2012 KKK School Cross Country


I LOVE our KKK school Cross country! It is the true meaning of Cross country. This year our kids were more prepared with what it was all about (ISS didn’t have cross country events). Kawea led his race only to be beaten in the last 100m to come second. Nauvoo came 8th, and Hikawera came 2nd!. Kawea went on to go to the district trials and came in the top 8. He was  supposed to go to regionals but has had a lot of ‘class’ time out of school with the Oliver production and was fighting off a cold so we chose not to send him along.

I love these photo’s . Here is Holly one of Nauvoo’s Netball buddies – snoozing under her book in prep of the run.

Here is Kawea running his race,

The mud trail they ran through, They literally run through the country – paddocks with cows and all.

See what I mean about the mud!

Nauvoo and her ‘inseperable’ friend Neive. So cute to see them together.




After the run, on the way home, we drove past the front of the school and saw Hik playing with his mates. It was so funny to watch. They would race around the playground and then do this HUGE pile up on the slide. Laughing histerically at each other and groaning everyime some one else joined the pile up. It was great to see him in action with his mates, we don’t get to see that very often!!

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

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

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.
