So yesterday was “Literary Character Fancy Dress Day” at school. Fancy dress is a pretentious English way of saying costume. Anyways, linguistic differences aside its always fun to see the kids dress up. In typical Sydney fashion she was decked out from head to toe in sequins in her Dorthy costume. She even came complete [...]
A Bountiful Harvest…

Yeah, I know, we really do rock. So much so that even our garden rocks. And not in the English sense which would mean our awesome soon to be flower filled yard but in the ‘wow you grew that in YOUR garden’ sense. A garden? In Kuwait? Again, I know you’re thinking its not possible but through [...]
An evening at the theater…

Last Friday night Sydney put on a complete production for us. There was music, interpretive dance, more costume changes than your average Broadway show, and quite a bit of audience participation – to include a rating sheet for each of the numbers. While these pictures and mere words won’t give you a full and clear [...]
Syd’s First Filling
Posted by Stewart in Godwin life in Kuwait, World-o-Sydney on 01. May, 2010 | 3 Comments
Well folks we had a fairly momentous occasion last Tuesday. That afternoon after school we all three headed over to the Basam Dental Clinic for what I would have assumed to be the first of many traumatic experiences for poor Syd. I say this because I grew up with Army dentists in rural America [...]

So Mimi & Pop are spending Easter day with Aunt Marquette & Uncle Rick and I’ve heard that at some point during the day there will be an egg decorating contest. Not being able to turn down a contest of any type Sydney and I have been preparing our entries all week. We decided to both enter [...]
Legos Rock!
Posted by Stewart in Godwin life in Kuwait, Holidays, World-o-Sydney on 12. Apr, 2010 | 3 Comments
Sydney got a ton of new legos for Easter. She’s always liked plating with her blocks in the past and last year we moved up from duplo to lego. It was a bit early and she was still having a bit of trouble with the really small legos. That is all a thing of the past now [...]
My Supermodel-Physicist

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 [...]
The Brownie Promise

Well it’s official folks – our little Rainbow is now a full fledged Brownie. Along with three other girls last night Sydney took the Brownie Promise and was ceremoniously granted her sash. It was awesome. She was presented by Emma Pearson (the daughter of her Reception teacher – Mrs. Pearson) and first had to formally [...]

In the foot races the students competed individually [...]
Weekend Art Contest

I was challenged to an Easter egg themed art contest by our resident artist today. We had available to us a mixed media set but our offerings had to be rooted in painting. Anita was selected as the grand judge and was tasked to come up with a prize for the winner. She was a [...]
