Blessings in bundles!


Our family has been looking forward and preparing to someday have chickens on our farm. The thought of fresh organic eggs is mouthwatering!
One Saturday we all put together and made the chicken coupe out of  materials found on the farm. 

That very next day in our new Branch, a Brother offered us a hen and her 9 chicks. For FREE!! Talk about count your blessings!! It was going to cost me $20 each to buy them. The only condition from his wife, bless her, was that we take the rooster too. Done deal.
The following Friday we picked up the rooster. Saturday we collected the hen and chicks. (somehow we left one behind but that chick is doing very well for itself  than you for asking!!)  Renata has happily accepted the assignment of looking after our new family editions! Now, every day we do indeed count our many blessings!!!!

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.
