The holiday season is approaching!

And I believe this because.....

1) Today I was able to enjoy a gingerbread latte at Costa Coffee!
2) I caught myself humming Christmas carols yesterday morning!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Lion King 3D

Doesn't it just scream "Saturday afternoon"?!!!!

Please say yes. I'm trying to build a case. Haha.

Games of ALL SORTS :)

During an epic baseball game recap on tv.....

Lindsay: I HATE BASEBALL!!!

Phil: (laughs) Hun, you knew that I was a sports guy when you married me.

Lindsay: (in reference to a 7 a.m. walk along the Corniche) Yes, but when I asked you to participate in a sport with me this morning you said no!

Phil: (laughs) That had nothing to do with me liking sports!!!!

Field Trip!!!

Today was a BIG day for Sarge as he visited the Kuwait Towers for the very first time!!! Phil claims that Sarge wasn't invited, but somehow he weaseled his way into my backpack and made a public appearance at the grand tourist attraction! I was fine with it....and I think Emily was too!

Sarge wasn't the only friend who accompanied us on our morning journey. Valerie (who worked with us in Egypt) is visiting from Qatar this weekend! We were delighted to show her our new country with a tea party at the towers. The rotating observation deck allowed her to see all of Kuwait in a mere half hour, haha. Oh - and lucky for us - we get to see her again this evening as Em and her are planning to come over for some much anticipated X-Factor action! YAHOO!!!!

DAY-MAKERS.

We love you.
XOXO

Where's my 24-hour KNIGHT?!

After ALMOST CHOKING TO DEATH while eating "Shreddies".....



Lindsay: Did you hear me choking on my breakfast at 4:30?

Phil: Yes.

Lindsay: WHAT?! And you didn't come out to check on me?!!!

Phil: It was 4:30!!! I was trying to sleep!!!!

HAR-UMPH. Apparently he won't come to my rescue in the wee morning hours! Do you think I should bring up the importance of buying a puppy again? BAHA.

Walking Club!

My "WALKING CLUB" began this week and consists of me, Cathy, and.......well....that's all at the moment. Haha. Anyways, we've made it out twice this week and I am looking forward to her knock on the door in a few minutes here. For those of you who think a walking club can be "lame", come over to Kuwait! I consider this an extreme sport in this part of the world, as dodging cars, dead cats, broken glass, potholes, and sandpits are part of the deal!

Anyways, every 10km we're going to celebrate with a tea party! Our first celebration is sure to happen this weekend! YAHOO! Help cheer us on!

Conveying Emotions.

While on duty at recess....

Student: Miss! Do you know that when you're mad at us you still look really nice?

Me: No - surely I frown and lose all happiness in my voice.

Student: No, Miss! Really! You seem happy still. Well, maybe a little LESS happy than usual, but still....HAPPY!

Me: Pfft....I suppose I have something that I need to work on!

Student: You should get Mr. Phil to teach you!!!

A Scary Convenience???

Lindsay: I need credit for my phone!!!

Phil: Chill out. It's only been like a day. And I haven't had a chance to go out and get you some.

Lindsay: No - it's been like TWO days. Can't I just add some credit on the internet?

Phil: I'd rather you not. That way freaks me out.

Lindsay: Phil - IT IS 2011!!!! GOSHHHHHHH.

Phil: (after a couple of minutes) Fine. You can try it. Do you have your bank card?

Lindsay: I'm not sure.....

Phil: What do you mean you're not sure?! (Takes a deep breath). You frustrate me SO MUCH sometimes!!!!

Lindsay: (smiles) But I love you!

Good Point.

While making a turkey, cheese and onion sandwich....

Lindsay: (eyes start to tear up while cutting the onion) UGH!

Phil: Here's what I think: how can you like a vegetable that makes you cry? Do you like it when PEOPLE make you cry?!!!! No!!!
