Legos, Dancing, and International Day

The boys love their lego table and building creations. Nathan brought back a couple of lego sets from his work trip this past week, and the boys had fun putting together their new hovercraft and helicopter! Caleb said his cousin Michael, the lego king, would be proud of him :).
Benjamin is a singing and dancing kind of guy. Watch him move it!
Today was International Day at school. Kids were supposed to wear clothes from their nationality and bring in a traditional food. The boys wore their baseball pants, St. Louis Cardinal shirts, and brought in hot dogs! I received a few pictures from their teachers.
 Caleb's class. Most of the kids are from Jordan, and there are a good amount of kids from Iraq and Lebanon too. There are also kids from Belgium, Italy, and Japan...and of course the USA!
 Benjamin's class...he's in the back leaning on his friend Filipa.  The boys were given money to buy some local items. Caleb came home with a bag of lavender, and Benjamin came home with some seasoned bread and a dessert. They said it was a fun day!
Benjamin is learning his English and Arabic letters this year, and he loves to practice writing his name!
Tomorrow we are off to visit the Jolliffs for the long weekend. Please check back next week for updates. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
