These little boys lood adorable in their kandoras! Can't wait until Cole gets one!
Caralyn...practicing pole dancing...yikes...this was a trampoline but the netting broke and so they use this as monkey bars. Cole thinks he can climb the side bars...
So we've learned to ride bikes...and we're getting REALLY good at tying our shoes! We practice after school every day before we go outside!
Desperate times call for desperate measures...When they can't wait and neither one wants to compromise and go to another restroom, they somehow come to this agreement.
FINALLY!!! They got their iPads from school. There are still some issues of when they can bring them home, and when they can't. There are lots of parent complaints from kids who bring them home and don't know how to use them, or they get broken. Cole and Caralyn had lots of practice from Grandma's iPad - they are a pro! And Ms. Sarah said Cole is the helper on how to use them! And Caralyn reminds us to charge them..."uh...Daddy..did you charge my iPad?"
UAE - the 40th National Day! Schools are busy getting decorations up and kids are invovled too! Jennifer's kids colored an I LOVE UAE thing for the door. This week we bought some UAE things for the kids to wear. Pics to come later!
This weekend we also had a birthday party! Sarah (from Georgia) turned 10 and there were quite a few kids there! They had hot dogs, cookie cake, and played games and ran around like animals!
Mrs. Field's in the UAE! Really!
Flies...It's like the invasion of the flies! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Guess they are better than some west nile moquitoes!
Christmas - decorations readily available! One of the home stores (where we bought all of our furniture at) has tons of Christmas home decor!
Saw this interesting car...not sure what it is...but we saw the small American flag on it!
Al Jimi Mall - I love these tower things...
We bought Caralyn one of these Tasha (or I think it's also called a Mustasha). Several of Jennifer's girls have been wearing them for the National Day festivities. These are a big deal in Emirati weddings.
You know how people complain about how the wind turbines give the landscape a bad look? Well this cell phone tower - check it out! A date palm! I thought it was pretty creative! Love it!
Any guess at what this is?
It's our countdown to when we come back home for Christmas!
From today...27 rings left!
