JUNE in a glance

June started with the festive days of Eid El Fitr

Ghadi fasted almost the whole month and as always we woke up to the table full of delicious unhealthy treats

the time I can dedicate for decorating the house is getting less with every passing year

but I am at least trying to keep this tradition of waking up to gifts and treats

 Ghadi faking a surprised face (he chose the gift himself 15 days earlier)
and Sary was flying when he saw the Minecraft Storymode he always wished to have

My ninja preparing for the Eid Prayer with our neighbour's kids

and then heading to grandparents's houses to wish Happy Eid and get the Money- El Eidiyyeh ;)

  

 besides that, kids enjoyed a day at the Hippodrome celebrating spring

and another gathering in the mountains with my dear nephew

a bit of crazy moments at home,

 and a farewell to kids' school, hoping the new school will bring them success, joy and happy memories (crossing fingers)

Time for spring cleaning

And this time it is up to kids to choose what to keep and what to give away!
that was one long sorting session
but It was relieving to leave the decision to them, and unsurprisingly just few items were left to throw away because every single item has its own memory and its place in their lovely pure hearts ;)

Quick unexpected visit

last month my dear nephew visited us for couple days
that was one unexpected and very pleasant surprise, it's been years that kids didn't have the chance to get along with him
so time passed so quickly and experiences were exchanged (in the world of gaming of course ;)
and Sary couldn't sleep without holding his present. so sweet!

West Bekaa Country Club- 2019

Yes, again we headed to our favorite weekened retreat, the club in the Bekaa Valeey where you can see the manifestation of spring at its best!

It started with some tree climbing and fruit picking, the delicious "lawz" 

and then kids spent the day playing around non stop

 the next day started with the traditional breakfast, then we were all ready to start our trip to Ammiq  where we enjoyed an amazing hike under rain drops

 then we fed the horses, the kids had a blast1

Just before leaving the hotel they enjoyed few rounds of  biking and ATV rides 

it couldn't get better ;)

Eating Chinese!

yes! we enjoyed dinner with kids at our favourite Chinese restaurant!

there's no cuter picky eater than this one I can tell you!

 and no funnier than that:

La Nuit des Musees

Last year we had a blast at the "Night of the Museums" at Beirut
so kids didn't think twice when I asked them if they would like to do the tour last month
we started at the archaeological museum at the american university of Beirut since that we missed it last year
It was so nice and kids friendly

 then we ran to the museum at the Banque Du Liban, the most interactive museum in Lebanon
while waiting at the queue, Sary did "the face" asking me to shoot him
and when I asked why so serious, he said: Mom, all faces on money look so serious

I couldn't resist bringing him to a laughter and I snapped this one:

 then both kids enjoyed holding a golden piece with one finger

 they measured their weight in gold,

 and posted their faces digitally transformed into banknotes

 and the trip wouldn't be complete without a break at their favourite street food place
