A gymnast??

Today I caught Farhan playing with a ribbon which he tied to a stick and he was going round and round, in attempt to make the ribbon swirl. He got up pretty early today considering it's Friday and it's a weekend here. And he was playing alone with that ribbon outside the house. He said he saw it on tv, some gymnasts were doing ribbon gymnastics and he wants to be just like that! Hmmm, ookaayyy but...isn't it a bit girlish to play with ribbons?

From Guppies to Tadpoles

The boys are having their school break for 2 weeks starting last Friday. Since I'm not able to take any leaves to take them for holidays, mom decided to enroll them in swimming classes instead. That should keep them busy for at least half a day everyday apart from the usual routine of studying and doing homework and watching tv and napping. So, some photos of them, taken during their 1st lesson.

Sleeping...

I nicked these from my sis's blog, didn't know she has these..priceless!

Artists at work!

I was thinking of what to put up on the wall at the new house we're moving into soon, and I figured the kids could come up with something. So, here's what they did last weekend.

Emir's drawings are always similar, endless streets with houses with lots of arrows. Probably we're gonna have a town planner? He's really into maps. I helped him with the coloring a bit because he doesn't like coloring that much.

This is Farhan's. Always Ultraman, and nothing else. He wants everything to be Ultraman, his pencil case, his school bag, his clothes, even his underwears! He's totally crazy about this Japanese superhero.

And finally, Ezzat's. Can you spot Thomas the Train in there? Or is it Percy?

A 5 yr old boy with A Pacifier??!!

Ezzat has been very cheeky lately. He used to be an extremely quiet boy. This morning, he went through granny's drawer and found his old pacifier. He never likes it when he was little and yet, look! Such a big baby! Oh he loves to tuck in his shirt now and spend hours in front of the mirror fixing his hair.
