I guess early morning cooking with Isa may start being a pattern.... 43oam and he is crying so loud in the kitchen with Khalid because he has to eat some cereal that he doesn't want. Which i dont blame him, i would rather have Golden grahams over some tropical muesli anyday. I saved Khalid from the screaming while Isa finished eating, it must have been nasty too because he never leaves any food behind, especially cereal. Hash browns, eggs, smoked turkey and Bisquick coffe cake (just like mom use to make) on the breakfast menu this morning, Inayah and Idreis have snuck down at 6am, I told them to go lay with daddy so they could get at least another hour of sleep in.. The aroma of breakfast cooking must have woke them because we all know how Idreis loves his sleep, here he is in the kitchen now, begging for cereal, i just hope he got enough rest.

Got the three off to school, all in good spirits. Read a little bit and actualy did a few sets of my weights... not a first since we have been here, but something I haven't made time for like I should. Ibrahim slept in a bit so me and Isa had some quality time, doing dishes and painting. The taxi guy came to get us at 11a,m to go and mail some letters and also pick up my package from Rasheda (birthday package!!). So now I know where one of the post offices is at, a bit of a walk, probably 20 minutes, Khalid says there is one closer to the house but for some reason my package went to the other. Lots of goodies, cds, candy, and most importantly bath bars that explode, can't wait to get in the tub this evening. We are home now, Isa is napping, I am going to make K some dinner for the road trip this evening. Ibrahim is shooting hoops on his basket that he received for his birthday.
