Chainsaw Magic


The great thing about being on a rural farm with boys is that they get to try their hands at so many different things. 

We had firewood to chop up, these long pine trees that needed to be cut into rounds then split. My big boy Arama, has fine tuned his skills at using the chainsaw. Since he is stronger than me I don't have a problem with this.

As he was cutting he called me over to show me something he had done…..





How cool is this! Don't you just love it! (not bad for a 15 year old!!)

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.

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.
