Sheikh'n It With The Shenkirs: November 2016

Well, Josh's part is anyway!! We had a lot to celebrate over Thanksgiving break because Josh's portion of turnaround is complete. Yay!! We are hoping to have him back to normal working hours! We had our first breakfast together as a family this weekend--it had been 3 months!

Before turnaround was over, Josh had a random Tuesday off-which we took advantage of by going to Bahrain for some drinks and food!

We went to the Senor Pacos because Josh was craving some Tex-Mex. They have great lunch specials.

Ms. Heather has been working at the school and has been snapping some pictures for me of the girls!=)

We found this "Christmas" shirt at the H &M in Saudi. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense...

Sweet girls is fighting her naps lately. So, this is how she ends up by the end of the day!

We needed to activate the girls visas one Friday so I took them to see the Trolls movie. They were really excited about it, but really sad Daddy couldn't come too.

Counting sugars at Pauls while we wait for our breakfast.

We have to leave for Bahrain at 6 AM--so by the time we get here the stores in the mall still aren't open. They usually have a fun display in the middle--their theme right now is "around the world"- the girls had fun posing for the pictures

Oh My goodness--when we walked into Pottery Barn you would have thought we were walking into Santa's wonderland. Since the kids don't really EVER go shopping with us--this was the first time they had been in A store (besides the grocery) since August --they were quite overwhelmed!!

Claire always wants to ride this ride and every time she starts crying and we have to take her off. Every.single.time.

This is one of my favorite last stops at the mall. If you want a glass of wine at the mall, you have to go to the Westin hotel. They have these areas set up with the televisions. It's great because you can get a snack for the kids and they can watch a show while you have a glass of wine/beer before the journey back to Saudi.
