we love PhotoBooth!

A little miracle

One day, we hung out in the mall and found a 200 dirham bill lying flat in front of us. We waited for minutes for anyone who might be looking for it. But then nobody came. So we accepted it with big smiles and grateful hearts. We bought a brand new Lightning McQueen diecast. What a cool treat from heaven!

playdate at 4

On weekdays at 4 in the afternoon we go up to the indoor playground, backside of the gym. We bring out the noise and fun riot. The two odler boys (Zaiid 3yo and Dee 5yo) play with cars and chase, while the 1.5yo Akii and 2yo girl plays - not with eachother though - a bit closer with their mothers.

The sweet girl which she says her name is Sweetie Pie, wants to touch Zaiid's hair occasionally and says she loves him more than his brother. Hahahah!

It's so nice to have these Sri Lankan kids for them to hang around after school. It's a good thing for me too - having easy conversations with a full time mother like myself is a pat on the back that indeed motherly feelings are mutual. And yes we both agree that having two kids are enough already!

typical sunday at the park

kind of a hanging bridge nga ang papa maoy nakuyawan!

akii and the tire swing.

sunday means like a "monday" here in Dubai. So way mga taw hehe.

happy he got his big leaf.

creek park.

Rented a family bike that's suppose to be two guys working on it.

But since the wife is too small, the husband does all the work.

Poor guy. On the brighter side hon, we had a fun ride.

"Push papa! C'mon papa, push pleaaaase!"

Akii & Zaiid.

The biggest ant I've ever seen.

I love this.

100 times better than strolling at the mall.

just amazing

I am just amazed...

Looks a lot like my handwriting hehe.

see: zaiid writes on his own

ZAIID: wow mama look! yellow car! that's perfect... uhm mama... let's go buy car?
MAMA: ok c'mon let's go buy a toy car...
ZAIID: no... not toy car! uhm.. that one yellow car mama!

Uh I don't think that's possible langga.

happy papa!

A special birthday card for a very special Papa created with pride and love by his boys. We lovelovelove you PapaGoy, happy birthday!

happy new home, happy 2010

We are so blessed to have found this place. The boys loved (including the husband) the rooftop. It's got everything - actually more than what we have imagined. It offers sports amenities - tennis, basketball, and squash courts, a swimming pool - a separate one for the kids, and a gym fully furnished with Nautilus equipments. The best part though is even if I got a bigger space to clean up, our home looks more like a real home now. Maybe it's the vibe of the place, it's friendlier and well... homey.

Here are some photos of the boys enjoying our new place. Happy 2010 everyone!
