Moon walker... My Michael Jackson!

T hurt his ankle at rugby the other week. After staying home Friday because he could not walk, and not being able to finish training on Monday, he asked to go to the doctors. I took him in first thing Tuesday morning. We are getting used to the doctors here, so my son had a bit of a laugh.. Here's why. 
T hobbled into the doctors. The doctor says "hmm no swelling but a little tender here, so I think we will do an exray." T and I look at each other and I say, "does he really need an exray? He walked in here." The doctor then proceeded to tell me that sometimes people can walk on a broken ankle - I'm guessing he means hairline fracture or something.. And he ordered the X-ray. 
X-ray was taken, and big surprise.. doctor said,"good news it's not broken" no, really (ok so pretend to be shocked!)
He then says but he needs a moon boot. I associate moon boots with broken legs so I was again questioning him about the moon boot.. He insists, disappears the nurse comes along with a fancy handsome lookin' moon boot. T was like - I'm not wearing a moon boot! - hello, the nurse says it's the "new orange" when it comes to ankle repairs. Above strapping. He was told no sports for 3 weeks. Lol. Now since my son has been so fantastic with his coverage of other moments in our family via snapchat and such I returned the favor(not with snapshot but in fine paparatsi style). 
Here is my baby's first steps in his little booty and a moment in time captured for my moon walker. Lol him to bits!

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.

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

It has returned!

Our day started as usual yesterday, 5am get up and start getting things ready for the boys. Thursday was a little different in that at 5:30am it hit! I felt like I was in labour again! but it completely immobilized me. (and if you know me that is hard to do - I think I am related to the ever ready bunny some days.lol) So strange. So, my darling wisked me off to the 24 hr A&E. After a day of tests and waiting we have found my ovarian cyst has returned... or rather a new one has grown. A humble 5cm ovarian cyst the cause of all the pain!! I guess I have been lucky for the last 14 years not to have anything BUT all is ok now. We are "watching" it and I feel good today... but glad to be in NZ for the good medical care and awesome medical insurance!!
