Noah's Poxie!

Me & Tony after church last Sunday;

Tony with Noah (2 1/2 yrs);

A nice photo of Tony on his own;

I haven't lost interest in my blog, it's simply that I can never get to the computer. Tony has been out of work for a month now and hence on the computer all the time looking for jobs. He has his FIRST interview this Tuesday...FINGERS CROSSED it goes well. He's applied for so many jobs and this is the first 'positive' response.

Life has been extra busy having Tony home the past few weeks and Hayden on school holidays....right now I can't recall at all what we've been up to. Simply surviving all that has been going on has been a mission in itself!

We were very sad to say goodbye to our second student, Hitomi, this week. She was the loveliest, sweetest, girl and the boys loved her even more than Miyuki. She gave them continuous piggy backs, adored everything they did, never seemed bothered by all the noise they made and was soooo helpful to me; picking up toys, dressing the kids, cleaning up the kitchen etc. She loved cuddling Noah and Ashton on the couch, and she even went to church with us every Sunday! She always called Tony "Daddy" and me "Mummy" even though she knew our names. We're not sure why she left us because she didn't seem very happy about going, but we have a little bit of hope that she might come back to us. Our house has felt empty the past couple of days without her. Of course the timing of her leaving has been really bad because we so badly needed the income as well, but as they say; when it rains, it pours!

Noah got the chicken pox this past week, but fortunately it's been a fairly mild dose. Strangely his private parts and back got the majority of the spots, but only 5days later and they are almost all gone. We are just sitting tight waiting to see if Hayden and Ashton get them as niether of them have had it before. Many Kiwi's have a very relaxed attitude of 'whatever will be will be' and I certainly got that attitude towards exposing Noah to other children. I still choose to take Noah out and about this week (since he has been his normal self 100 percent-happy, playing, eating, sleeping) and when I would warn parents not to let their child get close to Noah, no one seemed fased or bothered at all by his chicken pox, or their children being around him.

Well, seems like my time is up. Tony is now calling me to come and put Noah to bed, change his smelly nappy and do a variety of other chores that he could do for himself. I love my wonderful husband!

Funny Comments

Ashton walking into the supermarket quietly whispers to himself: "Please can I have macaroni and cheese, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Ashton: "I want to live with Jesus." Mummy: "Why?" Ashton: "Because he be nice to me and he gives me bread and water!"

Mummy, examining Ashton's legs, and thinking: My goodness, what hairy legs. Ashton, unimpressed with Mummy's examination, pulls away: "Don't touch them. I'm growing Daddy legs!"

Hayden gets upset at Ashton: "Right Ashton, that's it! I'm telling Jesus on you!"

Ashton with a cold: "I'm snotty as a piggy."

Hayden: "The sun is burning my eyeballs."

Hayden: "Mummy, how come your penis is missing?"

Hayden: "I get the bigger piece of cake because my skeleton is bigger."

Hayden (3yrs old) sees me get dressed in the morning and stares at my breasts with a confused look..."What thooooose be for???"

Hayden: "I don't want to finish my pizza, it's got blood all over it."

Hayden: "Ashton hit me in the heart."

Hayden learns the planets at Preschool: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Penus!

Hayden (shopping with me and whining): "My brain hurts forever because you haven't buyed me anything."

QUOTES

Like the changing leaves of fall...My little boy is now a man.
--Author Unknown

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!
--Author Unknown

There never has been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a son.
--Author Unknown

Boys are found everywhere - on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
