It's holiday time again for our house, that means sleeping in past 6am and being allowed to stay up late. The kids are loving it.
This morning, Hikawera came in where I was reading and shot me with the water gun, then Nauvoo surfaced from under the blankets in which she was reading with a torch.

By 9am we are usually out and about if the weather is good. This day Arama, Renata and Rakaipaka were up the drive knocking out the big humps that the rain has made,
Kawea and Nauvoo were weeding the vege garden

| They had so much fun together, these 2 are really getting on well at the moment! |
and then Hikawera and I were clearing gorse. Arama came down later and helped me. It was a productive morning followed by their usual fun.
When we were finished for the day, our 10 pear trees were enjoying the first rays of warmth from the sun in about 4 years. It was such a satisfying feeling.

| Before we started you could barely see the house from this spot. Pear trees are on the right side, the 'mountain' on the left is what is left of the gorse from that area. |

where has Nauvoo's baby face gone. She is looking more grown up everyday! Happy holidays guys. Ours ended 2 weeks ago but Jess is still home sick and Lucy has only gone the last 3 days. We have a bad virus going around town. I love having them home on the holiday. No schedule to keep, just planning the days by the weather.
