We are just having a blast here in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Our transition has been smooth sailing so far. I feel like I've been living in th stone age without a phone or internet. Now we're just awating our air shippment and then life can really begin. It's got Important stuff like rollerblades, jonny jump up for Pyper, art supplies, oh yeah and the girl's school curriculem!!! What did I get myself into? Homeschooling for the rest of the semester! No Fear, the internet is finally here (with a borrowed McKinsey computer to save me). But I think it really has been good so far, especially having had nothing to go on. It's a good challenge for me.
Some friends in our compound got to skip school because it flooded yesterday (yeah, can you believ it? RAIN in the desert) so they all came over to our place and did homeschool with us. It was great, we are making a big group effort timeline and it's strung around our school room. The kids put stuff on like: when underware was invented, guns, chocolate, sissors, bowling balls, chalk etc. I guess we'll get to the important stuff too, but its sure fun for them to drive a little.
