Me, Mom, and my sister, L
The kids spent quite a while playing outside, both on Friday and Saturday
N with Grandma right before he left for his Boy Scout Over-nighterHe would have rathered stay home with the family. He didn't want to miss out on anything. We said we'd not watch a new movie and we'd save him some swarmas.
The kids on the "ice cream" intermission

Hama with T
B didn't want them to leave!On Friday afternoon, my sister and her youngest daughter came up to my house to hang out and visit with Hama before she headed back to Utah. We had swarmas for dinner. They were SO good. We got jammies on and pulled out blankets & pillows to watch a movie together. We watched "Shrek". We had an intermission so we could have ice cream. My niece just wanted the whipped cream, and she left the ice cream in the bowl! Too funny. We had a nice waffle, bacon & egg breakfast, and then the kids ran outside again. My Mom kept telling me that she was going to take this beautiful weather with her back to blizzard/snow-bound Utah. No Way!! We had a great time visiting together ... so much so that I totally forgot that J needed to be at a friend's birthday party!! Dad zipped J over there late, and J still got to enjoy most of the party. We will miss having Grandma here. She cooked us several wonerful meals and we really enjoyed her company. I want that Pistacio Chicken recipe, please. Come back anytime!!

What are swarmas?

I kinda forget that many don't know what a swarma is! It's as common there in Arabia as a hamburger is here in the states. It's seasoned chicken (very uniquely), garlic spread, pickles, and french fries put into a pita. They actually have much better bread, I am told, but we've just used pita bread. We all had very, very, very strong garlic breath for a while, but it was worth it!
Isn't family the best!?!? Looks like a great weekend! Thanks for the clarification on the swarmas, I was going to ask the same thing!
