OH BUNNY!!!!! OH BUNNY!!!!!! OH BUNNY!!!!!!! We are in dire need of things like chocolate bunnies, and chocolate eggs. But, we are traveling. So....can you please manage a special trip? There are Munchkins here who have been very good. We thought you'd have an easier time finding us a bit early and at home rather than at a hotel. Thanks Bunny! And to all my readers, my family will still remember the real days on our calendar this time of year. By the way, today's snap was taken from Camel Rock in the United Arab Emirates.
And, another random bit....
I found this old New York Times story: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/22/international/middleeast/22doll.html
I must admit, Munchkin #2 owns two Sara dolls, and one Fulla doll. Even though the women in my family do not wear the hijab, I felt that it was important for my daughter to have playthings that reflected the culture in which we are living. I occasionally will throw on a head scarf when we are out roaming around out of respect for the culture I am in, respect for the women around me and to blend in a bit better. I also own and occasionally wear my abayas. I have also given several Sara dolls as presents to people back in the home country.
The munchkins have various Spring parties this week at school. I promised I'd bake loads of cookies for Munchkin #2's class, so of course I'm going to bake now for Munchkin #1's class as well.
So......I better hop to it.
Peace.
(Last minute edit) - I just read this in the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/opinion/28rich.html?em&exprod=myyahoo This is certainly interesting reading.
