Daddy is 44!

Last Month we celebrated Jamil's 44th Birthday!

we went to our favorite restaurant with the kids,

and we enjoyed the food, the cake and the boys'company!  

Then we showered Jamil with the funny gifts I prepared with Ghadi the day before!

Al Fitr Eid 2013 - Day 3

On this day, Ghadi went to the movies with his cousin Labib, they watched Despickable Me2 (I So wanted to accompany them...but...)

he came back excited and didn't stop talking about the movie (and the Caramelized Popcorn!)

Afternoon we took kids to the theme park, they enjoyed it and teh best part was that it became late while we were there, so kids experienced the night lights and how it feels like to be there without day light!

 

Al Fitr 2013- Day 2

On the second Day, Ghadi went to "horsh el Eid" with his dad, that is a place where kids can play carnival games and win prizes and so...

well, he came back with two guns and a sheriff hat (not the Eid Spirit at all! I know) 

but we made fun of that..

Day one- Al Fitr 2013

More on Eid al Fitr celebrated 2 months ago!

the Eid Morning - Al Fitr 2013

I know it's been two months now but I'm getting lazy and Suddenly I found out the next Eid is in one week so I should post these photos from the August Eid celebrations before it's (like really really) late!

Phantom of the House!

Sary has got that extra habit of wearing our stuff!

he searches for my t-shirt, daddy's shorts, mommy's shoes, whatever he finds, 

he wears it, or puts it on his neck 

and hangs around proudly!

 

  

Sary is a cute little parrot now, repeating our words and sentences

he expresses himslef in his own way, which Ghadi can understand better than we do!

we often stand confused about what is Sary asking for, saying things like:

" shahobbaaaaaaattt"

"shahobaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt"

then about to cry: "SHAHOBAAATTTTTTTTTTTT"

and me like: "what do u want my dear? badda trouh buy??" -you want to go out?

then Ghadi shouts from his bedroom: 

"mommy, he wants you ta take his shoes off!!! - shala7 sobbatt"

in his free time (HA, I mean all the time evidently) Sary loves to jump

he jumps.. and jumps..on my bed, on his bed, on the sofa, on the cushions...

well, this is actually not allowed but whenever we turn our eyes he hurries and starts jumping..

I am thinking about getting him a Trampoline, a real one! but the question is: where would I put it!

till then, i will keep on holding his hands while he jumps on my pillow...yes..

one little monkey, jumping on my bed!

Grade 1 and dragon tattoo!

Last month, on the 7th of September, Ghadi went to school, as a first grader!

It's fair to say, I was way more excited than him!

 buying books,

tagging names,

preparing supplies...

 and here we are!

yes, starting now we have no school uniform!

no, it's not a nightmare,

I prepared 5 pants and 5 t-shirts, and had all that agreed by Ghadi, and now we have a dressing plan!

we also have our meal plan,

so no morning debates about "what sandwich am I having today? who says I want Labneh?"

plus, Ghadi is now allowed to take money and buy from the kiosk once a week!

and we can say, this is the GREATEST hit about being in elementary school (according to him!)

in addition to the fact that the bookcase is just under the desk (that comes next in the list of the most exciting things about CP -that is grade 1)

settled in class,

and extremely happy, cuz he and his best friends happen to be at the same section!

at the end of the day, still radiant face and happy at heart,

  don't wonder what he is trying to say here... he was reminding me to buy him a tattoo...

yes..

It's been couple days he mentioned he wanted a tattoo..that his friend at summer camp had one...and I promised him i'd get it when we start school... (yeah, just procrastinating...)

and here we are..AT SCHOOL..what are waiting for mom?

 --> that evening at home:

ehh..a Dragon!

hope this year will bring you the best my beloved.

when I saw how his friends were fighting upon the seat next to him, while another mom, persuaded the boy sitting facing him to move to another table, so that her daughter would sit facing Ghadi, 

my heart went so big and I knew...it's not because I'm his mom, no.. 

this boy is simply so sweet...
