Danielle's 7th Birthday
Hi again all my faithful followers!
Sorry i haven't posted in AGES, I have added a couple of subjects to my curriculum, and have gotten behind, so i'm working really hard (or supposed to be!) to catch up a bit!
Danielle's birthday was on February 19th.
I organised a princess dress-up party for her.
They all watched as Danielle opened each of her presents!
I had also organised for them to make some cards, which they all really enjoyed; however Mum and I had much less stuff by the time they had finished! =)

Bike to Breakfast
Hi again!
Well, I can't be bothered writing anything new about Bike to Breakfast, so I'll just use an article I wrote for the Term 2 homeschool newsletter. =)
At approximately 7am on Wednesday February 17th, a group of homeschoolers met at the Rakete’s. The group consisted of the Rakete’s (obviously)!, Aiken’s, Crummer’s, Mrs Rakete’s Mum-Jill Hall-, a couple of the Rakete’s cousins, Irene and Bernie Corbett, my brother Jarrod and me.
To look more like a ‘group’ we all wore weet-bix t-shirts.
When everyone was ready (that didn’t take to long) we organised ourselves into two groups – the ‘fast group’, and the ‘slow group’- I was in the fast group. Then we left for Manukau City.
We rode around the car park while waiting for the ‘slow group.’ When they FINALLY(!!) arrived we all headed for the lawn by the ANZ.
There were very few people there, so we had plenty of room for throwing Frisbees (or hitting people with them because they didn’t really work as Frisbees!), using the ‘slap bracelets’ – orange reflective strip on top, black fabric on back, they’re about 40cm long, and look kinda like rulers. You hold them out straight, then hit someone (fairly hard) on the arm, and it wraps around them.
They had a sausage sizzle, hash browns, Nutri-grain, Weetbix, heaps of other cereals, tinned peaches, juice, milo, tea & coffee, and probably heaps more that I have forgotten!
We all (or most of us teens anyway!) thought their choice of music was .. hmm...interesting? They played Amazing Grace, and Silent Night!
Well anyway, we talked for a while, and did the afore-said activities!
We then took some photo’s and left.
My brother and I had to bike home from the Rakete’s, and we got absolutely SATURATED!!!
However, despite the rain, it was an experience that I believe was greatly enjoyed by all.
Ok, well I think I got those names correct! Hope I did...
CYA,
Bee

Communion weekend at church
Hey!
Sorry I haven't posted in AGES, we had no internet for a while (my guinea pig ate through one of the cords!), and then it decided to stop working completely - ie. we'd push the button to turn it on but nothing would happen. But now it's working again, so I'm gonna post. =)
Well, twice a year our church has what they call 'communion,' and people from all over NZ, and some from overseas come for it.
All my Mum's uncles and auntys come as well, and that is about the only time we see them.
So we had Mum's Uncle Joh (short for Johannes), and Aunty Jean over for dinner one night.

Neither pic is very good, but since at leaset one person is missing in each, I'll give you both.
Kinda a short post, but it's a start anyway...
bye!
