Rabbits

There's a story about a farmer who one day happened to see a rabbit accidentally knock itself out by running into a tree.  The farmer picked up the rabbit and had it for dinner.

After that, the farmer sat next to the tree hoping another rabbit would come along and also knock itself out.  It never happened again, and the farmer's fields were left untended.

Whenever we're lucky enough to win something, we call it a rabbit.

We've had a couple of rabbits lately.

We have a family membership at our local YMCA gym, and last month they had spin-the-wheel style prizes if we used the gym ten times in the month.  All four of us got our ten.  I won one month free gym membership (wow, with our family membership that's over $160!).  Miya won a 15-minute massage (she was not impressed; I bought it from her for $10).  Mulan won a plastic coffee cup.  And Mama won a bottle of water (haha!).

Mama said they are continuing the same prize offer this month.  We'll see if we can win something else.

Miya won our other rabbit.

Over summer, Mulan and Miya did the Auckland Library summer reading challenge.  There were various reading categories, and whenever they read a book from that category they submitted it online.  Both girls completed almost all of the categories on offer.

Miya was lucky, and won a book in the draw for those who completed more than five categories.
