* My sister tells me that Tim Horton's now serves lattes! YUMMY! You will have to enjoy one for me! (We really are lucky to be Canadian. How much more proof do we need?!)
* After a busy week at school, we couldn't keep our eyes open to watch X-Factor last night! We saw two performances before calling it quits. I will have to secure a copy of last night's episode at some point today.
* This afternoon I am going to a Christmas Bazaar with Pat and Cathy! I can't wait!!! Phil will be playing basketball with his men's league team during this time. Can you believe he chose BASKETBALL over CHRISTMAS SHOPPING?! Haha.
* I love starting my mornings with a walk to Starbucks! Cathy and I left our sleeping husbands behind and set out for some Christmas-style coffee! It is SO beautiful outside - the perfect weather for walking!!!
* We leave for Nepal in LESS THAN ONE MONTH! I am so excited to be a BUILDER for two weeks - just like my DAD :)
* Ashton and Demi. Did you hear the news?! When the rumours were circulating weeks ago I told Phil that every break up begins with such media chaos. I really hoped that this duo would be the exception to the rule. Alas, they weren't. Bummer.
* Yesterday was sports day for grades 5 and 6 at school. Phil was in charge of organizing this day, which entailed COUNTLESS hours of prep time this week. He was at school last weekend, stayed late every day this week, and went into school early yesterday morning (a.k.a. I MISSED HIM A LOT). The good news is that all his hard work paid off!!! The kids had a wonderful day and the teachers seemed to enjoy the day too! Next week he will be preparing for the grade 7 and 8 sports day on Thursday. Good thing our next weekend is a LONG one! He is going to need that time to rest :)
* Our (or YOUR!) Christmas cards have been mailed out. Let's see how long they take to reach you THIS YEAR! Our fingers are crossed that none of them arrive to your doorstep "as if they were sent through a fish tank with piranhas" (<----- analogy used by Phil's cousin David).
* On Wednesday night it poured rain in Kuwait! We didn't wake up from the storm like others did, but it was still nice to know that it happened :) When you go so long without rain, it becomes something that brings you lots of joy. And when you see children go so long without rain, it brings you EVEN MORE joy! You have no idea how many times I heard "MISS!!!! DID YOU SEE THE RAIN?!!!!" at school yesterday :)
Time for a tea party with my hubby. He's finally AWAKE and we need to catch up!
Wishing you a HAPPY WEEKEND!
XOXO
