Birthday parties

Claire has everyone wrapped around her finger! We were at Jeanette's house and she asked Jeanette to hold her. No one can tell her no!

We have move and groove class on Wednesdays. Claire loves it! She asks to go on this towel! It looks strange, but the kids enjoy it and it's something fun for us to do in the afternoon.

It is getting much more cool here now! This weekend the high was only 108! We have even been able to go to the playground in the evenings.

I promised Elise a movie night on Thursday ( which is our Friday). 

We had two birthday parties this weekend. The first one was a 'mine craft' party. Josh had to educate me on what mine craft was! The other party was helping celebrate Ellie's first birthday! It is fun to have parties on the weekend because it gives us all something to look forward to!

Elise needs a little batting practice....

We had an awesome group date night on Friday. Our playschool watched the kids for a parents night out. We took the kids in the bus to the school on the compound, and the bus took us to the restaurant. 

We ate at a Lebanese restaurant inside the Intercontinental. The food was yummy and the waiter told us we could take our abayas off! 

All of the restaurants here have curtains and partitions so the ladies can remove their headpiece to eat. I've always wanted to take my abaya off, but I've never been told it was ok. It was very freeing!!

At Ellie's party we all showed up with blue shirts! They wanted to take a picture of it. It was not planned! :)
