Difference between girls and boys

So, Aunt Julie sent the kids Halloween bags. As you can see below Jonas uses it to scare people and Anna-Lena instinctively saw it as a purse. We thought their different perspectives were telling.

Turkey craft

My highlight, the boys helped write their own names, and Zaky wrote Anna Lena's name. Their favorite part, painting Anna Lena's hands and foot.

Turkey shopping

The bird weighs more then the little turkey!

Sunday best

Yes I do love dressing her up, but I am still to lazy to make bows. Aunt Julie, do you remember this book?

The Big Girl's visit

The boys' friend from Jordan spent a few nights with us last weekend. We realized our house would be quite different if we had a girl first as opposed to last.  The kids really enjoyed there time together.  

Independence Day

Friday November 22 is the Independence Day for Lebanon. This holiday ensured that the boys would have 5 straight weeks of 4 days of school or less.  At school earlier in the week Zaky explained to us how they marched around to make shapes out side to loud music, what more fun could you have on an Independence Day, and oh yes there was dancing and hats (but no beer or hot dogs - and there lies a major difference between our two cultures)
