a day off

with all that is going on here, we got to have a day off. We went for a day at the pool at one of the hotels here. It was so nice, but since our white bodies hadn't seen the sun in a long time, we all came home with sunburns! The water was way to cold for me, but the girls loved it, you would have thought we were going to Disney World as excited as the girls were for their one day at the pool. But sitting in the sun and having lunch by the pool was such a relaxing day. And just in time since Friday was the craziest it has been here.

silly girls

Ayden was pretending that she was running a doggy restaurant. Poor Miley, they put that puppy through a lot. Anyway she sat her up and then made her a table and then fed her one piece of dog food at a time. So funny!


Annie lynne has decided to become attached to a toy, she has had her favorites in the past but has never been so attached as she is now to "red rover." He is a hard plastic game that she got in Oct for her B-day, but has recently become very attached too. He sleeps with her, eats with her, goes on visits when she comes with me, if we leave the house rover is with us. Then the other day she decided it was rover's b-day so we had a piece of cake and sang happy birthday to a plastic dog who she decided turned 4. That girl is so crazy!


Since Rover had a party the next day Addie decided that it was "baby ashley's" b-day so we did the party thing all over again. This time we sang happy b-day in english and in arabic. the arabic b-day song is addie's favorite thing to sing. Think ashley turned 3 addie decided!

the rain

It has been a while since the girls have seen water falling from the sky so they were so excited when we got a sprinkle the other day. So funny, by the time they got their jackets and boots on, it had quit raining, but then later it sprinkled again for a few minutes and they were ready. They played out there the whole 5 minutes it rained and it was the highlight of the day!!! And it was nice for us too, it knocked down some of the dust around here. Hopefully the rainy season isn't too far off.
