Kapa Haka Festival was great....

On Wed 15th? I think yip of september the TNT(Taupo Nui a Tia) Kapa Haka performed to raptuous applause!!!! the boys did a "Poi" stint and my son got to perform doublehand poi tricks and single handed poi tricks (he was the only one) and the crowd went wild I will have some amazing photos soon I hope of his get up he looked like a true blue Maori Owwwwww. The other boys did just single poi single hand tricks they had a ball we sold 600 hangis on first day sunny on second DAY hail rain and wind NOOOOOIIIIIIICCCEEEE! not.they are now in training for Wairakei performance A big affair, and next years Te Arawa festival!!!! BIG HUGE DEAL!!!!!

Tomorrow is my babies birthday he will be 14 yrs old!!!he is set to head to Sports Awards and its semi formal got our tickets today as he is nominated and I do hope he receives something ON HIS BIRTHDAY would be soooooo cooool he feels bummed he has to attend school at night on his birthday but the lure of food and nibbles has him leaning towards its ok !!

I don't need to speak of the FOUL WEATHER!!! but it is cold wet windy and rainy and I am over it over it!!!! my house resembles Wing Wah's laundry 24/7 now!!!! (except today it was sunny ish!).

I got my son a mini mini speaker "Divoom" to run his MP3 off and it is the dinkiest thing he is charging it upa s I type so he can use it tomorrow on his birthday, it runs his cellphone music through the speaker and a notebook, pcp, gaming devices, ipod's so pretty darn handy!! 2 people I showed today went and bought one each I thought WOW thats pretty impressive not bad sound considering.....

He is getting music vouchers, t shirts, smellies, games, PS2 stuff and other items that I know of so far so all in all he should have a nice birthday we are having his favourite dinner spag n meatballs, and garlic bread and chocolate cake for pudding then straight off to Awards.

Labour weekend is a big event here for Karate and did I say Samuel has improved out of sight one of the senior black belts said to me a few weeks ago he is getting stronger and faster and striking harder (he bloodied the seniors face and HAD blood on Gi to show me!!! nooooiiiiiiccce!)

I hope everyone is keeping sane and ahead of their washing piles!!!!!!!

And another weekend bites the dust!

A huge week swimming,karate,kapa haka, rugby organising(wind up do), and then Friday Saturday Sunday cooking for 24 people dinnerx2, Brekkiex2,lunchx2, I made lasagne, casserole cooked sausages and french toast with bubble n squeak! and DIDI a small mountain of dishes THE KIDS help though and not alot of sleep was had.

It was cold and the practises were long and involved, but alot was achieved, and now for the polishing the boys found out they have to wear "maru" g strings under the bum flaps THAT was hilarious....

When we got home we unpacked the CAR from blankets, clothes mattresses and food, AND did 2 loads washing, I had a karate meeting to attend then I came home and vaccummed cleaned bathroom toilet and kitchen Samuel vaccumed) we then fell down into chairs exhausted (cornbeef in crockpot) had mashed potatoe and pumpkin and veges!
