Mrs Donny and the oldest Donny Junior are away at a family thing plus our nanny is on holidays so I have just done what was declared by my daughter to be the The Daddy Weekend. She had a full (written) agenda which she presented before we started. It was a challenging timeline but I think we got through it.
Inter Alia we had:
Netball
The dog park
Bike ride Not one, but two Descendants movies.
Cinema (yes I have watched a total of 3 movies aimed at 8 year old girls in 2.5 days. My brain is now mush) Shopping for good school report reward at Sanrio store.
An entire morning routine that was themed around Cinnamon Roll (the Sanrio character, not the food stuff). Reading
PS5 Nickleodeon All Stars brawl competition (she won) A fashion themed drawing competition (she won)
Top Trumps
A design a donut shop competition (she won).
Korean style fried chicken (home made)
Dinner at Carluccio’s (shaky moment when there were no bread sticks).
A daddy/daughter run (3.5k)
She also found time for a play date at the neighbour’s house. I planed to go for a proper run but had a nap instead!
Packing off youngest Asturian for a weekend trip with the family of a classmate
Tennis with Mrs A on Saturday AM followed by cooking up some pre soaked Eggy bread
Chatting tough Uni essay with middle Asturian
Swimming with Mrs A on Sunday AM
Visit to my mum to chat living will, the disaster that is the ex pat lifestyle of one of my sisters, to change settings on IPhone and explain WhatsApp again (sigh, I know, I know she’s 88 and game for even trying but I ve lost count of run through )
Exchange texts with oldest and youngest and a once over of the spending report from youngest’s card for his long weekend away :)
Sunday evening was homemade bacalao a la romana with sauce n sides
*tips cap to those still doing the hard hours of weekend school prep and Disney films

My lot are being treated to a chippy tea. Not all hero centrist dads wear capes.

I've washed all their clothes
Ironed five school shirts
And tried to get creases out of two pleated skirts
Taught my daughter to swim
Took them both to soft play
Bought my son some new clothes as he grows bigger each day
Changed 3 nappies, done two baths
Soon it'll be story time, then tidy up their crap
Iron my shirt for tomorrow
Pack both their school bags
Clean down the kitchen from our sausage and mash
Spend a week at work exhausted
And pressured, and sad
And do it all again next weekend
Because I'm their dad.

I am making an M&S two done for £12 meal for baby brother and myself (chicken Kiev, greens, triple cooked chips, and Jaffa cheesecake)
He has been asleep since 2pm after spending last night at a lady friends.
Will he be awake to enjoy dinner and board games with me?
