I got the kidlets off to school and on returning home I decided to take an early morning walk in the garden........ the kitty-cats followed suit.

WizzKid's Grade 7 Science Expo

We actually had alot of fun experimenting with different veggies and fruits to find out which one produces the highest voltage and amperage. We found out that 2 lemons and 1 potato fire up a small calculator and 3 lemons make a buzzer buzz! In his presentation WizzKid had to include a flip file with the Scientific Method. His focus question was "How do the power outputs of different fruits and veggies compare?" And the conclusion was."Out of the four vegetables and fruits the potato produced the highest voltage. However, the lemon produced the most amperage."

This pic shows his jubilation at completeing the Science Expo Presentation & Interview. Yip, they had outside judges come in and ask them questions on their topic. WizzKid decided to end his Project with ...... "God created the first battery when he created vegetables . GOD IS GREAT!"

HAUNTED HIGH ....... WizzKid's first book!

WizzKid had to write a book for school. He chose to write a grade 6-7 book because he knew he wouldn't have to do too many illustrations! (He does not have one artistic bone in his body!!!) He was very relieved to hear, that he could employ any one to be his illustrator and publisher. I was delighted to get the job. Just up my alley!










Yip, it was alot of work! The night before he had to hand it in we were up till midnight putting it all together....... but we were so pleased with the final result! His story is brilliant! He writes the most beautifully poetry and short stories!

A cool 10 .......

CoolDude turned ten yesterday!

He did not want to go out for dinner but asked to have a picnic on the lounge floor. We watched SIX with Steven Baldwin and THE CROSS AND THE SWITCH BLADE. This morning he told me it was the best birthday he's ever had.

!!! Happy 10th Birthday !!!

I love you my special boy!

Tanzi's Birthday Treat!

It was TanziPanzi's 4Th Birthday on Saturday. We asked her what she would like to do, and she said she wanted to go to the 'A-CARE-LIAM'(Aquarium). So that's where we went! Afterwards we went to Moyo, an African Restaurant on the Durban beach front. The waitress washed our hands, and painted our faces before we ordered food! I decided on an authentic South African meal called a Bunny Chow! The name was coined by the local Indian community in our country, and it consists of a mild curry(chicken, samp and beans or mutton) placed inside a quarter loaf of bread(or huge bread roll!)











The 'Bunny Chow' was absolutely delish!...... NB !! it must be eaten with your hands, no utensils allowed!!

Just let me at him!!!

We have tried 'turning the other cheek' and reasoning with the lil' blighter but still CoolDude is being bullied by an older boy!
Today the bully was harassing a girl in CoolDude's class so CoolDude told him to leave her alone. With which the bully replied "You're a stupid Ass!" Cooldude then retorted with "No I'm not.... the person who thinks that is one!" When CoolDude was consoling the crying girl, the bully came up to him and said "I'm gonna kill you, just watch out!"

And this is a private christian school....... frightening! I would like to meet this bully in a dark alley and read him his rights! Roll on homeschooling!

Compassionate CoolDude.

At Cooldude's school there is a little girl in Grade 1 who has been diagnosed with a very serious and rare condition. I'm not too sure what it's called but it is causing the one side of her body to calcify. Her parents are raising money to get her over to the US for treatment.
Cooldude asked me for a donation. I dug in my purse and pulled out all the change I could find.

CoolDude:"Mom, is this all we can give?"
Me: "We can give more, but I will have to go to the ATM."
CoolDude : "Mom...... I was thinking.... I want to give the R300.00 I've saved."
Me: " Are you sure sweetie?"
CoolDude: " Yes Mom ....... she really needs people to give alot!"
Me: "That's very kind of you CoolDude."(I continue packing lunches with a huge lump in my throat.)

I love that boy!
