Yeah, I know. We’ve been down for a while. Well for a year to be more precise. So in the interest of playing a bit of catch up here’s our top ten from 2011. I can’t seem to reverse order the list so scroll down and read bottom up. Anita & I celebrated our 10th [...]
So the girl turned nine today! She’s been all sorts of excited about it this year. Apparently nine is Sydney milestone. She was of course showered with the usual plethora of gifts from Mimi, Pop, Granny, aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course mom and dad. Her big present this year is a trip to Atlantis [...]
Well today is the big day. The day Sydney decided to come and play with the rest of us. Believe it or not the girl is already eight years old. She’s also obviously adopted her mother’s ‘month of me’ philosophy with the parties, and the cupcakes for class last week, barely stopping to say Happy Birthday [...]
So if you’ve been reading for the last few months you may remember that Anita found a photographer that worked out of Kuwait but was from KC – Amy Bucher (click her name to view her site – which is quite nice) – and we had her take a few shots of Sydney. We wanted [...]
Well sorta. The page is there and the slideshow on the front page as well as the basic infrastructure of the page are all live but the volumes of digital images that will eventually reside out there are still in the process of being uploaded and sorted into albums and galleries. You can still head [...]

So after dealing with the gate guards not letting in the delivery guys before 9AM everything else today went off without a hitch. Before we had arrived the girls had already finished the yard sale – Syd didn’t find anything that she couldn’t live without. When we rolled in just before noon there were tons [...]

Well folks it’s pretty late. The sleepover got off to a great start. The girls as bouncing around to the DJ fueled by Sprite and cookies so they should be a BLAST for the leaders tonight! Everything that had to be delivered tonight made it – and in fact everything was early which completely threw [...]

Tonight is the Guiding Sleepover in celebration of British Girlguides in Foreign Countries being 100 years old. Anita has been organizing it for the last couple of weeks in her capacity with FOG – not for nothing but catering dinner, snack, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and cake for 100+ girls is not exactly a cake [...]

Now this has been explained to me several times and has something to do with the differences between British Girlguiding and British Girlguiding in Foreign Countries but by my count this the third year we’ve had a centennial celebration. This year all the guides (Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, & Senior Section) are getting together for an [...]

Sydney’s class is studying weather in science and specifically this week – the water cycle. Their assignment was to make a poster that described the entire cycle. They had to label it using their vocab words then use the definitions on the poster too. Check out what my Sweetpea came up with. She sketched out [...]

This was in today’s paper – so it must be true. My favorite part would be that the cops called the father of the two girls who were FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY and he couldn’t be bothered to come get his two arrested children (one of which apparently IS A CHILD) because he was “busy.” So [...]

So ever since we moved into the Villa Al Godwin III there have been a clowder of neighborhood cats that have decided they live in front of our house. When we first moved in there were a couple. Since then momma has had two litters that we’ve seen and the number has grown substantially. Since the [...]

Tickets have been “available” for a while now if you’ve known who to talk to but as of today they are officially open to the public. The event is shaping up [...]

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It [...]

Anita is on a few committees this year and one of the big ones is the FOG (Friends of Guiding – Guides being the UK Girl Scouts) committee. Its really a pretty big deal as this is the committee that supports all of the Rainbows, Brownies, and Guides in Kuwait. Obviously a big part of [...]
