well here he is. i about cried when i first saw him in his little cowboy outfit. his class did a little country dance that was just too too cute. i wonder if i could put the little video here lol. lets seee

well i guess i can be taught huh? lol. well, sorry for the movement in the little video, my daughter is the camera person lol…i almost got sea sick because she moves too much geez. anyhow, at least we got something on it. they made a dvd for us anyways but i doubt you want to sit through that whole thing. this was the cute part. then it was time to get the diploma which they made very nice for them, my son was dancing in the line which was a shocker..i guess he was really happy.

afterwards we went across the street to get a cola since it was so so hot…(probably shoulda got water but hey, it’s a celebration right?) i really liked it when moe moe shared with his little brother. it was so sweet.

for his special day, he got to sit in the front seat and we went to burger king. they got to play outside and run and run and run. the slides were wet but i don’t know from what since it has not been raining. so they cleaned up the slides and the boys played even more. well, that has been most of my week so far and i hope not too much more will be coming up because i am just exhausted from all the running around. enjoy your day!

well, here he is, all of 3 years old and in the fall will enter KG-1. it is a happy and sad day all at the same time. it’s the realization that he is getting bigger (bieggert in his words lol). he was so proud this day and even did a cute little show with the rest of his class. we went to mcdonalds afterwards and he had his pick of whatever he wanted to do.

he even got to sit in the front seat. yeah, i know some of you parents out there are like what??? well here in lebanon a car seat is not really something you find to often in a taxi. you would most likely find them in owned cars. we do not own one here, not practical at the moment lol.

anyhow, he played and played and was just so very happy. i was so proud. he is still a bit young but that is ok, i think we can manage through it with some ease since his older brother already did the school work, i know what to expect. my little omar kissed a girl this day lol…she was rubbing the back of his head and then he kissed her….it was cute! but hey, that’s my guy little missy…hands off.

well, one more graduation tomorrow for my oldest son Moe. Report back later on that one.

one mad, one happy

i really just had to make a note about this one. it was funny because usually omie doesn’t want to take pictures let alone sit next to anyone. we had been at the park for a long time and it was just time to go. moe didn’t want the fun to end of course and showed me with is mad face lol.

as most of you are probably aware, there is a show called the Deadliest Catch. yes, i have satellite so i get to watch it all the time. i joined up with the time bandit website which you can see here, TIME BANDIT . when i joined i noticed that there was a book and being the fan that i am, i ordered it (i ordered the signed one of course).

a lot of things took place prior to getting the book and the details are a bit long so i will spare you the lengthy details and just say this: i had to deal with the customs department for lebanon when i went to retrieve my package that had my chocolate and time bandit book and they were more worried about my book than anything else. lol. it was a whole day affair that left me with a dang headache the size of the world and a lesson in how to claim items so that you never ever ever have to deal with customs again lol.

when i joined up at time bandit, i put my post regarding how and what i had to go through regarding the book so some people thought it would be neat if i took some pictures of the book in beirut. so, i did. it turned into a date with the book and my daughter and i had so much fun doing it. i will leave you with a few photos and the rest you can view here, Aaliyah’s Time Bandit Pics .

i have other pics there to so feel free to browse and post a comment or two…don’t be afraid lol.

without further delay…..here we are with the time bandit!!

I think the picture says it all for my far away friends in pogo land lol.

Wow, my little lovelies just left for their grandmothers house and I am taking a much needed breather. I still will need to venture over there myself but I decided to sit for a few moments and enjoy the silence,

My boys have been fighting all day long and it makes me so very frustrated. Especially today because I was so happy, like I usually am in the morning and I was a bit excited to be going to the park. Not with these two…WOW were they going at it!

_ maybe one day soon they will not be so much of a handful. To tell you the truth, I do not understand why my daughter was never like that. Sure she had moments, who has a perfect kid? I surely do not but they are pretty good when they want to be.

I find that when they are sleeping, this is their best and brightest shining moment lol. ;

Well, I would love to just sit here and type out a novel but I really should go. I have not gotten a chance to see my mother in law in a while and it would be nice to see her. So with that, I leave for the little quiet walk to her house and then to the great pleasures of separating my two little guys. I love them so much !

; I just remembered, my daughter took them over there because they didn’t want to wait for me, I wonder how she did? Let you know later, hey were probably good for her as usual. ^

it was such a great day when i first got my chocolate, i was so happy, the sun was shining, i was dancing around singing, i got my chocolate, i got my chocolate.

BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED!

i honestly do not remember eating all of it. it is a sad day in my house today, no more TCHO !

all i can do with this empty little brown bag is to put on a puppet show

looks like i better order some more because i really do not forsee a future in show business for myself !!

i had actually blogged about these fine ladies a very long time ago and since my life has come to a nice calm relaxing pace, i want to again, direct you to their site and their blogs just click their names a get transported to their lovely spots on the web :o) .

KATHY and JOELLE

both of these women are fantastic, even just from what i read. they make me laugh and smile and are chalk full of talent. if they are not occupied with potty training, birthdays or searching for the ultimate cocktail they are busy making beautiful sites for people. they are the MOXIE GIRLS i tried to get a pic but you will have to wait on that, in the mean time just click the link and go see for yourself. you won’t be disappointed. if you like, you can even buy their book…i did…still waiting for it to be at my front door, MOXIE GIRLS IT GUIDE

just the appearance of their sites and blogs makes one feel so very relaxed and you can’t help but smile at their fun lives lol.

so do your self a service and venture over there….they got lots of links to other funny people like the hey freak guy that i frequent a lot now be sure to check out his little DOMO 365 on Flickr.

And i caught myself laughing till my side hurt because a comic strip they subjected me too…well, they didn’t FORCE me to go look but my natural “cat like curiosity” got the better of me and now i too am hooked. who knew a potato and onion could be so hilarious?

i will never cut up my potatos and onions without wondering what they might be thinking lol. well, i didn’t gain permission to use their pictures so i will wait to put pics here to link to them, i will however supply their links and such on my interesting reads and feel free, no pressure…”better go look”, to wander over there. it’s not like it will cost you a dime to be transported to another page anyways…unless of course your paying by the minute for your internet.

well i must go, i just ran out of chocolate…need some coffee now..my 16 year old is hanging out with me right now which is really cool of her to do. she is great..little replica of me…great DNA!

today my guys are home so i will undoubtedly have a mental breakdown lol. they are both sick and very needy today. they don’t listen what is a mother to do? i love them too too much but when they are sick…ughhhhh.

stuff happens i suppose so today i will be subjected to cartoons, whining and appetites. but so far they are pretty good. quiet actually considering what usually is going on with them. lately they have been using each other as punching bags and that concerns me.

boys are so much different than girls at this age and it’s frustrating. i love them….my babies.

be back later with some updates right now i am headed to go play some games on pogo while they are busy watching their favorite cartoon. fosters home for imaginary friends ….i like the little blue guy.

taco fiesta…i guess is the name of the rock group he is forming at the moment lol.

what a day. i had a hard time today because i just was not feeling well. it all started last night and just sorta progressed to the morning. thankful for my daughter, she got her brothers ready for school, called our driver friend and took their little hineys to school.

i slept up until about 5pm today so i have been up roughly 1 and 1/2 hours. my little guy is home and right now she is at taekwondo with my older guy. what a good girl she is. little omie is sleeping now so i suppose i should take this chance to finish up my readings i have to do for class.

i am taking a class in Chinese culture and i am so amazed at what i have found out so far. this culture is just wonderful. people that are so proud and rich with tradition. it’s hard when you look at the world today and see how many cultures have forgotten their traditions and opted for things other than that. i mean to say, traditions are so wonderful to hold on to and letting them slip away seems so horrible.

well, i’m off for now. i really need to finish my homework up so that i can go hang out with my online family lol. i play in a league in pogo. if you ever get bored or want to play some fun games online you can go check out pogo. look for me if you like. i’m osmansgirl over there but most people just call me OS lol. have a good day and i will be back with more updates.
