This week we had a long weekend. This was due to the Saudi National
Holiday that was on Monday. So that meant that Michael was off on Sunday and
Monday. We spent two of the days going into Al Khobar on the shoppers’ bus. The
first time we went we had a list of a few items and end up carrying a lot of
stuff home! Guess that happens when you don’t have your stuff! Michael really
was having a hard time not having “HIS” space to work at. We have one little
desk and he said that every time he went to work I had stuff on it. Which is
true. So we ended up purchasing a table that he could set up in the office room
for him to escape to and do “work!” We also purchased a rug for the living room
and some decals for the wall. Although when we got home the one rug we bought
was way too small. So, on our second trip we bought two more rugs. Now I just
need to buy some padding to go under it so it feels a bit softer when you sit
on it. Here is our living room! It’s looking like a home now!
The design on the wall comes from Ikea and are stickers. The carpet is also from Ikea.
On Monday we met up with some friends at the golf shack to
have dinner! We met another family that lived in Euless. Sarah, Miguel and their
son Liam who is 3 years old. Caley and Liam hit off and seem to be the best of
buds when they are around each other! When we left the golf shack the
sprinklers were on and the kids just ran to it and had a blast running in the
water! Here is a picture of them playing!
I’ve been cooking again this week. I made tortillas and
pizza this week. We were able to purchase chips and hot sauce from Chillis. So,
we had a Mexican food night which turned out pretty yummy. Although I need to
adjust the amount of olive oil that is in the tortilla mix because I think it
is just way to much! The pizzas turned out pretty good, too! The girls made
their own pizza rolling out the dough and putting on their toppings. Which by
the way I bought some pepperoni from the commissary that wasn’t half bad. Here
are some pictures of this week’s cooking adventures!
I was so happy to have my griddle!!! We use is a lot!
On Wednesday, Michael went back to Al Khobar, shopping for
Halloween items, because he is in charge of the haunted house! Just right up
his ally! There is a group on camp that is donating the money to help make the
haunted house and basically they gave him a budget between three to four
thousand dollars! November 1st will be the big day! There will be a
charge to go through the haunted house and the money raised will be used for
the ninth grade prom! The ninth grades will also help run the haunted house!
So while Michael was gone, the girls and I decide to play
outside in our back/front yard. We played with the water hose and had lots of
fun. I wished that I could have taken them down to the beach but it was way too
windy. I got the bright idea to just give them their bath while we were out
there because the water is the same water used in the bathtub plus it comes out
very warm! The girls had a blast here are some pictures!
We tried to make crazy hair but it kept falling down!
On Thursday Caley and I went to check our mailbox and were
very excited to see that we had a package! We a slip of paper in our box saying
that we had a package and went around to the mail center to pick it up! It was
our very first package from the states! And it was from Gammy. We waited till
Daddy and Macey were home from school before opening it. The video will not load but Macey started jumping up and down screaming about the contents...candy... that was in the package! Thank you Gammy!
Here are some bonus videos from this week!! Enjoy
This is hoe Macey greets me everyday when I pick her up! Priceless!!!
We visited our friend Andres's classroom and did some dancing!
Here is a picture of Caley and Liam playing!
Until next time be blessed!
