Halloween 2007

Halloween here in Doha is just about the same as in the states. The kids had Haloween parties at school, and we trick-or-treated on our compound. We loaded up the wagons and strollers and hit the streets!





Isaac was a skunk



Jonathan Gabriel and Lukas were characters from Pirates of the Carribean.


Annelise was a ballerina kitty and Aliyah was a ballerina chick!

Pool Fun!

What a week! The boys started baseball, and this year we are fortunate enough to be on 3 different teams! Our Friday's are going to be spent at the baseball field with 3 games!

Jonathan has a Multi Culture Project tomorrow so we just got done baking "treacle tarts" for him to share with his class. He did the whole thing on Power Point by himself and I was so impressed! He kept telling me "mom, it's really not a big deal" I told him when I was his age I had to cut, paste, glue, and write everything for my projects. Wow, it's amazing how things change!

I am including some pictures that I took at the pool a couple days ago. Can you believe that it is still over 100 F here during the day? We are still enjoying our "fall" season. We have scarecrows, pumpkins, gourds, bats, spiders and even a hay bale on the porch!

The Bike...

Lorna Linn is my good friend's live in maid. She also cleans for us twice a week and is an absolute angel! She has a cute 3 wheel bike that she puts the little ones in and rides around the compound. The kids also like to ride around with each other in the basket... very cute!
