Our Week

This week was the Kurban holiday which enabled DH and Keke to have a week long holiday. We were hoping to get out of the city but it was not to be. Instead we did several things around the city. J and I did not do school but she still had a pretty good week with it ending in some friends coming over for her 4th birthday.

I finally had the chance to finish the chef hat that matches the apron I made J. I was worried when I started to put it together that it wasn't going to work but it did. I thought it came out cute. I had to make some adjustments because I didn't have the fusible webbing that it called for but she loves to wear it when we are in the kitchen cooking and she is helping.

We taught J a new game - Parcheesi but about half way through it, she wanted to be the tigers (which were me) and she thought I should take over her camels. It was nice to sit down, away from the computers, and enjoy a family game. Even Kaleb is getting into it!

We were able to experience the zoo here. It was not at all what we expected but J was able to see (and unfortunately touch) some of the animals. She also had the chance to feed the chimps some veggies which was fun but she was nervous about the animals touching her. She had a good time with her friends and was tuckered out by the time we got home.

And we had a mini birthday party for J. She had two friends over and enjoyed playing with them. We made rainbow cupcakes and ate lots of junk food. Later that evening, I caught J hiding under the table, licking her fingers. She was putting her fingers in the frosting leftover from the cupcakes and licking them under the table so I wouldn't see what she was doing. I knew something was up but didn't put it together until about the third time she did it. She had a good birthday. That was our week, not too exciting but fun. Next week, we work on the letter D, we will have Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house, DH will be playing traditional/American football, and I will try to keep up.
