Is it Fall or Spring? I'm confused..

Raining and more raining, this week it feels more like it is fall then spring here... It's colder again, windy and of course rain every day. But the kids seem to like it, there are many puddles to splash in. One was so deep that when Lauchlan jumped in it he fell over, many thanks to the creator of wet weather gear! We spend most of our days inside playing and baking. We made some gingerbread man yesterday with purple, pink and green frosting and Sacha have this board game with "My little pony's" called trouble (fia med knuff) that she loves to play, she is good, but also a good cheater...

We have many of the "feral" horses in training at the moment. They have all been out in the fields eating and just building muscles of their own walking the hilly fields. The ones we are working with right now is looking so much better now! What a change from this skinny horses without muscles to the horses they are now. Some of them have been ridden before, but we need to start all over with sadel and bridle training to gain their trust. I helped with one of the horses by sitting in the sadel while Ashely just walked around with the horse and me.

In school Sacha is training her writing and reading and she really likes it! the reading is still a little hard so we are working on that at home too. But she gives up a little to easy at home when she is trying to read after me.

Yesterday a very talented guy that make music instrument out of almost everything, and plays on them. He showed us some of them, everything from nose flute, snail shells and whales tooth to big instruments made of rocks and tree. All of them is native instruments and I wished that I could remember all of the Maori names, but I don't. But two of them was Pukaea, a wooden trumpet and Putatara a conch shell trumpet. We all got to make our own Putangitangi made out of clay. It's kind of the same instrument as the swedish "Lerduva". We also had to come up with a design to put on our Putangitangi and a story behind our design. I chose to design mine as the world, because I had to travel across the world to come here. It will be interesting to see on monday if I can play on it..!
