The last of it

The boys carpet saw the worst of the rats, it stunk!!! We washed it twice with the rug cleaner, it still stunk, we hung it out in the sun for 2 days, and it still stunk. So our last attempt was to clean it Arab style with a hose and on hands and knees. It seems to have worked, will pull it back inside tomorrow.

Hangin

Just hanging in the yard, today was teachers day so no school. 2 boys were very un upset about their day off. We were also motivated to be outside because our house was a good 15 degrees colder.

Pioneer woman

Who's the pioneer baker now. The rats had built a home under my oven causing it to not stay lit. Thankfully the washing machine repair man was able to look at it and said it was the "sensor" in Arabic "sin-sir" love words with such simple translations. So my cake turned out well enough to take it to the church lunch the next day, pretty darn impressed with my self, even if it was a box cake mix!

Free gifts

Free gifts on air planes are a wonderful thing.  Actually free gifts anytime are wonderful things.

Fearless duo

These two celebrated the 7th birthday of our friend.  And they hung with the 7 and 8 year olds.  Jonas was not allowed to ride one ride, and that was the only one he missed out on.  When the 8 year old girls got off the last ride crying the Bowers boys were hanging on tight.  Their face did not express joy, but there were no tears...

So much fun with a box

I have finally downloaded pictures off the i-phone, let the posting begin.

More funny talk

Until I download pictures off the i phone all you will get are funny stories.
Zaky: "leave the door open (at night when going to bed) because I can't see Anything"

me: "say goodnight to baba"
Jonas: "goodnight to baba"

Zaky and Jonas had their first verbal argument: Zaky "Jonas not in your mouth"
Yo "No"
Z "no"
Y "Yes"
Z "Yes"
Y "No"
Z "No"
All while in the bathtub which made it a bit more entertaining.
