So we are at the park and Ibrahim, Isa and Inayah are jumping and sliding on one of the blow-up bouncers, you can pay 15 uah and jump for 8 mintues. Another girl comes to jump and we can hear English faintly, so I ask the father if he is from the States, and what do you know, he is from Cold Springs/St Cloud area. I told him that we were from MN, but I don't think he belived me. Maybe he thought me and the Six would jump him in broad daylight or follow him home??.. Who knows, either way, it was ironic and kind of cool.

Countdown begins, as the older three will start school on Monday. Idreis is a little worried about being the new kid and had a cry this afternoon about that, Inayah can't wait, and Ishmael is just too cool and laid back to be bothered... And one of the other American ballplayers has a daughter that will start as well, so he will already have a friend. The registration was a bit overwhelming but they all played outside at the school park so at least I didnt have to bother with them. Just a lot of paperwork. But they are all squared away, not sure how they are getting to school on Monday but at least we have a few days to get packbacks and get all of that figured out.

I got down on the 1's and 2's in the kitchen tonight, although I did find a great Indian restuarant that is not far from us, can't wait to go there,but will have to wait, because we went grocery shopping and seemed a bit wasteful to go out and eat when we had food in the fridge to cook..
Also found some white sugar at the neighborhood shop so now I may try and make some brownies tomorrow...???
