Three weeks have passed by with minimum fanfare; life continues on with walking the dog, kids going to school; there are parties, and church attendance. New was having two lots of high school parent-teacher evenings in successive days – good to get a picture of how the kids (and the schools) are going, and my entrepreneurial mind sees missed opportunities for the P&C to be selling snacks to parents and teachers alike.
But mostly it’s keeping the kids’ spirits up: Puff is heading to another trial maths exam soon, Huff has a mix of homework and assignments, and we keep trying to build them up in confidence.
Dad took Huff and Puff to see the Barbie movie – it was curious that they were both interested in it, for different reasons, and both found it funny. Dad felt vindicated in having showed them excerpts of the classic movie 2001 a space odyssey, which enhanced their understanding of the opening scene.
And then Dad was away for four days travelling for work, so we stopped to have lunch together on the Saturday once he was back. Huff was pleased to discover these birds at the cafe.
And Mum and Puff were similarly glad to see Dad again.
