KFC burgers and brothers

Through the last month or so, we have been able to go to a few RWC games. One particular Friday, Arama and I had tickets to the Hamilton Game. AB's vs Japan. So, we packed up the kids and took them for a 'road trip' south to Hamilton.
While we were waiting for Arama to come out of work funny things happened in our car. Teancum let us know that KFC had $2 burgers (the big burgers) so we thought for  a treat we would pick some up for dinner on the way through. Being the clever mum I am (not) I bought the older ones burgers and the younger ones chicken and chips.. (i learnt better next time to get all the same!!) The kids were so excited to be getting KFC that I couldn't even hear the server talking to me..... yes it has been that long!!

Anyway the fun began when we were sitting out side head office. I must say it is great to see my kids joke around together as apposed to the itchy scratchy we often get. Everyone was eating and Nauvoo asked her brother if she could have some of his burger. Kawea looked at the burger and said, wait - then he proceeded to lick the whole burger bun and then pass it to Nauvoo hoping she would be turned off...



Surprisingly to me and her brother, she paused and then said, ok .. and started to reach for the burger. Well that had us in fits of laughter.

 Earlier that day, Nauvoo and I took some girl time and straightened her hair, If you know my daughter, she would love 2 things that are not likely to happen.... 1 have a sister and 2 have straight hair!! bless her!!

Anyway this was the second muse of the day for our boys.. They were fascinated with her long straight hair, they kept touching it, looking and making comments to her. I tell you my daughter is sooo going to be able to handle the boys out there growing up, if she can survive her brothers, she can survive anything.....I am just glad she was in a great mood that day...





As straight as it will go, as soon as the air gets in there,
it starts to bounce....

teaching independance

I like to think I encourage independance in our home. Helping our kids to be confident that they can do many things on their own. making themselves something to eat is one of these things. For the older boys, I have taught how to cook, the younger ones it is making a sandwich, or whipping cream, making cordial drinks (which they are sooo much better than me now)  even mixing pancake mixture.. Since we watched the Junior Masterchef competition on TV, our kids have really enjoyed getting in there. Arama has made dinner for almost the last week and a half. It was first a trade off so he wouldn't do the dishes after but he seems to be enjoying it. I am more than happy to accomodate too as they will be able to feed themselves when they get bigger - mission etc. Hikawera has also risen to the challenge or mastering the skill of getting himself something to eat. He often hums when he does it (that means he is happy). This day, I watched him place out the 5 slices of bread and them syst

The Nastiest bug creates a war Zone

This entry has no photo's but as you read on you will see why. I did however need to be recorded for posterity!!! and to say We survived. Renata had been at school only 2 days, He went to his Last Montessori   Class on a Thursday. Friday morning Came and he began to throw up. Within the next 3 days 5 of my 6 children were down with the nastiest vomiting/diarrhea bug I have ever encountered. Arama was away on business, so I was on my own. This bug has had a reputation in our community, taking no prisoners and not missing any members of the family. Yes that bad. I was grateful Arama was away, but my big boy was due to go on his Pinacle Camp for a week with school on the Monday. I prayed that he would not get it. It was Fast Sunday the Sunday before so we both fasted he would not get sick before or ON his camp. (his first 2 days was a 2 day treck in the bush and the only way out was via rescue helecopter – not an option thanks) Just the thought of him possibly gett

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.
