Eid Mubarak ~~~ Kosko the elf

So today is the Eid not much celebration here at home I wanted to make fattah but with baba not home I think it would be too much food for the girls and myself.  We did call Egypt to talk to Zetu and Guido to wish them a happy and safe feast.  I had even bought the lamb the other day but I had not realize baba was working the day of the Eid.


I think I read in facebook that one of our mami's from the playgroup mention the elf on the shelf and I had heard about last year but definatly Samia was too small, this year I mention it to Samia and right away she know what I was talking about, it seems a little girl in her school mention it.  I had intentions to order it on line but yikes 31 dollars is allot of money for a book and a an ugly elf, so I made one I think it took me 20 minutes and my friend Stacy help me find a letter to attach to instead of the book.

Surely enough Samia found it today sitting next to her bed she thinks Santa open her door and place it in there she ran to the room to show it to me and for me to read her the letter, so far it has work, is amazing the imagination children have actually I envy it right now...how nice is to imagine and not have to wake up to reality.  Once again Samia named the Elf with the weirdest name, I think is combination of her Arabic and Spanish her name is kokos.
