Ramadan in Ocotber !!

Three boxes arrived today and Khalid just brought them up the flight of stairs, Inayah and Isa were the first to discover them. We unpacked them and which much delight found Bisquick, syrup, pudding mix, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and Isa's favorite; cereal. He is going to be very happy in the morning with his Frosted Flakes. For those of you who know of Isa's cereal addictions, I have a funny story. So now, he eats his bowl of cereal and instead of asking for seconds and thirds he now just says, " I want oatmeal now".. Hilarious

I also was able to finally get my hair conditioner and Ms. Jessie's products which are perfect for people with natural curly hair. No more Frederick Douglass jokes for Khalid. Inayah will be ready for the runway. It was like Ramadan over here as we ripped open the boxes... still missing at least four boxes with all of my Thanksgiving items that I need to make our meal.

Headed to the zoo or back to the indoor playland. Either way gotta get off the sixth floor.

Made it tot he playland, the walk down was the same as the walk home, Isa... hollering all the way. We all sang The Ants Go Marching, but he could have cared less and literally yelled and screamed and cried without tears the whole walk back, I didnt even dare meet eyes with all the people staring, and I wasn't even holding his hand tightly, although I felt like screaming with him. They didnt really play that nicely at the indoor area, Inayah had about four crying fits, and Idreis had fun terrorizing everyone. Ibrahim actually won the best behavior award (his first), but he did nice and he is so strong, they have a firemans pole there and he pulled himself up it, six times. We are both cooking dinner now and he is helping wash dishes. He has been on the same pan for the last 15 minutes but it keeps him from bothering Idries who is feeding Inara some baby food. So, two Ibo tips (vacuming and dishes).
