About Us

We left the US to live in the Middle East in 2005 with one child and 10 suitcases. We've been here for over 5 years now and we have three children, each born on a different continent!
Welcome to our Blog! This is where we try to keep everyone up to date with news, stories and pictures from our lives! More about us...

A few month ago a really nice Mexican restaurant opened up in a mall about 45 minutes away. Yvonne went up there the other day for a friend's birthday party. She went, she saw, she ate some chips. She ate too many chips and therefore needed a takeaway bag for her meal.

Here is a picture of the bag... there is nothing special about it.

















Here is the side of the bag. From the little picture I suspect they're trying to say to throw this bag in the trash when we're done with it... they need to mind their own bidness... the depth of my corny shouldn't concern them.













These glasses only work when they're in the sun... converting sunshine into cold drink...













Landon got this basketball hoop from a church we went to the other day. He was in the kid's room and they were singing and coloring and all sorts of stuff. This was his reward.

















Here is a zoom in of the top right corner... right next to where it says "CHAMPIONS"

Arabish rides again...

Here is some of the latest arabish that we've seen...

Oh and by the way... I have coded all my Arabish posts in the past withe arabish label and there is a arabish category listed in the left side so that you can visit all arabish posts on one page... your welcome :)

Click on this one to see it a little bigger... but what it says exactly is:

POLICE IS MY JO... ROBBER IS MY JAM
POLICE ACADEMY

I was a little confused at first because I thought said "ROBBER IS MY HAM" but now that I understand that robber is his jam... it all makes sense now. haha.














These next 4 shots are from a restaurant that we really really like. It's called GAD. There is a veritable cornucopia of Arabish in this restaurant's menu. Here are just a few...

Maybe they weren't sure which was spelling was right so they figured they would be right at least once. Heh. Another page of the menu had it spelled "See Food".














I love me some Colo Slw... especially when there is just the right amount Mayoneez.














While Mashroum is speeled rong... I also wanted to introduce you to the idea of tuna pizza. I've never tried and proabably never will.














They have quite a list of sandwiches... even a few for the more frisky customers. Haha.

the healing power of Arabish...

what would we do without well deserved bouts of laughter. after persuing a grasp on this crazy language called Arabic for so long, it is really nice to see them jack up english so good... i mean... so well. haha.

here is a super nice gift bag that we recently received.


















haha... enjoy the caption.

Arabish strikes again...

here is yet another installment of Arabish... one new one and another from the classic collection...

the bat man chevrolet? check out the closeup below this picture...


















i am totally confused because there are no bats... no batman type symbols... but there are palm trees... well i guess that makes sense. whatever.








and from the classic collection... i don't think i have to say anything.


here is the newest arabish:

a restaurant called cook door? whatever.















and now from the classic collection (arabish found on previous trips to the region)...


nothing is quite as savory as a wonderful cup of capputchino.

Arabish installment #1

if only they would ask for some help from a native english speaker... we see so many funny signs because they are either misspelled or just plum don't make no sense (horrible english intended). we will keep you up to date with the latest Arabish as we get the pics on my camera phone :)

here are a few...

i guess he knew i was coming...
















"Lowyer"

i guess he isn't very good at it... if he were he would be for "high-yer"

haha





and we've saved the best for last... this is a sweatshirt we found in the children's department of a local store. it says "wellcome doc" and i think it was supposed to say "welcome dog".

i don't know what the "mutt maids" is about.

and the best part... at the bottom... for some reason it says "Pet Waste Removal Services"

oky dokey
