Just got home today. It’s nice to be back after some time away. Although the chaos does give me a bit of a headache. I guess there’s always chaos before a rebuild.

I asked the boys what was their top 3 favourite things of their week-long violin residential camp.

Baby F said he has 4 things he likes: “1) The swimming pool, 2) The Art Centre, I have two things I like equally, so both are number 3! The breakfast, and the tennis.”

Big Boy O said that his top 4 things are: “1) The swimming pool, 2) The breakfast, 3) The talks, 4) The concerts”

Really?? Swimming pool and breakfast??!! I might as well just spend the week in CentreParcs! At least Big Boy O liked some violin-related activities, albeit not the actual lessons!

When I asked them what they liked least, or would change about the week, Baby F said: “Mama treats me like poop” (so not true!!), and Big Boy O said: “My brother stops trying to punish me” – It was hilarious, Baby F would often shout out in his big voice: “Punish him Mama! You have to punish him!!” And his voice carries quite far. While the other adults are rather amused, I am slightly embarrassed. But it is kind of funny.
