I did not believe it either, but sure enough around 1pm today, the door bell chimed and our bagels were delivered. We met a man and his children after the game, they were eager to get their shoes signed by Khalid. Come to find out this family has been here for 11 years and has a bagel business on the side. We have had some cream cheese in the fridge, so we were excited!
They are acutally good too, deliveries only on Monday. The children were happy afterschool to have this for a treat and Ishmael commented, " It has been forever since I tasted a bagel".
Such a simple thing to remind us of home.
We have been relaxing and laying low this past week of winter break. The three did start back at school today, and I went to pick them up with Mr. M and the smaller children too. Idreis received 100% on his math test, he was in good spirits. Inayah and Ish also had a good day at well. The new 7am wake up was welcomed this morning, but we will see how the second day goes. Inayah and Dreis are asleep now, Ishmael has not made it home from basketball practice yet.. we are pushing 9:30pm so... hopefully he will get here soon.
We went to Tequila House after the game, it was Mexican-American but pretty good, over priced a bit, but I think that is any restaurant here that attracts foreigners.
The children behaved very well, we went with the Henderson's and Derrick too, so the children were happy to be in their company as well.
I will be doing the solo act til Wednesday since K left today to go on the road. Should be fine, just hoping to keep Ibrahim and Isa involved in something besides the Wii and Nickolodeon... I am going to look online tonight, see if I find anything happenning in Kyiv for two small rascals... otherwise it may be the indoor playland or just a walk up to the park, if the weather permits, today was slushy snow and drizzling rain outside, Isa's snow pants were disgustingly wet.
