Last Saturday (19/3/11) We began the task of cleaning up our Vegetable patch. The best way to start it was to just dive in there. S o we did. The day took us half way, the ground relatively soft and the pulling of weeds easier due to the discovered weed mat underneath.
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.
I'm really excited about gardening this year. i have tried everything including gardening by the moon but with no luck. Now Lucy's new little best friend's mum is a horticulturalist. I mean a regular 'google' brain for all things plant. She will be my mentor and hopefully this year I will be able to grow more than pumpkin & amaranth. As fro the heavy lifting and developing muscles the jury is still out on that one. Glad to hear it's working for you though.
