the camera. Puff wasn’t so keen about being in a photo, so he tried to outwit Dad, unsuccessfully in this instance.
Wednesday night we had a chance to see one of Dad’s friends from work (Steve), and then Friday night we had dinner with N & J, who were visiting from Switzerland!
Heading toward the last day of school, it’s mufti days, inflatable castles, and big smiles. Plus perhaps some concerns about next steps (and some dramas around a giant origami project, where Mum and Dad were both helping tape together 5×5 pieces of paper, which ended up being too heavy for the desired project; oh well).
Dad plated up dinner tonight, to line up with Huff’s plate design. She was exceedingly happy.
Oh, and this is as good a time as any to reflect back on the Sunday morning walks to church with Puff. He generally asks on a Saturday if there’s time to walk to church. While we’re walking, he can talk to me about whatever is on his mind.
It’s a good tradition to keep up (plus some exercise for both of us).
