Who loves Homework?

Who loves homework? our family does!!!

It was Hikawera's first day of ALL day school. You would think that I would not be so nervous about it but I was. There was a moment when I held my breath as he asked me if I was going to help him with his work, until the teacher saved the day and scooted him next to her. Thank you!!

It was also Hikawera's first day on the school bus. Now he is an old had on buses as he used to catch it with his siblings in Fiji but it is a new routine. He ran to his sisters classroom after school to find her of course she wasnt there, once found he was then was reminded where he needed to wait and she would be there with him.



Nauvoo was happy to report that He fell asleep on the bus and used her lap as a pillow. When Hikawera was reporting back on his bus trip he was happy to tell us the bus seats were really warm!! (that means alot in winter here)


Homework time..... I was really pleased he brought home homework, so Hikawera and Nauvoo sat at the table doing their reading, spelling and math. Isn't it great that they love homework right now... if only my 2 big boys kept the same enthusiasm. (with that note though Arama Teancum was moved to the top math class yesterday so we are very proud of him!!)

Hikawera reading 'I am'

Writing his first spelling words out

Nauvoo also writing her spelling words out.


They were so happy doing their homework that Renata soon left his world of cardboard box cars and joined the 'party'.


The cardboard box cars. Notice the masking tape!!

Renata writing his letter 'r'. Hikawera also insisted on
teaching him how to write the letter 't'. So cute!!

Don't you love a good day!!

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. 

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys. 

Hakarimata's again!

Yes, we did it! We climbed the Hakarimata's again. Still hard, still so rewarding!!
