Sleep over fun

Being school holidays our kids have been hanging out to have a sleep over at their Cousins house. (our neighbours). Their family is always busy, so last Friday night when the invitation was extended to go over and sleep by the fire, there was no hesitation.

It was so good to see the marae style mattresses set out in front of the TV. It has been a while.



The next morning, as there was no rugby or netball due to school holidays, the kids decided to have a little fun. I have no Idea where it came from but a blow up rugby post appeared so naturally it was 'try time'. They all lined up and took turns diving through the posts for a try. Even Rakaipaka got in on the act.

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.
