KFC burgers and brothers

Through the last month or so, we have been able to go to a few RWC games. One particular Friday, Arama and I had tickets to the Hamilton Game. AB's vs Japan. So, we packed up the kids and took them for a 'road trip' south to Hamilton.
While we were waiting for Arama to come out of work funny things happened in our car. Teancum let us know that KFC had $2 burgers (the big burgers) so we thought for  a treat we would pick some up for dinner on the way through. Being the clever mum I am (not) I bought the older ones burgers and the younger ones chicken and chips.. (i learnt better next time to get all the same!!) The kids were so excited to be getting KFC that I couldn't even hear the server talking to me..... yes it has been that long!!

Anyway the fun began when we were sitting out side head office. I must say it is great to see my kids joke around together as apposed to the itchy scratchy we often get. Everyone was eating and Nauvoo asked her brother if she could have some of his burger. Kawea looked at the burger and said, wait - then he proceeded to lick the whole burger bun and then pass it to Nauvoo hoping she would be turned off...



Surprisingly to me and her brother, she paused and then said, ok .. and started to reach for the burger. Well that had us in fits of laughter.

 Earlier that day, Nauvoo and I took some girl time and straightened her hair, If you know my daughter, she would love 2 things that are not likely to happen.... 1 have a sister and 2 have straight hair!! bless her!!

Anyway this was the second muse of the day for our boys.. They were fascinated with her long straight hair, they kept touching it, looking and making comments to her. I tell you my daughter is sooo going to be able to handle the boys out there growing up, if she can survive her brothers, she can survive anything.....I am just glad she was in a great mood that day...





As straight as it will go, as soon as the air gets in there,
it starts to bounce....

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
I LOVE the movie 'Tangled'. It is such a fun movie and suits my humor to a 'T'. I watched it the other weekend with my kids, and have at times been reminded of that funny song " I've got a Dream". Yes you know the one. Anyway one day I was miraculously sitting in the car by my self. (The miraculous thing was that I was by myself, how often does that happen...) So I thought about what MY dreams are, not the kids not my darling husbands but MY dream. I was reminded the ultimate dream for me would be to be able to sing all day every day. Write music (that people would actually LOVE and not just say so to be polite) To be able to sing all day for a living... for LIFE! That is my dream. Dream on right?! Well I also reminded too that you have to make your own dreams come true. Life is not a movie... well at least for me anyway... we need to have our dreams and then go about making those dreams come true. Where possible ofcourse, I don't think the dream of

The lost Necklace - by Nauvoo Puriri

Nauvoo and Hikawera had student led conferences last week. It was great to see their progress in class. I love how each child has a set of goals they knowingly must work towards. When they achieve this goal they work on another goal. Hikawera is a bit of a dark horse... full of surprises. He does really well in class and he is achieving great results. He has been at school since June 7th and one of his goals is to know 50 sight words by the end of this term. He already knows 21 words (tested him on monday of this week). It is such a rewarding feeling watching him write and spell correctly these words. I was sooo impressed. (needless to say with the amount of praises I gave him because I was so impressed will keep him wanting to succeed I am sure!) Nauvoo's teacher loves to describe her as a "little sponge". She soaks everything in and retains it. Nauvoo also has goals to which one of them with her spelling was to move up to the next set, which this week she excitedly ca
