TIME TO START BLOGGING AGAIN

Wow, it's been 3 years since I last blogged. BUT....... I am starting over renewed, refreshed and motivated to blog again. And I finally figured out how to get posting again from the lap top which is now my personal computer. It's a bit embarrassing to say, but for months, actually over a year, I never realised that all I had to do to access my blog was....well...ahh...sign into blogger through google, lol. Long story short, but I had a complete mind block on how to figure this blogging thing out until tonight when I finally became determined enough to figure it out. Anyway, here I am, ready to go, with a million posts already prewritten in my head.

As it's nearly midnight I'll have to make this very short and sweet (yip, still waiting for that one last load of laundry of the day to finish!) It's been a busy day, like every day!

Juliet now 6 years old goes to Pinehill Primary School (as the 3 boys did - Noah still does) and is in Year 2. This is her second year of school and she has loved being in the Kapa Haka group (Maori performance group) with her friends Paz, Jessica and Reed.

On Friday the Kapa Haka group went to a Cultural Festival and performed. Here are a couple of photos taken by my friend Anne. It was very cute during the week listening to Juliet around the house trying to sing in Maori and practice the actions. All the girls got moko's (maori tattoo's) painted on their chins and the boys had moko's down the side of their faces.

Our little white Maori girl;

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."

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.
