A Bookworm at our house!

This is the moment i was waiting for since i found out that this boy is the mini-me! He can't resist reading and he's turning to a dedicated reader!

Yesterday he installed his reading lamp after i turned off the lights because he couldn't stop reading his story book!

Oh so much cuteness and heart warming scene!

Ghadi is 8!

Home made cake and some marshmallows 

This is how we ended our day

Ghadi will have special celebration on sunday with his best friends 

The plan includes going to the movie, special dinner and then afternoon fun at home!

Adha Mubarak 2015- part 2

We had so much fun the first day at Batroun that te second day started before sunrise!

Sary woke up early and we started the day like this:

And like that:

And when i asked for a brothers' hug i got this:

No Ghadi

That's not what i meant

Yes... Much better ;)

Then we headed to the indoor pool

Sary achieved this day a huge milestone

Something he refused to do the whole summer :

Swimming without holding our hands!

It was so nice to see him moving around on his own

And Ghadi... My adorable fish

He Had a blast using his cousin's waterproof cam

-Note to myself: i'm definitely going to buy one before next summer!-

After all that fun we had a rest...

 Not all of us, of course. Kids enjoyed some billiards lessons and played around

We were hime by evening

Ghadi startedca trash pack football match before sleeping

And the next morning they were thrilled by the lego gifts:

The double decker couch!!!

Happy Eid everyone

Adha Mubarak 2015

We are celebrating this Eid in Batroun

We used to come here in Autumn but it seems summer mood is still on

The day has surely started with the Eid Morning presents

Ghadi had a blast cuz he has been wishing for this Beyblade field since long time. He even reminded me how he tried once to save money and get it

Sary is fond of Sponge Bob these days. I thought  that this boat with the main characters would be a special gift. But he was fussy and he just asked about the other army boat he had seen last week in  a toys store...

Then we headed to the resort along with jamil's brother and family

Kids had a great time and it felt so good to see them running around happily instead of being trapped inside apartments all day long

this would be the best way to say good bye to the pool and to outdoor swimming

The day activities included running, football, swimming.. And running (again)

Adha Mubarak everyone!!!

My favorite football player is

Ghadi!

Yes...we switched from Basket ball to football and so happy about that

He's a passionate player enjoying every single session

While the little one keeps jumping around refusing to get enrolled and obey instructions

Why am i not surprised! 

One and a half year recap?

Is it even possible?

To summarize the last 18 months in one post?

Let's say that i had a long break.

During which i had a great shift in my career, working with a great team on couple interesting projects.

Ghadi will be 8 years old in 2weeks

As adorable as ever, a Football freak and one cute bookworm

Sary has developed a nice character, still finds difficulties to express his negative feelings but we are working on that 

He is funnier, happier and way calmer than the 3 year old boy i used to describe.

Much more about this summer, school and boys in the upcoming posts. Stay tuned ;)

Sunday Morning

What to do on a Sunday morning when having a running nose and no energy to run after two boys in the park? 

Yes.. An art attack!!
