And the 7yo is soooo gonna get me out in Whamaggedon… my partner insists on playing Christmas music when setting up the tree.

The 7yo keeps requesting Last Christmas 😂

He had sooooooo much stuff like that

That was Pops!

Oh that sucks! Hope it hasn’t caused too much damage

Luckily the power came back a little later on

We have a power cut too!

I did find the answer too: paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/D...

Although this newspaper wasn’t on Papers Past at the time 😅

Found her in the electoral roll too, so was able to work out her first name (of course because this is an article from the 1940s, the T initial was her husband’s).

I feel targeted that he points out about National Library having a subject term for Pie Competitions…

I mean, one of my absolute favourite enquiries I assisted with was finding out who won this apple pie competition: digitalnz.org/records/2233...

That sounds like a perfect way to de-stress. It’s tough when you a tired and struggling with other people.

Whenever I have gotten to the point that I yelled at my 7yo, I always make sure after it all that I hug him and tell him how much I love him. I hope he remembers that more than the yelling ❤️

We store card games, cables for charging things, and colouring books and pencils in ours 😂

And our China Cabinet? That’s filled with mostly Lego 😂

That’s what our sideboard is like too!

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for that ❤️

And I am glad that school is still going ok! No chats, emails or phone calls about his behaviour at all this term so far. First time that’s happened since he started school. That’s a huge relief to me
