The Garden is revamped.


Last Saturday (19/3/11) We began the task of cleaning up our Vegetable patch.  The best way to start it was to just dive in there.  S o we did. The day took us half way, the ground relatively soft and the pulling of weeds easier due to the discovered weed mat underneath.

    I'm really excited about gardening this year. i have tried everything including gardening by the moon but with no luck. Now Lucy's new little best friend's mum is a horticulturalist. I mean a regular 'google' brain for all things plant. She will be my mentor and hopefully this year I will be able to grow more than pumpkin & amaranth. As fro the heavy lifting and developing muscles the jury is still out on that one. Glad to hear it's working for you though.

"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!!!!

Monday Night Fun

For those in the same faith as our family - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you would be familiar with Family Home Evening. We have ours most times on a Monday evening. Last night we decided to go into the local school and play netball and on the play gyms that are there. It was a lot of fun. I think I surprised Teancum at how good I was at shooting into the Netball goal. Even Renata, Hikawera and Rakaipaka had a go. There are 2 play gyms at the school. One smaller one at the front of the school for the younger children and one really big one at the back in front of the school pool. This one is really high. If you look at the photo with Teancum in it and note that he is about 2 inches off being taller than me, you will get an idea of how tall this is. The slide is perfect for speed!! (and you know ours LOVE speed). To make it that much more exciting they decided to sit on their shirts and slide down. Needless to say they had a ball....        ...
