Scatter Sunshine

The weather has been fining up as of late. We have not had rain for a while, It makes me wonder if the rain has finished for winter.

I took the two youngest boys to Albany (25 min drive) to get our groceries and the day panned out to be lovely. Renata now so in love with bike riding convinced me (yes, my 3 year old convinced me) to bring his bike along. These two are almost inseperable at the moment. I stopped at a park on the way home and let him go for it. While Rakaipaka swang and played Renata zoomed around the parking lot gaining more and more confident. Excited when he was able to make little skids on the path and other little tricks.

    his cousins LOVE bike riding as well, particularly mountain biking. Can't wait for them to go riding together someday. Jess has graduated to a love of motorbike riding. Yes her dad and big brother had a lot to do with that one.

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.

Waikato Winter

I have been told it gets cold in the winter here. I remember the fog that didn't lift until lunchtime, and wearing a couple o layers of clothes when I lived here about 20 years ago, but I must say, it's way colder. I am still getting used to the grass crunching under my feet early mornings when I go to get light for our run. I keep thinking I use get the treadmill going again. Then there is the defrosting your car to drive to work. It takes me longer to  clear the ice and frost off the car than it does to drive to the office. This morning I heard the creaking sound when I opened the car door as it was starting to freeze shut. I had to take a couple of shots.    Arama's car usually a dark green.  The side of my van. The view (or lack of) from the inside of my van.  Brrrrrrr, so great fun for heat pumps and hot water bottles.

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.
