Sleepover and Beach Fun!

Elise had been begging us to do a big sleepover with her and her friends. Josh set up the tent in true Eagle Scout style! He made sure everything was perfect. 

Claire also had her first sleepover at Savannah's house! I can't believe she made it the whole night without needing mommy!

The girls each made their own pizzas. 

We made yummy cookies!

Girls are so much fun!

Jeanette had to try on some jeans before her vacation. In Saudi Arabia there are no dressing rooms and the return policy is horrible! She had to find some jeans fast! So, we formed a  human chain around her so she could sneakily try on her clothes. 

Some pictures from Claire's first sleepover

Our monthly coffee morning

I was bus monitor last week and Claire was falling asleep on my lap.

We are so excited that our beef is from the USA now! This just happened a few weeks ago. We have been getting tired of eating the Brazilian and Canadian beef. 

This week was the first week the weather got down to the 80's! We had breakfast outside on the patio to celebrate the beautiful change.

Elise wanted to bring me breakfast in bed, she had a little help from Daddy. 

Mr. Yasser with all the girls!

This is probably my favorite school project yet! The art teacher had all of the kids dress up as Frida Khalo. Claire was not amused at all!

End of Pre-K and Josh's birthday

I can't believe that Elise finished her pre k year and in Saudi Arabia, no less!! 

She had an amazing teacher and I'm so proud of how she has grown this year.

Yes, she's wearing lipstick in these pictures...I pick my battles! 😂😂

That night, we celebrated Josh's birthday! Claire loves singing, "hoppy birttttdddaaayy"

Donuts and KK

Elise had been looking forward to donuts with dads ever since it was put on the calendar! Josh was equally excited when he saw the Krispy Kreme donut box. I was happy he snapped some pictures for me.

Elise was very excited that Kk came to the Middle East this week. She couldn't wait to see what was in her bag. 

Kk and her good friend and my parents went to Dubai for a week and Josh and I met them in Bahrain for a short weekend getaway. It was a lot of fun to see Kristin! 

Elise was so excited to make her own pizza at one of the restaurants. 

Claire did great this weekend, but it's so funny, whenever we are in a hotel room she always wakes up just one hour too early, but will fall back asleep next to us! So...no we don't let us sleep with us! This was just taken in one of those early morning wake ups.

Elise really wanted to go to the pool. Luckily the pool was heated, as it is still somewhat chilly here at times!

Love their matching expressions...
