Dad & the Boys Go Camping

Tony took the boys camping to a place called Tawharanui
AND....................
I got left at home ALONE for 24 hours. Like every mother, I love my children more than anything in the world, but a few hours break to take care of myself and do my own thing WAS WONDERFUL (especially after 7 weeks of school holidays). I spent the day with my friend Julia shopping at the farmers market and then having lunch at her place and watching a movie on her new flat screen TV. In the evening I went out with another friend for dessert. The next day I borrowed mums car so I could run a bunch of errands, met a friend for lunch, listened to some nice music at home and took a luxurious nap. During the day I felt like a nice cup of herbal tea and I was able to drink it 10 minutes later, instead of 3 hours later!!

The boys and I did some story writing on Monday morning about their camping experience. The campsite was right next to the beach so that is where the boys spent all their time. They love nothing more than playing in the sand & water, rock climbing and exploring tidepools.

Mummy: "Noah, what did you like about camping?"
Noah: "I liked about camping with my brothers. I slept in the tent. I jumped on the rocks. Daddy got me some lunch. He got me chicken at the park. I had some donuts when I waked up."

CAMPING BY ASHTON NIZETICH
Camping is fun to sleep in a tent. I had nightmares about a bear coming in our tent. I went to the beach and I found a stick. I got all dirty and I drunk some soda. I saw Hayden go to the toilet in the ocean!

CAMPING BY HAYDEN NIZETICH
When I went camping I made a friend called Christopher and he let me ride his bike. I rode his bike around the whole campground. I helped put the tent up. Then we went for a walk and a swim on the beach. The waves were really rough and came crashing down on me. I had chips and a hamburger for dinner. All I had on my burger was a piece of meat and ketchup but Daddy got lettuce and tomato.

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.

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.
--Alan Marshall Beck
