Market Day Kaukapakapa Style

Kaukapakapa School had a market day last week. The kids had been talking about it for weeks and I honestly couldn't understand what was going to happen. I thought it would be a quiet country school childrens lunchtime sale. When I arrived It was so far from this assumption.

Complete and utter organized Chaos. I arrived fashionably late, by about 10 minutes, and alot of really good items had been snatched up. I was amazed at what was there and how quickly things were going. The stalls were set up in the classrooms so there was a bottle neck squeeze through the door then a stroll around the stalls.

Kawea's store was a hair styling and coloring store. Hik paid $1.oo to have his hair spiked up and 'styled'.



The 'shop'. It was the busiest one.








Here are some of the end results from that store.






Nauvoo had made friendship bracelets.


















Hikawera's class had made Necklaces (well his group) and he had already arranged to buy his own for $2.50 on the day!! (80% of the class had sold tickets on them before market day began!!)




A fun day for the kids.

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

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.
