KG2 Graduation

N’s Kindergarten class spent many weeks preparing for their graduation ceremony. It’s a big deal. They learned songs in Arabic and English. They had outfit changes (a matching H&M dress I had to buy for her and a graduation gown later). They had speaking parts. There were props and a background. Pretty fun and kinda exhausting. She was the only foreign child there and she didn’t care one smidgen.

Here they are doing the song about what they want to be when they grow up. I think they got put into groups. For sure some of them against their own will. N was in the chef group, which she was happy about. She loves to cook.

A three part solo. (??)

And here come the gowns and the marching around in a circle.

Receiving her certificate.

Paparazzi. (guilty)

Some classmates…

Her favorite teachers. They were very sweet! Miss Dalia and Mrs. Marta.

Mister B on a Roll

He is on the move and pretty happy about it. Never know where you might find him (although near a curtain somewhere would be a pretty good guess… he thinks curtains are so fun!).

Mister B to the Salon

This wasn’t the first time Noelle welcomed B to be her salon client.

And I’m sure it won’t be the last…

Dear Daylight Savings

I think I need to make an apology to daylights savings time.

I used to complain about the inconvenience of moving the clock one hour. It was enough to make us late for church or to make my children rise too early for my liking.

But I’d like to apologize now.

Because the REAL evil is the LACK of daylight savings time.

A couple months ago I noticed that the sky was growing lighter fairly early. So I glanced ahead to see the sunrise times.

Say WHAAAA?! 4:54? Oh no please say it’s not true…

I got nervous. But what I didn’t realize is that if the sun rises at 4:54, that an east facing window actually begins to look quite bright as early s 4:30. So it’s actually even worse than I thought!

(4:30am)

My children (who are lacking blackout curtains in their room) are rising earlier than they have in the history of their precious little bounce-out-of-bed-ready-to-go-without-considering-the-state-of-the-drowsy-parents children.

Our current country has a history of waffling about daylight savings time. So much so that my phone automatically changed time and Mike’s didn’t… and we have the same phone on the same network. Weird huh?

I think this month the sunrise is as early as it gets and it should start moving back in the direction that I find more favorable…

My boy H loves to have company in his room in the evening, especially when Mikey is traveling. Tonight I obliged…

Slip N Slide–Balcony Style

My kids asked for a bucket of water and some dishsoap.

I said yes.

They asked if they could get wet.

I said yes.

An hour later they were still sliding around on the tile balcony having a ball. So much fun!
