moooooo....Doat!

The field that Arama played on Last saturday was about 15 minutes from our farm. You turn off one of the side roads onto a typical country road and Vwa-la! your there. As soon as you open your door you smell that fresh country air of Cow and patts..or maybe it is just cow patts!! It took a minute but amidst the farming land was this well groomed and I must say really good Playing field.

After the game I thought I better let my 'curious george' aka Rakaipaka take a close up of what real cows look and sound like. After a few prompts a cow returned my calls to Rakai's delight. I would tell him cow, and he would respond "Doat" (goat). I found this quite amusing since he was adament that the cow was indeed a Doat. I guess that is what you get for only having a goat, chickens and dogs on our farm (for now). A great sunny day anyhow. We love the sun at the moment.... Thank you Hikawera and Kawea for taking the photo's.

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.
