Once our drama was over and we were on our way to drop off the primary kid to school (which they were even in time for) I mused over the conversations in the back seat of the car. Hikawera and Renata were singing “Baby” by Justin Beiber. I enjoy hearing the kids sing and tent to pay more attention to them being able to sing the song in tune, and am often impressed how well they do. This morning I laughed as Renata would exclaim to his brother, “No, that’s not how it goes”, refering to the words he was singing. Hikawera was not sure of the words so he sang some sounds that sounded something like what the words could be… Renata then said, “it goes like this”, and began to sing his version of what he thought the words were – which was another version of sounds that sounded something like what the words could be – Hikawera then defended his verison by quoting his brother, “No, that’s not how it goes”. I am grateful the were able to agree on some of the words. They are: “Baby, Baby, Baby Oh, like Baby, baby, baby no, like Baby Baby baby oh,…….(and that is when it turns to custard!!)

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...
