Quack, Quack

Well first I must apologize for not posting to the blog last week. I don’t even have a good excuse, I was being lazy! I guess we all need that from time to time. Speaking about being lazy, Michael has this week off because of Eid (Muslim celebration) and we haven’t done much of anything. Poor Michael has dealing with being sick, more allergies than anything else but he is also having lots of sinus pressure which is no fun! We’ve stayed inside for the most part playing with the girls, watching movies and relaxing!

I'll go back to last week and talk about some of the week’s activities. The girls and I took a stroll not to far from our house to feed the ducks! That’s right you read that correctly! We have ducks here on camp. They are very friendly and are not aggressive at all. They loved us feeding them!  Here are some pics. 

 

On the way back we took some pictures in front of the Golf House where there is a huge golf ball! The girls loved it!

 

I did some baking last week. I made oatmeal raisin cookies that were the bomb! I mean they were great! So much so I ended up making them again to take to a dinner at a friend’s house. I didn’t eat too many! Michael took some to school as well! Here is the recipe: http://www.quakeroats.com/cooking-and-recipe/vanishing-oatmeal-raisin-cookies.aspx

 

While we were at our friend’s house for dinner the girls and Liam decided to play with the doggie door! It was so funny watching them go back and forth through the doggie door!

 

We celebrated Macey’s adoption day October 12, by going to the Hobby Farm for breakfast. The girls love going there. One, because sometimes they get to see horses but mostly because they get to watch a movie in front of a TV (which is in one room and the adults can sit in the other and watch through a window) and eat their food! Both kids and parents are both happy!!! When then ventured back to the house to watch another movie and just relax the rest of the day!

 

On Tuesday the girls and I did some crafting! Well since we only have some paper, glue and scissors we made a pumpkin and a multi-eyed monster for Halloween! We don’t have any real pumpkins that I know of around here so these pumpkins will have to do!

 

Tomorrow we will travel to Bahrain for the day! We are excited about this since we didn’t think we would get to go. We originally thought about going to Paris over this break which we thankfully didn’t book any tickets for because we hadn’t gotten our visas yet. On Thursday, last week Michael got word that no more visas would be processed because it was too close to Eid (that was from the person in charge of processes them at 1:00 Wednesday). So we just sucked up and said we will do things around here. On Sunday, when Michael went to work, he got a call saying that his visa was on it’s way from Dhahran and would arrive around 2:30 in the afternoon! YEA!!!!!! So tomorrow we will just take a day trip there and take in Bahrain!

Just have to brag a little on Caley. She has turned a corner in the potty training world and is now asking or telling us that she needs to go to the bathroom. Major improvement from where we were when got to Saudi. Which I understand was a huge change for her plus we were being a little lazy and putting her in pull-up. But is so proud of herself and I just pray that we soon will have two potty trained girls. Caley had her first accident in three days so that is pretty good!

Other pictures I took this week:

Sandy faced girl. A day we went to the park!

Sister Love, Melts my heart!!!

Macey has become quite good at making faces!

As’salam Alikum ~ Peace be with you!
